It is wonderful to own a car, but driving is one passion which, if not pursued with caution, can lead to fatal consequences. Driving requires some safety measures, and here are some tips that will help you to keep yourself and others safe while out there on the road.

• Control Speed Limit: There is a reason that there are speed limit signs on certain roads and you get a ticket if you exceed it- your own safety. Speeding is responsible for the maximum number of accidents. There is no need to overtake another car just to show off your driving skills. Set out with ample time on your hands before you have an appointment to keep so that you don’t have to end up speeding.

• Avoid Taking Calls: Talking on the phone while driving can be very distracting and the cell phone is a bane in this regard. Of course, there are Bluetooth sets available, but the very act of talking can be distracting – your mind tends to drift from the road rules as you think about the matter being discussed. Similarly, avoid very loud music in the cars, they can also create a very distracting atmosphere.

• Car Checking: Another reason for accidents is poor car maintenance. It is essential that you always keep your car in good working order and get it checked regularly by a known automotive repair shop. It is essential that you have a professional take a look because certain anomalies might not be noticed by a layman. Instances of frequent break downs in the middle of nowhere will reduce drastically once the car is checked. You will also be able to detect certain flaws in the car’s mechanism that could have later caused bigger problems.

• Install Fog Lights: Snow and fogs can play havoc with driving conditions and yet there are situations when you just have to be somewhere. Install proper headlights and fog lights and use them wisely. Also, the roads tend to be slippery at such times and so you should maintain safe distance with other cars while driving so that your car does not skid and crash into them if they brake too suddenly.

• Drive with Fresh Mind: Avoid driving if you are too tired or sleep deprived. Being drowsy while at the wheel is almost as bad as driving in a drunken state. Be sure to rest yourself before you take the wheel and hit the road.
