Everyone always thinks it is other people on the road that they need to be concerned about, but why not start with yourself? If everyone could be a bit more conscientious behind the wheel and practice safe habits, it would make sense that accidents, road rage, and other unwanted driving problems would experience a downward trend. Aside from demonstrating car control proficiency and excellent decision-making skills in the driver’s seat, here are some simple guidelines that every driver should be aware of and abide by:

  1. Avoid tailgating.
  2. Stay at least three seconds behind the driver ahead of you.
  3. Don’t forget to use directional signals when making turns and changing lanes.
  4. Don’t hinder the traffic flow; if someone wants to get by, let them instead of making them trail you too closely.
  5. Follow the speed limit when conditions permit.
  6. Use your rearview and side mirrors to help you plan ahead for your next move.
  7. If you have the ambition to become a better driver than you currently are, consider enrolling in a defensive driving course.
