Driving can be smooth, calm and predictable, but impatience and frustration often get in the way. From road rage to peer pressure for young drivers, there are so many things that influence an overall driving style. But if you\u2019re eager to start driving more safely, you\u2019ll need to start fine-tuning your overall technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-90c8fd8db234e5abba404585eef4ab76 wp-block-paragraph\">Safe driving starts with consistency in the following areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ce297e5d57086845f448b0de270abac8\"><strong>Safe following distance<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0abe839eef40c84328a4c3e434034773 wp-block-paragraph\">Always try to follow the \u2018tyres and tarmac\u2019 rule when you\u2019re queueing or approaching slow-moving traffic. On a motorway, keep two chevrons between you and the vehicle in front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b66ba4981cd0beb33d28d39329c0dcc8\"><strong>Anticipating hazards in advance<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-bb4bb23319b77dc85d88dd3c453ecfac wp-block-paragraph\">Braking last-minute is not only hard on your car but also makes the roads more dangerous for everyone. Always check the horizon and try to drive with prevention in mind, not reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8e7a2e058f3bf697e5840a6e957e256e\"><strong>Gradual braking and steady acceleration<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-18e26f19ec14b0b8eae224c5375fa205 wp-block-paragraph\">If you brake harshly and accelerate heavily, you\u2019ll not only be putting more strain on your car but also putting other road users at risk. You can improve your safety and the longevity of your car with gentle driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-10ba2b0ab08214142f2895f41ca61741\"><strong>Full focus<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-cc5bce87ae462fcab90f2bffb7779726 wp-block-paragraph\">Every driver should try to minimise distractions behind the wheel. Nearly two-thirds of drivers make mistakes due to distractions either inside or outside the car, so remember to keep your eyes on the roads. If your passengers are distracting you, don\u2019t be afraid to let them know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1796c2ddf9c65b52b5aadf4a9f5e7ae2\"><strong>Adaptive speed<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9a240bce390c561ff0be44604d77231a wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t just blindly stick to (or aim for) the maximum speed limit. It\u2019s only there as a guide, and you should always try to base your speed around the conditions of the road, traffic and weather on the day. If it\u2019s raining heavily, drive cautiously!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8258cbabcdfabf684458d7650bb3538e\"><strong>Proper maintenance<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f6c691a508b025a8750349f6bace6745 wp-block-paragraph\">Driving a neglected car could be an accident waiting to happen. Along with servicing your car regularly, you should arrange repairs on any issues flagged on its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/check-mot-history\">annual MOT test<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-47364c48f49dcf19f258b4706ffeb7ed\"><strong>Checking blind spots<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many accidents happen in unfortunate circumstances where drivers failed to check over their shoulders. This vital manoeuvre takes only seconds but could make the difference between a safe arrival and a serious accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a867f19f5e9abae0eca1d426b79ac492\"><strong>Patience<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-60740f1a54a67cd650c14d1148c5703b wp-block-paragraph\">Staying calm allows you to concentrate and make rational decisions behind the wheel. This is imperative for any drive, but especially those at rush hour and through built-up areas. If you struggle with impulsive behaviour, using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hastingsdirect.com\/car-insurance\/telematics-insurance\/\">telematics insurance could help you to drive sensibly<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d527afc637b46836318b99aa12ca78b5\"><strong>Knowing your limits<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d9b84b38aa141ef6ada291f6813c846d wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re too tired or upset to drive, you should be able to recognise this and take some forced time away from the wheel. According to the road safety charity Brake, up to one-fifth of all crashes are estimated to be caused by driver fatigue. Take breaks and drink the coffee!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-60a7832f0d012584e36cd40a3a1f7aec wp-block-paragraph\"><br \/><strong>10.<\/strong> <strong>Embracing in-car technology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3a22069c7f8286ee7ce2182129565d3f wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, make sure you use any helpful gadgets to stay safer on the roads. These include sat-navs, handsfree devices and info-entertainment systems to keep aware of the latest traffic and road conditions updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3544754e3e1fdf6658cdb7fd89485ed2 wp-block-paragraph\">Driving safely is a daily choice. From changing gear to simply knowing when to stop, the smaller steps always contribute to the bigger picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f156291a29f73e5e97972a8f9a59ad60 wp-block-paragraph\">If you enjoyed reading A<em>re You a Safe Driver? 10 Habits That Actually Make a Difference<\/em>, then why not read <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/your-body-is-a-templespa-so-love-it-back\/\">Y<em>our Body Is A Templespa here<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ee74bf0e8c474f944776125d1feeccfd wp-block-paragraph\">.cent Magazine London. <strong><em>Luxury Mindset<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Behind the wheel, your everyday habits make the most influential difference when it comes to your safety.
