For quiet control of the car, you must constantly drive it
so as not to lose driving skills. Moreover, the driver must have a good
reaction so that, without thinking, be able to quickly respond to various cases
on the road. It is worth remembering the rule of the three "D":
"give the fool the way."
Car selection
There are many nuances in choosing a car responsible for
driving safety. The steering wheel should be located in accordance with the
direction of movement, which is established by law in the country. It is worth
paying attention to the coloring: bright colors make the car more visible, but
an extraordinary design is undesirable, as it can distract the driver of
another car.
It is also better to take a car with front-wheel drive and a
long hood, which would protect in case of an accident. A hard top will save you
from a coup. Headrests with a high back will also be a plus, because they
protect against bruises and injuries when the roof is pressed in.
How to prepare for departure?
It is necessary to arrange the luggage, taking into account
the likely collision. If this happens, then things can move and injure people
in front. For example, a first-aid kit that is free, in an accident, can cause
damage to the driver. It is possible that the car will stall halfway: in the
warm and hot season, it is better to take drinking drinks, and in the cold -
warm clothes. It’s safer to take a fellow traveler with you who is
unintelligible, attentive and physically strong. Such actions increase safety
while driving.
General safety rules
It is advisable to move at a 4-second distance from other
cars for smooth braking. When managing, focus on the point drawn in the
imagination in the distance, into which you need to get. Keep the steering
wheel on the sides, and not on top or bottom. Thumbs hold the steering wheel of
the side that is inside.
When switching the gearbox with the right hand, the other
hand should be in the upper sector of the steering wheel if you have to perform
a sudden maneuver. When turning, do not narrow the turning radius so that it
drifts less. Overtaking is best done when the road goes to the right side and
when there is confidence that after the overtaken car there is a gap where you
could stand. It is necessary to keep in mind the condition of the road: for
example, the car ahead can go left to avoid an obstacle, and at such a moment
it is dangerous to overtake it.
Human factor
Driving is not recommended to sit in an excited or bad mood.
Many people died in accidents precisely because of distraction to their
problems. Before driving it is worth getting enough sleep so as not to lose
concentration of attention. Every hour, it is advisable to stop for rest: get
out of the car for a few minutes to stretch the stiff body. After drinking
alcohol, it is better not to drive for three days, since at this time there is
a decrease in the speed of the psyche's reaction to everything around.
