Font Size :

If you've been out on the roads, you may see some speed aggressively, others swiftly swap lanes, a few drivers may follow too closely and the rest make sudden turns without signaling.


Things to follow while taking on to the road.


Think safety first: Avoiding aggressive and inattentive driving tendencies yourself will put you in a stronger position to deal with other people's bad driving. Leave plenty of space between you and the vehicle in front.


Stay focused: Driving is primarily a thinking task, and you have a lot of things to think about when you drive: road conditions, your speed and position, observing traffic laws, signs, signals, road markings, following directions, being aware of the cars around you, checking your mirrors the list goes on. Staying focused on driving and only driving is critical to safe driving.


Stay alert: Being alert (not sleepy or under the influence) allows you to react quickly to potential problems.


Be aware of your surroundings pay attention: Check your mirrors frequently and scan conditions 20 to 30 seconds ahead of you. Also, keep an eye on pedestrians, bicyclists, and pets along the road.


Do not depend on other drivers: Be considerate of others but look out for yourself. Do not assume another driver is going to move out of the way or allow you to merge.


Follow the 3- to 4-second rule: Since the greatest chance of a collision is in front of you, using the 3- to 4-second rule will help you establish and maintain a safe following distance and provide adequate time for you to brake to a stop if necessary. But this rule only works in normal traffic under good weather conditions. In bad weather, increase your following distance an additional second for each condition such as rain, fog, nighttime driving, or following a large truck or motorcycle.


Keep your speed down: Posted speed limits apply to ideal conditions. It's your responsibility to ensure that your speed matches the conditions. In addition, higher speeds make controlling your vehicle that much more difficult if things go wrong. To maintain control of your vehicle, you must control your speed.


Have an escape route: In all driving situations, the best way to avoid potential dangers is to position your vehicle where you have the best chance of seeing and being seen. Having an alternate path of travel also is essential, so always leave yourself an out a place to move your vehicle if your immediate path of travel is suddenly blocked.




Safe driving!
