The secret car button that almost no one knows
Night Driving Strain
Driving after dark can feel exhausting, especially when
headlights glare in your rearview mirror.
As the article notes, “bright headlights from cars behind you
reflect sharply in the mirror,” making it harder to stay relaxed and focused.
A Simple Adjustment
Many cars include a built-in rearview mirror feature that reduces glare.
With “one small adjustment,” harsh light softens, helping your eyes
adapt and keeping attention on the road ahead.
Safety Benefits
Reducing glare helps “preserve night vision, minimizes fatigue,”
and improves awareness of traffic, pedestrians, and subtle movement in low light.
It turns a common annoyance into a practical safety tool.
Driving With Care
Combined with clean mirrors, proper headlight alignment,
and rest, this feature supports calmer driving.
The article reminds us that “safety begins in stillness”—
learning to see clearly, even in the dark.
