Good driving attitudes have been concerning me for long, i love to discuss it overhere,driving is one of urban surviving essentials nowadays.lets share some useful tips for being a courteous driver like using turing signals before truning with sufficient time,any other ideas?

ya i agree such topic is of a necessity to discuss,mmmm, maybe avoiding sudden lane swerving canbe another tip.

well,good knowledge of traffic and road signals,memorizing the signs meanings really helps much and avoids a lot of troubles.

Concentration guys,concentrating while driving is vital.Take care of intersections.

Patience, concentration, cautiousness and attentive are the key skills to focus on while driving. And it is also important to respect the law while we are on the wheels. Further we must realize that we also owns responsibility for the life of the people who are traveling with us.

I agree with all your posts about driving and proper driving attitudes,a lot of people have been suffering in the few past years from road accidents and road accidents victims have increased much too.

Well i think the first is being prepared --- Watch carefully what's happening on the road ahead of you so that you can be prepared to take evasive action if necessary to avoid an accident. A good rule of thumb is to be looking about one block ahead at city driving speeds and about one-fifth of a mile ahead at highway speeds.

then...keeping a safe distance --- Keep enough distance between your car and the one ahead of you so that you can always stop safely. Experts advise determining the safe distance by using the following method:

Watch the car ahead of you as it passes a reference point, such as a shadow on the highway.

Then count "one-thousand-one, one-thousand- two." If you pass the same spot before you finish counting, you're following too closely.

being aware of distracted drivers --- Be careful of drivers who are talking or looking frequently to the side since they may make sudden movements.

looking out for parked cars --- Observe cars parked along the roadway. They may not see you and might suddenly drive out in front of you. Or, they may open the car door into your path, or step out in front of your car.

keeping away from erratic drivers --- Stay out of the path of a car that is weaving --- the driver could be drunk or sleepy.

Any more ideas...?

First thing is our safety and we have to drive safely. And we have to observe the road carefully and drive.

Awareness is the key. Awareness is knowing what is going on around you in everything you do, not just driving a car. If you know what is happening around you, you are prepared to act to avoid the accident, avoid the bad guy coming up to you, or make sure you are ready for the storm that is coming.

Good post. Thank You.
