Safe driving tips and procedures

Safe driving tips and procedures

The key to having a safe trip on the road is safe driving, staying calm and focused.

This sounds easy until that idiot cuts you off almost causes a wreck and shows you his

bird.

You’re guaranteed to get into some kind of road rage, whether or not it’s your fault if

you drive long enough.

What I’ve learned to do when this happens is don’t let it bother you and you win.

If it bothers you they win.

If they win, it’s a good chance driving, aggressive and angry could win your life in the ditch if you’re not careful even dead.

In my opinion, no road rage is worth a life, but that’s how road rage ends sometimes.

Safe Driving And Traffic

When driving in high volume traffic on the highway, it’s best to keep a safe following distance and beware of cars making quick

lane changes trying to get into the fast lane going 5mph.

So be careful, think and look before you lane change because once you cross the line

there is no going back.

One thing I have learned while driving is it only takes one inch or one split second to make the difference in everyone getting

home safe or someone getting carried on a stretcher.

That’s the reality of being on the highway whether you’re going 60mph or 5mph you should keep the same safe driving instincts.

Safe Driving In School Zones

Driving in a school zone can be a dangerous act if you’re not following the speed limit or

staying focused.

Not only can it cost you almost twice as much as a regular speeding ticket, but you could possibly run over an innocent young

kid trying to cross the road.

Then you won’t be as worried about being late to pick up your kid.

Also in school zones it is illegal to text or talk and drive.

Why? Because when you are focused on your phone you won’t be able to see that 3

foot tall kid bent over in your lane.

Safe driving is key.

Construction zones can be a big hazard to you and the construction workers.

So the speed limit is at least 20 mph less in the construction zone for your own safety.

When going through a construction zone, beware of anything in the roadway or anything they could be entering the

roadway.

Reason being is big equipment can be crossed, entering or blocking the road and

the last thing you want to do is run into something weighing ten or more tons more

than you.
