At night, it is best to know how to change a light bulb. A normal light bulb contains a filament that turns on when electricity is applied to it.
When the bulb is turned on, it heats up and begins to glow. This glow expands and reaches the rest of the house because of the lightbulb’s quality R&D.
A regular light bulb can last for about 9 months before needing replaced. After that time, you must buy a new one!
specialty bulbs have different qualities that require different types of lights bulbs. These include: pure white lights, soft or hardlight bulbs, and coloured lights.
Run straight ahead
If you can see a vehicle, in most cases it is best to hide behind a vehicle or in the same direction as the vehicle.
Many vehicles have a blind spot just like people, making it the best option for hiding. If there is not, then it is best to run directly ahead and out of the cars path.
Run to the left
If you are physically unable to move to the left, the only other option is to run away. Both of these actions will make you more vulnerable to vehicle traffic.
Running may help reduce stress, which can help improve your recovery. It can also help create a safer environment for you and others involved in the accident.
It’s important to note that if the vehicle is standing still, this is not a valid option. You must be able to flee quickly and effectively due to its inability to flee or not respond correctly following an accident.
The easiest way to get out of a motor vehicle accident is directly away from the vehicle – this includes getting out of the car and going through a nearby parking lot or building if there is one, or running away if there isn’t.
Run to the right
If you are unsure if your car is parked or driving, the first thing to do is to look behind your car. If the car is not behind where it should be, then it is parked and you can run to the right to see if someone pulled into their parking spot or left a ride open.
If the car is parked, then run to the left and check under the trunk. If both of these steps show that your car is safe, then you are good to go!
If not, then check under the front passenger seat and in the back if there was anyone else sleeping there.
Crouch down
If you are blind because of an approaching motor vehicle, you may find it helpful to crouch down as much as possible. This helps reduce your visibility to the vehicle and others around you.
Because of the angle at which a parked car appears to be, you may also think that it is safe to walk across it or ride a bicycle across it, but this is not always the case.
If the person operating the vehicle sees you before they see the bike or pedestrian, then there is a better chance of them yielding to your request for assistance. There is also a chance that they will slow down in order to give you assistance, which may make you feel more confident when asking for it.
It is best to ask for help if there is any chance that someone will be able to drive or operate an equipment ride or operation while being assisted.
Look at the vehicle’s headlight pattern
If there is a headlight pattern, look at it to see if it is round, square, or some other pattern. If it looks like a circle, square, or some other pattern, you can probably go about your night without worrying about being detected by the car’s headlights.
If there is a pattern that looks like a grid, look at each angle of the pattern to see if there are smaller angles that may affect your vision. A lot of vehicles have tiny gaps in their headlights where these smaller angles exist.
If one has trouble looking at stripes or patterns as described above, then one may want to consider applying tape to help cover up the areas of vision affected. These can be purchased from medical supply stores or beauty supply stores and shipped with the vehicle for easy transportation during the day and night.
Identify the vehicle type
If you are blind because of an approaching motor vehicle, then you should immediately be able to identify the type of vehicle by its color, shape, and/or size.
The majority of vehicles have a license plate that is attached by a ring or clip. If the plate is different from the vehicle’s other equipment, such as a make and model, then it is possible to tell which company makes the vehicle.
If there is no other equipment on the vehicle, such as a tow hitch or rack and pinion, then it is still possible to tell which direction the vehicle is coming from and which direction it is going because of that. If it is going in your direction, then it must be coming out of!
If you are blind due to an approaching motor vehicle at night, there are some things that you can do to ensure your safety.
Calculate the vehicle speed
When there is a motor vehicle nearby, it is important to calculate the vehicle speed. The average human can do this by counting how many times the front tires on the vehicle move up and down during a minute of operation.
Using this information, you can determine the approximate distance your vehicle is from another one. You can compare this distance to what the police estimate for a safe speed for an intersection.
If your vehicle is at or above this safe speed, then it is fine to approach the intersection alone! If your vehicle is below this safe speed, then you should consider getting into another car to travel to the same destination as fast as possible.
It’s also important to note that if you are blind without an aid such as a GPS, then you must still calculate how far away the motor vehicle is using their estimated speeds.
Move to the side of the road nearest oncoming traffic
If you are driving at night and you cannot see a vehicle or object that is approaching your car, it is best to move to the side of the road nearest oncoming traffic. This way, you will be able to determine if the vehicle gets stopped or continues walking before getting involved in any traffic.
This is also a good way to protect other drivers from having to stop their vehicles for you. If a driver sees an automobile driving without its headlights on and a stranger gets out of the vehicle and starts walking toward them, this driver may think that they are heading towards water or another water feature but really just going somewhere else.
As stated before, if the motor vehicle is coming from the opposite direction, then it is best to avoid playing hide-and-seek. If possible, stand as close as possible to the car so that they can hear you properly.
