Safe Driving Tips

Within city limits drivers often focus their vision completely on the road neglecting the movements on the sides leading to accident. While skilled driving depends on the coordination of eyes  , hands and legs,  safe driving depends on the coordination of mind and eyes .  


My recommendation is that 70 % of our vision is to be focused on both sides of the road . This vision needs to be  analyzed constantly for identifying the slightest movement of anything on the side      . Remaining 30 % of the vision has to be focused on the road  . Judge the speed of vehicles in your front and always anticipate them to stop suddenly . Well,  how do we attain  this sort of synchronization of vision . Only through experience I would say . Analyze the movements of vehicles or pedestrians on the sides of the road and change your driving path or pace accordingly . Cut the acceleration once you anticipate an obstruction and let the vehicle move in its momentum . Accelerate again once you pass the anticipated obstruction . By doing so you could quickly respond to an emergency breaking need  . Practice by assuming your eyes to work as a scanner scanning from left to right and the road in front always . Once you practice this, later  you will do so involuntarily while driving .

Familiarize yourself with the breaking capabilities of the vehicle you drive .Never apply maximum force you could on the break pedals with an intention to stop immediately . Familiarize how you could apply break with out making the vehicle skid . This could save you on emergencies .  Develop the practice of putting indicator lights when ever you take a turn and also habbitize to look the rear view mirrors frequently especially any time you stop  . Safe driving is always dependant on logical thinking . Think wise and drive safely .
