Driving Routines You Should Avoid

By Margarita Neyer


If you happen to have been driving for any period of time you will have developed your own personal style of driving and if you are like most people, you probably consider yourself to be a competent driver. The the reality is that after you have learnt to drive it is easy to pick up certain habits and these can be dangerous to both yourself and other road users. You possibly have no clue that you are driving dangerously until something tragic happens to you. On this page we will examine some of the driving habits you should avoid to help you to stay accident free on the road.

One habit that is rather irritating and very dangerous is driving too close to the vehicle in front of you. The distances you have to be able to brake safely in case of an emergency are well known but yet you do see so many drivers ignoring these. The pace that you are going at while driving is relatively fast even though it may not seem that way when you are in the car. It is not only irritating to the person in front when you drive way too close but can force them to make hasty decisions in trying to get out of your way. The truth is that you won't reach your destination any faster if you drove at a normal speed.

Excessive speeding is yet another habit that can be dangerous under particular conditions. In this respect, the majority of people would admit to driving extremely fast at times when they must but if you do this in poor weather or built up areas, you really are exposing yourself and others to real danger. Most serious car pile ups come about because one or more drivers chose to drive very fast in poor weather conditions. If you happen to drive at a speed that match ups with everyone else on the road, there is less chance of getting into an accident.

If you are afflicted by road rage, you'll need to find ways to deal with your anger. It is going to cause a potentially dangerous confrontation and it can affect the way you drive. As a matter of fact, you must not do anything to divert from your driving such as reading, speaking on the phone or text messaging. A person has to be incredibly dumb to not realize how dangerous these distractions are but people do these things all the time.

In the event you alter some of your terrible driving habits, you will be able to be a safe driver on the road and you will be able to have a long and healthy life.
