Advice on Safe Driving Techniques

When it comes to being a responsible citizen, driver safety is
something that should always be taken into consideration. If a person
is properly educated about the rules of the road and they abide by
those rules, then it is less likely for them to cause an accident. It
is important to be mindful that you are not the only person driving
on the road and driving irresponsibly can cause you or someone else
on the road to cause an accident or die. There are signs and speed
limits for a reason, without these extra precautions it would be
difficult to safely drive anywhere. Luckily, there are some necessary
steps that can be taken to reduce the risks that come with driving.

One
of the most important things to consider while driving is to always
keep your eyes on the road and be mindful of other drivers. This
includes putting away distracting electronic devices and trying not
to mess with your radio while driving. The “Do Not Disturb”
feature on some phones allows drivers to receive notifications after
they’re done driving. Another important step is that you are aware
of the speed limit and road signs as you are driving. If you know
what each sign means it’ll help you understand how to drive in the
area you’re going. If you are unfamiliar with some of the signs,
you can find a road sign review on the internet. If you are in the
car with someone that isn’t following proper road safety
procedures, you can either tell them to stop what they’re doing or
offer to drive so they can finish what they were doing.

I
have been driving for over 6 years and I have never been in an
accident nor have I received a ticket. I would consider myself an
experienced driver, therefore, when I am in the car with someone that
I feel will jeopardize my safety, I always offer to drive or if they
need to send a message while driving, I will send it for them. I
personally always prefer to drive myself places anyway. Fortunately,
I have never been in an accident nor have nor of my friends and
family members. We all like to practice safe driving techniques
because we always stress the importance of being able to make it to
all our destinations safely.

Although
I believe that I am already a safe driver, there is always room for
improvement. Not only should you keep an eye on how you are driving,
but also how others around you are driving and being mindful of the
environment. Pay attention to your mirrors to see if there are any
cars driving reckless nearby. Being a safe driver is the best way to
decrease the number of car accidents and deaths.
