Not only beginners, but also experienced motorists make common driving mistakes. And more often they come not from ignorance of the rules of the road or from the fact that there is little driving experience, but from the fact that at some point we stop paying attention to elementary things.
Be attentive in bad weather
Fog, heavy rain or snow impairs the visibility of the road, and sometimes nothing at all is visible at a distance of one meter. In addition, in combination with drops of oil and gasoline, a wet road becomes very dangerous - drifts can occur. In addition, the danger is posed by pits that are filled with water or porridge from wet snow with mud, and they are invisible on the roadway. Slightly exceeding the speed limit in such weather is fraught with serious accidents. Therefore, if you can wait out such bad weather, then it is better to do it.
Remember the animals
When entering an area with a Wild Animals warning road sign, sound the horn and do not exceed the speed, trying to drive the area faster. The signal, as a rule, helps to frighten off the animal, and the optimal speed will allow you to make a maneuver in time if the animal did jump out of the forest. But if, nevertheless, an accident occurs, call the traffic police. Do not try to help the animal. Being in a state of shock, the animal, as a rule, shows aggression and can attack you.
Buckle yourself and buckle up all passengers
Drivers adhere to the belt rule strictly. But passengers in the back seat are rarely fastened. Anywhere, the weight in a collision increases and can be severely injured or even fatal. The belt reduces the risk of death in a head-on collision by 2, 5 times, and when overturning - 5 times.
Do not transport children without a car seat
The law on the transportation of children in car seats came out a long time ago, but still not everyone adheres to it. Also, there are still parents who buy low-quality car seats without certificates available on them, trying to save money. Of course, such a chair will help to avoid a fine, but in the event of an accident it will not save the child. Children who are transported outside the seat or in poor quality and who are involved in an accident usually die.
Don't turn your car into a warehouse
Do not use the machine as a storage place. Remove all unnecessary and superfluous from the salon immediately. There are situations when it becomes necessary to translate something. Do this without children and not during rush hour. If you are a confident driver and can navigate freely in the dark, then it makes sense to transport your belongings after 8 pm, when the roads become less congested. Remember that in an accident, unnecessary items can cause serious injury.
Keep calm
Autohams are a common phenomenon in the modern world. Meeting them can unsettle anyone. But many can be provoked to make mistakes while driving, resentment, criticism and disrespect shown to you. Give yourself a directive that peace of mind is the key to safe travel and health.
