• You are more apt to get sleepy

• You can be blinded by oncoming headlights

• Visibility ahead is reduced

• More careless drivers are on the road

• dim the dash lighting to cut glare

• increase the dash lighting

At night in position 1, to inform the driver of the red car that you intend to pass, you should:
