Excellent driving and driving confidence come with years of constant driving. But even a great driving experience and a good reaction will not be able to help if you do not follow the basic rules and safety on the road.
Instructions
Step 1
Learn and obey all traffic rules. Even if you have been driving a car for quite some time, check the rules from time to time. Some are forgotten over time. In addition, they are periodically supplemented and slightly changed.
Step 2
Be extremely concentrated and attentive on the road. Do not talk while driving on your cell phone, do not eat or spin. Also try to choose and put on your favorite disc in advance, so as not to be distracted by it on the way. Remember that the situation on the road can change at any second, and in order to protect yourself, you will need to react quickly.
Step 3
Play your music at a low volume. This will allow you to hear a noise in the car, warning you that there is a problem. Also, other drivers may honk you, and not only to show their attitude to your driving, but also to warn you about external signs of a malfunction of the car.
Step 4
Look not only forward, but also in the rear and side mirrors. This will help you better control the situation while moving.
Step 5
Watch your speed. Violation of the speed limit can not only entail a serious fine, but in some cases be fatal. Even at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, it is difficult to react very quickly and correctly, and starting from 100 it is almost impossible. Of course, it is simply unrealistic to protect yourself from everything on the way, but it is quite possible to minimize the risk.
Step 6
Keep your distance. It is only with experience that you can correctly determine the relatively safe distance to the vehicle in front. The less experience, the greater the distance should be. But even here you need to know when to stop, otherwise all and sundry will try to overtake you, which is also dangerous. There should be a sufficiently long distance even in bad weather, for example, when it is raining heavily, snowing or icy conditions.
Step 7
If you feel unwell, stop driving. It is better to survive one day without your beloved car than to repair it later or end up in the hospital.
Step 8
Get a good night's sleep before driving long distances. If on the way you suddenly began to feel very sleepy, get off the road and close your eyes for 15-20 minutes. Even with such a short rest, you will be able to cheer up.
