Study Notes
Safe Driving Insights
- Well-rested drivers enhance safety through alert observations and quick reactions.
- Out-of-state license plates require extra room for safety, as drivers may be unfamiliar with local roads and laws.
- If being tailgated, it's safest to ease off the accelerator, allowing the aggressive driver to pass.
Driving Techniques and Awareness
- Commentary driving involves verbally stating the steps taken while driving, promoting focus and awareness.
- The most dangerous driving period due to alertness levels is between 12 AM and 6 AM, when fatigue is higher.
- Avoiding late-night road trips is advisable as fatigue progressively increases over the night.
Strategies for Safety
- To combat driver fatigue, strategies like consistent breaks, staying hydrated, and avoiding aggressive driving should be implemented; aggressive driving should never be considered a strategy.
- In rush hour situations, if being closely followed by another vehicle, switch lanes promptly to allow the aggressive driver to overtake.
Managing Stress on the Road
- When faced with annoying behaviors from other drivers, maintaining composure is key; taking a deep breath can help reduce tension and promote safety.
