RV FEATURE
The great debate: should you fit driving lights for better night vision, or resist driving at night and save the money for a few extra tanks of fuel? That’ s an easy answer for me. It’ s also an easy and opposing answer for others.
I say do it. There – I might have saved you reading the rest of the article, but there’ s a heap of other useful info you might glean, so be sure to read on through my scribbling.
Others might say that you ' re mad for driving at night, risking animal strike, so don ' t do it.
While it ' s easy to say not to drive at dusk, dawn or anywhere in between, it ' s not that simple. For instance, the great meal, the markets, fantastic entertainment with a night out in a rural town, or a night time tour that can’ t be missed. All these scenarios and more will see you hitting the roads after dark. No amount of leaning forward in your seat closer to your windscreen, squinting your eyes or opening them wider will help you see the road ahead or to the sides any clearer.
Driving lights are your only answer. But what type?
A long, concentrated beam is not ideal in most circumstances. However, it would be okay if combined with a decent spread.
