New drivers should practice at night because driving in the dark is very different from driving during the day. Visibility is lower, headlights from other cars can be blinding, and it can be harder to see pedestrians, road signs, and animals. Practicing at night helps new drivers learn how to adjust their speed, use their headlights correctly, and stay extra alert in low-light conditions. Since many accidents happen at night, gaining experience in a safe and supervised setting builds confidence and prepares new drivers to handle real-world situations more safely.
