How to Evade Car Accident

By David Halbert

Life is very unpredictable; we don't know what will be going to happen next. Car accidents are so common nowadays due to so many reasons. The most accidents occur because of over-speeding and overtaking. Nevertheless, there are other factors like bad road conditions, foggy and rainy weather etc. There are also many accidents occur because drivers do not follow the traffic rules and regulations. It is our moral duty to abide by the traffic laws and save ourselves and others from any mishap. Below are some of the tips that should be followed to avoid car accidents.

A driver should choose the right and centre lane for driving; it is essential when you need to change lanes quickly in any case. Left lane should always be avoided; statistics show that most highway accidents take place in left lane. "Fast-lane" must be avoided to remain unnoticeable from the highway patrol.

Scanning the area ahead of any car you are behind at is always advisable. You could clearly foresee any danger well before time and this would give you plenty of time to react in case the car ahead applies the sudden brakes.

Side mirrors and rear view mirrors are the eyes of your motor vehicle. If you have fixed them right; the probability is that you will never encounter an accident. On the other hand, you should not utterly rely on them and should look straight into the lanes beside you. Be cautious of the blind spots; the spots not in range of your mirrors.

Car driving is by no means a lazy activity; you should be very alert and active while driving. One hand at 12 o' clock position is not suggested in any case. The 9 and 3 o' clock placement of the hand is very much recommended as it gives you maximum control over the vehicle.

Your car seat should be close to the steering wheel to provide you superior control over it. This position is recommended as you get utmost ease of back and arms. Your back and arms do not get exhausted in this position and you also have greatest time for any elusive manoeuvre.

Appearances are often deceptive but not in case if you find a car damaged or dirty. These are warning signs of inattentive drivers. When you find drivers drifting in the lane; beware of them as they might be drunk or cell phone-preoccupied.

Night time driving is very dangerous though some people prefer it because the roads are not crowded. In fact night time driving is most dangerous than the driving at any time of the day. Thinking that there will be no much traffic, many teens have fun with joyriding. There are chances you could encounter a drunken person driving at night; the person definitely will have blurry vision and not completely in senses.

Exercise in self-control, self-protection and self-preservation is what every driver should remember while driving. Never put your eyes off the road for a single moment. Your one silly mistake can be the repent of your life. The above mentioned tips are never a sure fire to avoid accidents but following them does give you maximum safety and protection. - 21393
