The Ontario Safety League reminds you that your stopping, distance is longer if the road is slippery, if your brakes are poor, or if you are not in good physical condition. Check your car lights all around regularly and be sure about alignment. According to the Ontario Safety League, even when you think you are being courteous, you may be blinding other drivers with mis-aimed headlights. +-I-+ Night driving demands slower speeds, states the Ontario Safety League.
