Driver tips are instrumental in ensuring that you maximize your safety when on the road. Although late night party-goers cause their share of accidents, you still need to be on the lookout during the daytime. The following is intended to help you be ever more vigilant regarding the traffic signs and respecting the rules of the road.
Although this is the most obvious of all the driver tips, it is still the one responsible for most of the accidents that occur each year. For starters, turn your cell phone off. Avoid engaging in heated discussions with any passengers or doing anything that could divert your attention away from the road. The most important thing you need to do is pay attention to other drivers on the road.
This is especially important at intersections where the leading cause of collisions is people failing to stop at a red light. Why would anyone not stop on red, you ask? Many times people try to beat the yellow light instead of yielding to it by slowing down. A general rule: no matter what, slow down at an intersection even if you don’t see a light or traffic sign posted.
With the winter comes rain and, in some parts of the country, snow and ice. Under these precarious situations, you are compelled to drive more slowly and cautiously than usual. Especially because there are other drivers on the road who will not do so. Black ice really changes the game. It is best to avoid driving in the evening under these conditions.
The last tip for driving is one you should heed throughout the year: keep her steady. Sudden accelerations or swerves don’t give other drivers time to react. You should also be on the look out for drivers who aren’t playing it steady and safe.
