If7ink, Blink Before
Driving in the Dark
Your vision will improve
20,000 to 30,000 times if you
wait a few minutes before
driving off into the dark,
according to the British
Association of Optical Prac
titioners.
The Association claims it
takes about 15 minutes for a
driver’s eyes to become com
pletely accustomed to the
dark—but
few
motorists
wait even 15 seconds. They
come out of a lighted build
ing, jump into a vehicle and
drive off. They are, in fact,
partially blind.
For minimum safety, 17-
year-old drivers shoulld wait
two or three minutes and
60-year-old drivers at least
five minutes for dark adap
tation, but it still takes 15
minutes to gain your best
dark vision.
