Driving in the Dark

A continuation of our occasional series of the Highway Code in the original text: ‘Never draw up at night on the wrong side of the road. (a) Never park a car during the hours of darkness on the wrong side of the road, for your lamps will confuse other drivers and possibly cause them to run off the road, as the natural tendency is to pass a pair of white lights on the near side (in countries that have right hand drive, ed.). This practice may bring you into conflict with the law, especially if it has caused an accident. (b) Avoid stopping at night with the headlights on; besides confusing and blinding other road users, this puts a needless strain on the batteries. In our picture, the driver of the red car (click pic for enlargement) is guilty of both (a) and (b).’ (Cigarette Card collection Rutger Booy, with permission of the copyright owner).
