How to Avoid Car Accident
A large amount of people die each year in car accidents. Mostly, these accidents occur as a result of an error of one driver overtaking the other vehicle, or driving the car too fast. The additional factors like terrible state of the road, mountainous regions, slippery road, or snow falls etc also contribute a huge deal in causing accidents. Here are a number of tips which everyone should follow in order to steer clear of accidents.
Avoid the "fast lane."
Always use right or centre lane as it allows you the option of escape routes when you have to alter the lanes fast. History is obvious that the majority of highway accidents happen in left lane. Additionally, if you are in the" fast lane" you will be more obvious to highway patrol.
Keep your eyes scanning the area ahead.
It is always smart to be aware of the area in front of the car right ahead of you. This way it will be possible to predict any issues, and would have enough time to respond in case you have to apply brakes all of a sudden. This may help you in preventing a car accident by hitting the car in front of you
Beware of blind spots.
Side mirrors and rearview mirrors should be adjusted properly to view the traffic behind you, but you should not totally rely on them. It is advisable to look directly into the lanes beside you. Take into consideration the blind spots for other drivers around.
Drive with your hands in the 9 and 3 o'clock position.
It has been seen that many people drive with one hand at 12 o' clock position, or their hands rest at the bottom of the steering wheel. This is a lazy way of driving and not recommended at all. The 9 and 3 o'clock position gives you maximum vehicle control.
Get racecar driver control of the wheel.
You will have improved control over your car if you shift your seat close to steering wheel. In this place, your back rests alongside the seat and your arms are outspread. This is healthy for your arms as they will not get weary, and you have lot of time for any preventive measure.
Judge a driver by his/her car's condition.
Get away from the person whose car's body is damaged or dirty. This is the sign of inattentive driver. Also be aware of the person's who are drifting in the lane; they are most likely drunk or cell phone-preoccupied drivers.
The nighttime is not the right time.
Some people prefer to drive at night to avoid traffic, but many times it is more dangerous than driving at the day time. Increase fatigue and blurry vision at night requires more careful driving. You may also encounter joyriding teens or drunken people driving at this time. Also, you have to be more careful at midnight when people are coming from parties or sports arenas.
Driving is not a lazy activity; it's an exercise of self-control and self-protection. All above mentioned tips are not perfect ways which could stop a car accident, but still you can use them in order to lessen any unanticipated risks and in addition to stay away from any blunders leading to an accident because of your fault. - 2368
