Driving is just driving, right? Wrong! Many people are not cautious of their surroundings while driving. After all, it isn't the easiest task. Driving at night is particularly dangerous. It is hard for us to see in the dark and fatigue makes it harder for us to focus on the road.
Imagine this scenario: Jean is coming home from work late to avoid the traffic. It is past eight and really dark out. She is very tired because she woke up at around five to get to work early, also to avoid any traffic. On her way home, she is finding it hard to see. In addition, she is ready to pass out from fatigue. Her family is worried because she is not home and has not been answering her phone.
What could go wrong in this situation? Well, there are many things!
Firstly, Jean woke up very early and is coming home late. She is suffering from fatigue. After all, the body's natural way to relieve fatigue is closing your eyes and doze off for a bit. Imagine what could have happened if Jean fell asleep in the middle of the road? She or someone else could have crashed into something and caused a serious accident. In addition, it is hard for our eyes to focus when we are tired, let alone being in the dark! Driving in the dark with fatigue on top of that is a recipe for disaster!
Secondly, coming home late and not letting your family know can cause them to worry about what happened to you. It's a good thing that Jean didn't pick up her phone because that would have distracted her and definitely caused an accident. It's always a good idea to let your family know that you're coming home before entering the car.
In the end, driving at night is dangerous by itself because of how dark it is outside. Once you have fatigue and a worried family on top of that, you are asking for trouble. It's always a good idea to leave home from work while there's still light if you can. Sometimes it's worth it to hit a bit of traffic.
