To be a visually oriented safe driver: I. Give yourself access to the total visual driving picture by keeping all car windows clean of snow, ice and fog. An air conditioner will clear car windows of inside moisture quickly, even in winter. • 2. Help others see you, par- ticularly at, dusk, by turning on your headlights. The contrast between sky brightness and road darkness at dusk makes' seeing difficult; 6 p.m. is the most common time for fatal accidents. 3. Make allowances for re- duced vision at night by reduc- ing your speed. Darkness decreases the ability to see at a distance to about one-sixth of daytime distance acuity, re- stricts side vision and elimi- nates many elements needed I to judge distance and speed, 4, Keep windshield wipers and blades in top working order. Smeared, dirty and scratched windshields increase glare by scattering the light from headlights of oncoming cars, 'Car windows should be washed regularly, both inside and outside. Specially designed snow or winter blades offer big payoffs for snow-belt residents. 5. Be certain you can see ef- fectively out, of the corner of your eye. The minimum safe driving field of vision is 70 de- , grees to each side when looking straight ahead, This is usually . measured during a professional vision examination. 6. Be certain your vision is veffective for judging the dis- tance between yourself and others, especially when both arc in motion, and for judging whether a car is moving toward or away from you. Annual chedcup's a must Maintaining good vision re- quires regular professional vision care and is just as impor- tant as regular car maintenance. Vision screening tests adminis- tered in driver license testing offices are no substitute for an annual vision examination. The screenings do not cover all the skills a driver needs, such as sharp visual acuity to see clearly far ahead; precise depth perception to judge dis- tances between their car and cars approaching or ahead; a wide field of vision to spot ob- jects and movement to the sides without losing sight of what's ahead; good night vision-to see' under low illumination and against the glare of approaching headlights; perfect eye coordi- nation to see a single proper im- age; and good color perception to instantly recognize various colors or road signs. Changes in vi s ion are so sub- tle that they often go unnoticed. The accident-free driver sud- denly may be filing an accident claim with the insurance com- pany, recuperating in a hospital or agonizing over causing the accidental death of a pedes- trian, other driver or passenger. Most vision problems can be corrected, and drivers can learn to compensate for those that can't be. Most vision problems will not force anyone to give up driving, Alb help keep older Ameri- cans in action and help them drive safely, AOA suggests that older drivers: • I , Have a professional -vi- sion exarnination annually,, un- less otherwise.recommended by a vision specialist, to be cer- tain of the proper vision correc- tion for both day and night driving. (Almost everyone over 45 needs some type of *vision correction to compensate for vi- sion changes that come with age.) 2.• Wear quality sunglasses during the 'day to protect the eyes from sunlight glare but never wear them it night, when they drastically reduce the light needed to see clearly, (Due to chemical changes, within the eye, older persons need more light to see effectively and are bothered more by glare than younger people.) 3, Study the car's roadway far ahead and, glance frequently at the rearview mirror and to the- sides for signs of danger to compensate for the loss of some peripheral or side vision that occurs with age. This also helps drivers to stay alert and antici- pate danger. 4. Choose ,a car without a tinted windshield. ,,A tinted windshield reduces the amount of light ,entering the eyes and can be a handicap at' night for The older driver. 5.. Be sure headlights are clean and adjusted, to ade- quately light the roadway. 6, Keep the windshield clean inside and outside and be sure rearview mirrors are clean and, adjusted. 7, Know the side effect of any drugs being taken before getting behind the wheel. 8. Avoid drinking and Smok- ing, which can affect the visual skills needed to drive.
