Ep. 22: Night Driving - Staying Sharp After Dark

You’ve driven this road before—but at night, it’s different. In this episode of Mastering the Commute, we explore why nighttime driving is far more dangerous than it seems, even with less traffic.

Randy breaks down the shocking stats (night driving causes over 50% of traffic deaths despite only 25% of vehicle miles), dives into the real risks—like glare, fatigue, and wildlife—and delivers practical, no-nonsense tips for staying alert and safe after sunset.

You’ll learn how to:

• Use high beams wisely without blinding others
• Adjust your following distance and dashboard lighting
• Spot animals before it’s too late
• Handle sketchy night construction zones like a pro

Plus, Randy shares his own drowsy driving stories from late-night gigs and invites you to see real dashcam footage from Florida’s darkest backroads.

If you drive after 6 p.m., this episode could literally save your life.
