Other Factors like <strong>driver\u2019s fatigue<\/strong> and <strong>emptier roads at night<\/strong> as compared to day time can <strong>make a driver less attentive<\/strong> while driving which can have deadly consequences.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Such dangerous situations can be avoided through certain car safety features that are specially designed for nighttime driving. <em>The car safety features, which help while driving at night, reduce the possibility of a human error induced by low visibility, driver fatigue or distracted driving<\/em>. In order to <strong>minimize the risks of nighttime driving<\/strong>, auto manufacturers are now making some of the most important car safety features as standard in their new cars instead of offering them as add-ons.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Let\u2019s find out the five most essential features that can potentially make driving at night safe.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dAiITJpKTBU?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Also read: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sellanycar.com\/cars-related\/7-ways-drive-safely-low-visibility-conditions\/\">7 ways to Drive Safely in Low Visibility Conditions<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Adaptive Cruise Control \u2013 Say Goodbye to Unintentional Over Speeding at Night<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Not regarded entirely as a safety feature for nighttime driving, the <strong>Adaptive Cruise Control<\/strong> has a critical role to play in making driving safe at night. With the <strong>ability to adjust the speed of the vehicle <\/strong>according to the traffic ahead, the Adaptive Cruise Control feature in modern day cars can potentially <strong>reduce the risk of a deadly road collision<\/strong>. This safety feature helps the most at night as it slows down a vehicle automatically if it finds a vehicle reaching the vehicles ahead too quickly. <em>The more advanced type of Adaptive Cruise Control would even stop your vehicle automatically in case of an emergency<\/em>. This safety feature plays a critical role when it comes to <strong>driving on the highway<\/strong> at nighttime which is when most drivers feel drowsy or even doze off due to fatigue and a\u00a0monotonous environment.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/own_VaRZ9M8?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Read our comprehensive blog on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sellanycar.com\/cars-related\/need-know-adaptive-cruise-control-system-cars\/\">Adaptive Cruise Control System for Cars <\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Blind Spot Monitoring \u2013 Remain Aware of the Fast Approaching Vehicles<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is another important car safety feature for driving at night. The blind spot monitoring <em>works in tandem with a radar sensor system that scans the whole area around <\/em>the vehicle and detects the movements of approaching vehicles. The Blind Spot Monitoring System<strong> notifies to the driver<\/strong> if it detects any vehicle in any of the blind spots around the vehicle <strong>with the help of either a flash light or through a chime<\/strong> (particular sound, ring or an alarm). The notification <strong>suggests the driver to wait<\/strong> before making a lane change thus helps in avoiding a collision.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3b35Qc6lcV8?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Also read: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sellanycar.com\/cars-related\/6-affordable-new-cars-blind-spot-warning-system\/\">Six Most Affordable New Cars with Blind Spot Warning System<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Lane Departure Warning \u2013 Avoid a Sudden Lane Change<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A sudden lane change on a busy road at night can be deadly and in order to avoid such precarious circumstances, the Lane Departure Warning System is essential. This <em>system indicates to the driver if the vehicle is leaving the lane without signalling to the cars behind<\/em>. It <strong>alerts the driver<\/strong> through different warning signals to first indicate to other drivers and then leave the lane. <em>The warning signal could be in form of a vibration in the driver\u2019s seat, a loud alarm or a visual warning on the dashboard<\/em>. A more advanced Lane Departure Warning System <strong>automatically steers the vehicle slightly<\/strong> to keep it in the lane.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T8sJwuZyVAY?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Read our comprehensive blog on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sellanycar.com\/cars-related\/understanding-the-lane-assist-safety-technology-in-detail\/\">Understanding the Lane Assist Safety Technology<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Driver Alert Systems \u2013 Stay Active All the Time while Driving<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Inattentive driving caused by fatigue, use of mobile phone or any other distraction has been a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sellanycar.com\/cars-related\/leading-cause-road-deaths-uae-revealed\/\">leading cause of fatal road accidents<\/a> at night. The driver alert systems in modern day cars<strong> monitor the lack of concentration while driving<\/strong> and <strong>alert the driver<\/strong> with the help of a vibration in the seat, <strong>visual warning on dashboard<\/strong> or through a warning sound. Major car brands like <em>Nissan, Volvo, Lexus, Ford, Volkswagen<\/em> and many others have launched their own versions of driver alert systems in their cars. The purpose of all these driving alert systems introduced by different brands in their car is to <em>help the driver maintain focus on the road<\/em> while driving.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iOCwwRFmrVA?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Night Vision \u2013 No More Run-over Accidents at Night<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Night Vision safety feature is not a common safety feature in modern cars as it is a very <strong>advanced and expensive technology<\/strong>. With many safety features now being offered as a standard, hopefully this safety feature will also be found in the future cars. But it surely does its job and that too in a highly convincing manner by <strong>enabling a driver to locate objects beyond the range<\/strong> of the headlights. <em>Usually set as a sensor in the front grille of a car, the night vision detects warm bodies <\/em>like pedestrians and animals in its range and<em> alerts the driver through a dashboard warning light <\/em>if the car gets too close to a warm body on the road. The <strong>highway run-over accidents<\/strong> involving animals as well as pedestrians can easily become a thing of the past with the use of Night Vision.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gBj2_hi4-s8?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Also read: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sellanycar.com\/cars-related\/5-advanced-vehicle-safety-technologies\/\">5 Advanced Vehicle Safety Technologies<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Bottom-line<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Modern car safety features can help in reducing the risk of a dangerous road accident but <strong>being attentive while driving at night <\/strong>is the most important safety protocol. Safety technologies are still evolving and they are getting better by the day, but they are still far from making the vehicle completely autonomous. \u00a0Even if your car does not have the above-mentioned safety features, you can still avoid a dangerous road accident by being more careful while driving at night. Other than that, knowing your car and understanding all its safety features is also very important to make the appropriate use of these features at the right time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Looking to buy a new car with better safety features for driving at night?
