Golden rules of driving on the road from a caring traffic policeman

Having a driver’s license and a good theoretical basis does not turn a person into a professional driver. We also need many years of experience that will allow us to predict the actions of other participants in the movement and respond to unforeseen situations. Therefore, newcomers will not be superfluous to remind driver's rules When driving on the highway. Without this knowledge, it is better not to go anywhere.



Why is driving on the highway more dangerous than bustling through a busy city? In a tight city stream, you have to be completely focused on riding. You need to change the pace of movement, rebuild, stand in traffic jams, hurry, wait for the right traffic light signal and move forward again ...



Against this background, a quick and calm ride along the track seems a real pleasure. Watching the scenery outside the window and the flat road ahead, the driver can finally relax and take a break from city traffic. But here lies the main danger.

Minute relaxation at high speed often leads to deplorable consequences. An inexperienced driver may not have time to react to a rapidly approaching obstacle. And an experienced, but tired driver behind the wheel can fall asleep.

At the same time, it should be noted that accidents on the track rarely end only in fear, because the speed here is high. The annual statistics of road accidents and victims on the highway is truly depressing. Therefore, it is not superfluous to follow 3 simple rules from a caring traffic police officer to avoid trouble.



What rules must be followed on the road

1. Control distance and speed.
   Your safety on the road depends on it. Moreover, the condition of the road surface and weather conditions should be constantly taken into account to select a safe distance and optimal speed. Assessing the handling of the car in a particular area, as well as the expected braking distance, it is better to be safe to always have more room for maneuver. The sudden deterioration of the weather, even an experienced driver, can be confusing. So don't be frivolous. And with worsening weather conditions, it is better to increase the distance to the car moving ahead, slowing down.
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Overtake carefully.
   Overtaking is a maneuver without which you can not do on the track. But often it is an unsuccessful overtaking that causes an accident. Should I remind you that in such a situation, when both cars are moving at a decent speed, there is no chance of survival? More often, the problem is that the driver of the vehicle chooses a bad moment for maneuvering, as a result of which he does not have time after overtaking to return to his lane.
   
   It is not surprising that experienced chauffeurs always repeat to self-confident beginners: “I am not sure – do not overtake!” It is better to skip a couple of cars and wait for the oncoming lane to be completely free and viewable, and then go overtaking.
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. Rest from the ride.
   Drivers are ordinary people who often overestimate their strength. But a tired person under flashing outside the window lulling night lights is easy to doze off. And if intermittent township prevents you from falling asleep, then a smooth ride on the highway can lull in two counts, even if the driver feels still quite fresh. Therefore, tired drivers should not sit down.
   
   In addition, there is an iron rule: you can not drive. more than 8 hours. Rest, and only then continue the movement. Moreover, rest refers to a full sleep, not a 15-minute smoke break with a cup of strong coffee.
   
   
   
   
   
   

We hope that these simple yet relevant reminders will help you become a more attentive, careful, predictable and responsible driver. On the road you need to think not only about yourself, but also about everyone who is in sight. Respect other members of the movement and take care of yourself!
