Driving at night isn’t the most popular evening activity with a huge 31% of British drivers refusing to get behind the wheel after dark. In fact, over 50% of people have admitted that they struggle to see well after dark, which suggests that perhaps they shouldn’t be driving at all – even if they don’t object to it.
