And lo, that source's number one safety tip for night driving:
> 1. Allow for enough distance to stop. We recommend that you gauge this distance using your headlights. Low beams should allow you to see up to 160 feet away, while high beams should illuminate about 500 feet in front of you. Make sure that, if and when you must brake hard, that you can brake within those distances.
And what a great tip it is! "Drive so that if you need to brake, you don't collide". No shit, Sherlock.
In other words, people just need to always drive far slower than what everyone believes they can handle in a situation that they aren't trained for, and everything will be fine. Everyone who collides anyway is just reckless and stupid!
Now please excuse me, I have exhausted my sarcasm budget for today.
