Ten Rules for Driving Safely
Would be drivers in the United States must go through some kind of driving instruction and pass a written exam and a road test before being given a license to drive.
But, if you take a road trip of almost any length, you will encounter an almost unlimited number of incompetent drivers; drivers who make driving extremely stressful for the rest of us. If you want to ensure that you are not one of those drivers, take these recommendations seriously.
1. Do not drive an automobile if you have been drinking. No exceptions, no excuses.
2. Follow safely; at least two seconds behind the vehicle you are trailing. If others are following too closely, leave even more room between your vehicle and those in front of you.
3. If a car is following you too closely to be able to stop safely in the event you have to stop quickly, pull over and let it pass. As annoying as that may be to do, it could save your life or the life of one of your passengers.
4. Adjust your mirrors with care and be aware of where your blind spots are.
5. Always look left and right before proceeding through intersections. Do not assume that other drivers will stop at stop signs or traffic lights.
6. Note the bad drivers and take special precautions when you are in close proximity to them.
7. Be a defensive driver. Remain prepared to compensate for the errors of others.
8. Adapt to poor lighting, bad weather, rough roads or other less than ideal conditions. Drive more slowly, follow at greater distance, etc. Be especially careful when ice or snow is on roads.
9. Maintain your car well. Be sure brakes are in top shape, do not drive on worn tires, etc.
10. Never make another driver adjust his/her speed or course. If you do, you are driving badly.
You may not be able to change the way others drive, but you can help make the roads less stressful and safer by following these simple tips.
