Before driving at sunset, there are several key factors you should consider to ensure road safety factoring in the body has been awake for long :

1. Visibility:

Sunset can cause glare and reduced visibility due to the changing light conditions. Ensure your windshield is clean inside and out to minimize glare, and consider using sunglasses to reduce glare from the sun.

2. Lights:

Make sure all your vehicle's lights are functioning properly, including headlights, taillights, and turn signals. Turn on your headlights well before sunset to increase your visibility to other drivers.

3. Speed:

Reduce your speed as the sun sets, especially if visibility is reduced or if road conditions are poor. Allow extra time to react to unexpected hazards.

4. Distance:

Increase the distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you. This gives you more time to react to sudden stops or changes in traffic conditions.

5. Awareness:

Stay vigilant and pay close attention to your surroundings, as visibility decreases and hazards may become more difficult to see.

6. Weather:

Be aware of any weather changes that could affect road conditions, such as fog or rain, which can be exacerbated by the low light conditions at sunset.

7. Plan Ahead:

If possible, plan your route so you're not driving directly into the sunset, which can be particularly challenging for visibility.

8. Avoid Distractions:

Minimize distractions inside your vehicle, such as using your phone or adjusting the radio, to ensure your full attention is on the road.

By considering these factors and taking appropriate precautions, you can help ensure your safety and the safety of others while driving at sunset.
