Study Notes
Driving Safety Tips
- Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you: Aim for a 3-second gap between your vehicle and the one ahead. This allows you to react in case of sudden danger.
- Keep your hands on the steering wheel: This helps maintain control and allows for quick reactions.
- Drive cautiously at intersections: Look all around the intersection before proceeding, especially when the light turns green, to avoid potential collisions.
- Give right of way to traffic in a roundabout: Yield to vehicles already circulating in a roundabout.
- Yield to pedestrians, especially those with canes: Always be extra cautious around pedestrians, particularly those with canes.
- Look well ahead in the direction you're driving: This helps you anticipate hazards and react promptly.
- Wear a lap and shoulder belt: This protects you from serious injuries during collisions.
- Be aware of the effects of alcohol on driving: Alcohol significantly impairs reaction time, judgment, and coordination.
- Be cautious of vehicles in your blind spots: Truck drivers have large blind spots; be aware of their presence and avoid driving close behind them.
- Be a safe driver: Always be mindful of other road users and drive defensively.
- Maintain your speed limit: Obey speed limits, especially around schools and residential areas.
- Be aware of slippery road conditions: Watch out for ice, snow, and wet surfaces, as they can cause your vehicle to skid.
- Look for warning signs: Paying attention to signs indicating hazards or construction zones can help you prepare for potential obstacles.
- Use turn signals: Use them correctly to indicate your intentions to other drivers.
- Use headlights appropriately: Activate headlights when visibility is low, especially during dusk, dawn, or night.
- Be aware of the dangers of speeding in residential areas: Children are more likely to cross roads without looking in these areas.
- Give right of way to buses stopped at bus stops: This allows passengers to safely cross the street.
- Slow down and proceed with caution when pulling out of a driveway: Yield to oncoming traffic before entering the road
- Maintain extra space when passing a motorcyclist, especially in strong winds: Strong gusts can push a motorcyclist into another lane.
- Use caution when driving in heavy winds: Wind can affect your vehicle's handling, especially if you're driving a larger vehicle.
- Be cautious when driving uphill behind a large truck: If the truck's engine stalls, it could roll backward.
- Pull over and activate hazard lights if your vehicle tire blows out: Avoid any sudden braking maneuvers.
- Never drive on the wrong side of a two-lane highway during a dangerous approach: This greatly increases the risk of a head-on collision.
- Be patient and courteous to other drivers: Avoid aggressive behaviors, such as honking or tailgating.
- Be responsible and avoid driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs: Always have a designated driver or use alternative transportation methods.
- Maintain regular vehicle maintenance: This ensures your vehicle's safety and proper functioning.
- Be aware of potential hazards during nighttime driving: Be extra cautious as visibility is reduced, and other drivers may not see you as well.
- Use hand signals when turn signals are not functioning correctly: This ensures clear communication with other drivers.
- Avoid tailgating large trucks: They have large blind spots, and this increases the risk of them not seeing your vehicle.
- Obey posted speed limits in work zones: Workers are present, and safety must be prioritized.
- Maintain a safe distance when parallel parking: Park at least 15 cm away from the curb to avoid damage.
- Be aware of hazards during heavy rain: Slippery roads and reduced visibility increase the risk of accidents.
- Use caution when passing through a roundabout: Always yield to oncoming traffic and follow the posted speed limit.
