Hi
Everyone,
How
are you all?
You
may or may not know but I have been driving for a good few years now and when I
was in the police, I completed the police driving course. I was fully trained to
drive with blue light and sirens. So after lots of studying I think I know a
wee bit about driving so here are some top tips for my exercise.
Here
are my top driving tips.
1. Always get your car checked
regularly. From the tyre depth to the oil. This can all lead to major problems
if not caught early.
2. Road handing. I want
you to think about your tyres. Now your tires are your grip on the road keeping
you firmly in place. Each tire is only the width of a CD case! That is what is
holding you on the road.
3. One of the best things I
learnt on the driving course is to brake in to a corner and accelerate out. This
gives you the best control of the car on the road.
4. Harsh braking is for emergence's only!
5. Drive to what you can
see. Yes you drive that road every day of your life, you haven’t had a problem
yet but what if after that bend there is a broken down car? or worse a pedestrian
crossing unexpectedly?
6. Never take a risky over
take. Why would you risk your and other people’s lives for the sake of 10
seconds progression on the road?
7. Never brake harshly on
a wet road this will cause a skid at the lease and a crash at worst.
8. If you get in to a skid
try to remember to steer in the direction of the skid never against it.
9. NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE. This
go’s for drugs too!!!
10. Seat belts save life’s. I have seen this many times where people wouldn’t
be with us without this lifesaving safety item.
11. Unsafe speeds are for track day and trained emergency service personnel
not for being a idiot and trying to work on time. Your boss would rather you
lived to get to work than made it on time.
12. If weather conditions are bad and you don’t feel confident and
comfortable then don’t drive. Use a train or bus or have a snow day? Never feel
pressured in to driving.
13. Driving in snow is tricky and smaller cars handle better unless
you have a land rover or snow tyres.
14. New and learning drivers. Give them space you had to learn to
and I bet you didn’t jump in to the learner car and be a competent driver. Be courteous.
15. Be courteous. What goes around comes round. Let a car out if you
can. The unofficial rule at a round a
bout of junction is let one car in if everyone does this then we will all get
there quicker. If you are causing a que of traffic pull over and let the cars
passed. Did you know this is an offence if you don’t?
16. NEVER text or call and drive. Come on people pull over if you are texting how can you be concentrating on the road??
Well I hope this has helped you and you found some tips you
didn’t know. If you would like more posts like this let me know.
