For a long trip, motorists often opt to drive at night. It is because there is less traffic than at daytime and it is not as hot. They can begin their trip after work. But motorists must be cautioned that they should not drive while tired or sleepy, which can happen after driving for a long period.

Motorists often fall asleep at the wheel some time between 1am and 5am. So when you drive for a distance, you should get into a petrol station for some exercise or some rest.

Drinking hot coffee can refresh you, but it is not sufficient if you are very tired. In which case, you could better do with some rest at a petrol station, at a police checkpoint or at a Highway Department rest area especially available during long public holidays.

You should also take extra care when driving at night. The visibility is poorer than during day time. Along parts of the route that are dark or poorly lit, you may turn on the high beam to improve visibility. But you should switch back to the normal beam when following another car or when there is another vehicle coming in the opposite direction. Keeping the high beam on can be dangerous and is considered a bad manners.
Driving at night, you should focus on using light signals rather than honking because it is more clearly visible. For example, if a driver ahead of you is about to make a turn at a close range, you should flick the high beam a few times to tell him that you want to pass first.
