<strong>Why</strong> Men Should Drive at Night<br />

While a woman can see better in the dark than a man,<br />

especially at the red end of the spectrum, a man's eyes<br />

allow for better long-distance vision over a narrower<br />

field, which gives him much better - <strong>and</strong> therefore safer -<br />

long-distance night vision than a woman. Combined<br />

with his right brain spatial ability, a man can separate<br />

<strong>and</strong> identify the move<strong>men</strong>t of other vehicles on the road<br />

ahead <strong>and</strong> behind. Most wo<strong>men</strong> can testify to what is a<br />

kind of night blindness: the inability to distinguish which<br />

side of the road approaching traffic is on. This is a task<br />

that a man's hunting vision is equipped to h<strong>and</strong>le. This<br />

means that if you are going on a long driving trip, it<br />

makes sense for a woman to drive during the day <strong>and</strong> for<br />

a man to drive at night. Wo<strong>men</strong> can see more detail in<br />

the dark than <strong>men</strong> but only over a shorter, wider field.<br />

On long trips, <strong>men</strong> should drive at<br />

night <strong>and</strong> wo<strong>men</strong> drive in the day.<br />

Men suffer greater eyestrain than wo<strong>men</strong> because their<br />

eyes are configured for long distances <strong>and</strong> must be constantly<br />

readjusted to look at a computer screen or read<br />

a newspaper. A woman's eyes are better suited for closerange<br />

activities, giving her a longer working time on<br />

fine detail. In addition, her brain is wired for coordinated<br />

fine-motor capability in a small area, which<br />

means the average woman is excellent at threading a<br />

needle <strong>and</strong> reading detail on a computer screen.<br />
