Defensive Driving Articles Get The Message Out
There are many organizations that offer defensive driving courses. The problem is that not enough people participate in the courses. Many people are unwilling to pay the price or spend the time to take these courses unless ordered to do so by the court. An alternative way to teach defensive driving is through driving articles.
A defensive driver is alert to all the other drivers surrounding them. He is ready to react, no matter what the surprise situation. He is confident that he is able to maneuver his vehicle in order to safely prevent an accident. He never assumes that he knows what another driver is planning to do. The alert defensive driver is always alert and able to respond to errors made by other drivers as well as the change of road conditions.
The following tips come from several defensive driving articles. They may keep you from being a statistic. In a few minutes, you can learn some good tips without taking time to attend a class. If you have time and money, however, it is suggested that you invest in a good defensive driving class. They are well worth both the money and time.
Obey the rules of traffic. While the basic rules remain the same form state to state, when traveling outside your home state, you should be aware that rules do change. For example, it is illegal to pump your own gas in Oregon, while most other states allow you to use self-service. Although this is not a traffic rule, you will find similar differences in traffic rules.
Prepare to respond to other driver's errors. At any time, you may need to take evasive action. In many cases, a lane change can avoid an accident. In others, greater action may be required.
Keep an eye on traffic surrounding you. Do not forget that there are also vehicles on the left as well as the right of your vehicle. Watching distant traffic will allow you plenty of time to avoid a collision.
Make sure that you are visible at all times and that you can see ahead. Use all your mirrors. Do not follow a truck so closely that you cannot see or be seen. The truck driver cannot see you if you cannot see his mirrors. Do not take a chance.
Look for changes in the traffic flow that are not expected. By watching several cars in front of you, you can make needed adjustments to avoid critical situations before they even come up.
Drive observing the follow of traffic. Cars driving faster or slower that the flow of traffic have a higher chance of an accident. Keep your eyes on the speedometer and stay within the speed limit.
When traveling on long trips, be sure to take regular rest stops. This will help to avoid highway hypnosis and fatigue. If you are sleepy or tired, stop driving. You are no longer alert enough to be a defensive driver.
Defensive driving is a responsibility of all drivers. If everyone drove defensively, there would be less accidents. Remember, even if you do not take a class, you can be a defensive driver. - 21396
