How To Stay Safe As A Driver

Drivers have a responsibility to be extra safe when on the road. After all, other road users such as cyclists, horse riders and motorcyclists will always come off worse in a crash.

Here are some simple tips to stay safe on the road:

• Always ensure that you watch your speed and do not exceed the limit.
• Never drive and use your mobile phone at the same time. This puts you at risk of being distracted, increasing the chance of a crash.
• Simple but effective; wear your seat belt at all times. This should be the first thing you do when you get in your car.

What makes these rules even more important is the fact that if you do not comply with them, you will be breaking the law. Legal consequences will be implemented to anyone who commits a crime by acting against these rules, which are designed to keep everyone safe.

Other than the legal rules of the road, there are other rules, which you should follow. These are moral rules and simply make the roads safer:

• Drive considerately - try to sympathise with other drivers and be courteous when you can e.g. merging in turn.
• Be patient - give other drivers room and time. Also, give pedestrians time to cross the road and do not approach crossings at a fast pace.
• Concentrate on your driving - do not let anything distract you while you are driving. If you listen to music in your car but find that it takes your mind off driving and causes you to make mistakes, it would be safer to turn it off.
• Accept that you will encounter different road users - not all drivers are in the same mindset as you. Not all drivers share the same little habits and ways of doing things; remember to be accepting of others. There will also be pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders who need to be taken into consideration too.
• Expect the unexpected - you never know what is going to happen when driving, especially when it is dark. People may be walking around with dark clothes on at night time. You should be driving at a sensible speed in case they attempt to cross the road.

It is easier than you think to be in a car accident, so please take note of all these tips and rules to protect yourself and others.
