Earlier sunsets can change your commute before you've changed your routine. The same drive home you've made all year starts happening in low light, and that shift tends to arrive faster than people adjust to it.
Here are some quick tips from our team to help:
▪️Clean your windshield inside and out, because interior film scatters oncoming headlights badly after dark.
▪️Confirm that your headlights, taillights, and brake lights all work.
▪️Ease off your speed when visibility drops, leave more following distance than you would during the middle of the day.
▪️Watch carefully for pedestrians, cyclists, and children near neighborhoods and bus stops.
If a crash does happen, move to safety when you can, call emergency services if anyone is hurt, exchange information, photograph the scene, and get looked at even when you feel fine. Cossé Law Firm represents drivers, passengers, and pedestrians injured on Louisiana roads.
