HABITS AND TECHNIQUES OF A GOOD DRIVER :

1) He always keeps his vehicle in good condition by : Observing regular engine check-up Observing change of engine oil Monitoring regularly the engines under parts Monitoring regularly the vehicles electrical system Monitoring regularly the wheels alignment and balance.

THE SAFETY SPACE INFRONT IS THE EASIEST ONE FOR YOU TO CONTROL. YOU CAN ADJUST THE GAP BETWEEN YOURSELF AND THE VEHICLE INFRONT BY SIMPLY VARYING YOUR SPEED.

AVOID TAILGAITING STAYING TOO CLOSE TO A VEHICLE LEAVES NO SPACE TO MANUEVER IT LIMITS YOU TO BRAKE WHEN THINGS BEGIN TO STACK UP IN THE LANE AHEAD. AT A 20 KPH, MAINTAIN A ONE CAR-LENGTH DISTANCE WHEN FOLLOWING A CAR. THIS WILL GIVE YOU ADEQUATE SPACE AND TIME TO REACT AND TO STOP SAFELY IF NECESSARY.
