Safe Driving Tips

1
When I think about safe driving I think about how
I keep my emotions under control.
2
I am well aware that is much easier said than
done.
3
This is especially true when you have drivers
cutting you off, stress from family, school,
work, and every other thing that just likes to
make your day more challenging.
4
With that said though the ability to drive safe
is paramount.
5
With safe driving commuters can get into
accidents that can cause severe damage or death.
6
With that said certain legal problems can be
added to the number of things that you must take
care of if you choose to not drive safe.
7
When driving in high volume traffic on the
highway, its best to keep a safe following
distance and beware of cars making quick lane
changes trying to get into the fast lane going
5mph.
8
So be careful, think and look before you lane
change because once you cross the line there is
no going back.
9
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.
10
Thats the reality of being on the highway
whether youre going 60mph or 5mph you should
keep the same safe driving instincts.
11
Driving in a school zone can be a dangerous act
if youre not following the speed limit or
staying focused.
12
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.
13
Then you wont be as worried about being late to
pick up your kid.
14
Also in school zones it is illegal to text or
talk and drive.
15
The reason for this is that when you are focused
on your phone you wont be able to see that 3
foot tall kid bent over in your lane.
16
Construction zones can be a big hazard to you and
the construction workers.
17
So the speed limit is at least 20 mph less in the
construction zone for your own safety.
18
When going through a construction zone, beware of
anything in the roadway or anything they could be
entering the roadway.
19
The 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.

With these tips driving safe shouldnt being a
worry for anyone.
