Know Defensive Driving: Road Safety Tips
Modern driving might feel like navigating a jungle with wild animals—not simply wildlife crossing signs. Distracted drivers, speed demons, and cereal box licensees are unpredictable, unsafe highway drivers. Do not worry! Master cautious driving to avoid accidents. And guess what? Safe2Drive helps throughout.
What's defensive driving?
Think about defensive driving a superhero without a costume or mask, but sunglasses would help. It involves anticipating dangers, adapting to traffic circumstances, and preventing accidents while maintaining calm. In defensive driving, you're always three moves ahead like in chess. Develop road-savvy thinking, but how? Analyze key techniques.
Focus and Avoid Distractions
Being aware is the first defensive driving rule. We won't criticize you for drinking six cups of coffee before driving. Monitoring your environment. Beware of reckless cars, pedestrians, and bikers who use the road as a playground. Avoid texting, changing songs, and eating burritos while driving. Multitasking while driving is untrue. Focus on the road and stop if necessary. Even if it means skipping your fave song segment.
Maintain Safe Following Distance Tip
Tailgating doesn't accelerate cars. You'll look jerky. Importantly, it reduces your reaction time if the driver ahead brakes suddenly. Leave three seconds between your car and the one ahead. Double in bad weather. Give everyone a break—nobody likes a possessive driver.
Expect Unexpected
Yes, some drivers should not drive. They cross three lanes without indicating or think stop signs are advice. These behaviours must be anticipated and prepared for in defensive driving. Maintain exits. Does your surroundings have open lanes? A safe shoulder if needed? Know your alternatives to avoid crashes.
Control Speed
We love the wind in our hair (or against our bald heads) while we drive. Speed limits serve a purpose. They're not government-set random numbers; they safeguard you and others. Speeding reduces reaction and increases accidents. Thus, follow speed limits and respond to road conditions. Coming late is better than never.
Keep Calm and Continue
When another driver cuts you off or won't merge, you may lose your cool. Road rage can impair driving. Do not let your blood boil; breathe deeply and know that becoming irritated won't help. Stay calm and focused on your destination for defensive driving. Why Safe2Drive?
