Driving Safely Is Always Possible


Driving Safely Is Always Possible

Terry Brown
May 16, 2006

Who says that driving safely is impossible? Well, it is always possible as long as you follow rules and you obey them carefully. Only those who do not follow them are the ones who often end up in a ditch or in a hospital. Of course, nobody wants to get into trouble or meet any kind of harm, that is why it is important that you do any safety precautions so that you would not suffer from any kind of accident.

Before you drive your car out of your garage or driveway, do a simple safety check first. You should turn on all the lights on your vehicle. Then, get out of your vehicle and walk around it. Check and see if all the lights are working. You should also check your blinkers if they are still working fine. While you are checking your lights, use this opportunity to also look for any kind of leaks in your vehicle. Your tires should also be checked if they have been properly inflated.

Now, when you get behind the wheel, it is time to adjust all mirrors and seats. Do this before you put the key in the ignition. The basics of adjusting the left mirror is to actually place your head against the left window. Then, you have to adjust the mirror so that you can see the left side of the car. As per the right mirror, move your head towards the center of the vehicle then adjust the mirror in the same way. And yes, do not forget to put on your seatbelts.

On the road, when you approach a stop light, be sure that you actually stop your car. Now, before you actually proceed and drive to your destination, make sure that you check all sides of the road. Look to your left, to your right, and straight ahead before you go on and drive.
