Alertness

Alertness The best way to sum the first of the driving rules you must know up is simply using the word, alertness. You have to be alert at all times while driving. You have to keep your eyes on the road. Paying attention to other drivers and what goes on around you is very important. It’s up to you to avoid collisions by predicting what might happen and taking the steps to prevent it from happening. If a driver is speeding behind you, think ahead, switch lanes, and let him pass.

2

Avoid Road Rage

Avoid Road Rage My next advice is to avoid road rage. Don’t get in your car while you’re mad or upset. It’s very common to speed, pay less attention and put your life at risk. You need to drive with a clear mind and total concentration. If you get upset or angry while you’re driving, pull over, get a bite to eat or get a drink and cool off.

3

Keep Your Phone Far Away

Keep Your Phone Far Away Texting and driving is not only extremely frowned upon, but is now illegal. Teenagers tend to think they’re invincible and do it anyway. Texting at a stoplight or changing your music quickly is not okay either. This is where most collisions take place. Taking your eyes off the road for once second can take your or even someone else’s life away. Don’t do something you will regret and instead, place your phone somewhere out of reach, and place a CD or create a playlist so you don’t change tracks.

4

Don’t Drive under the Influence

Don’t Drive under the Influence You've heard it before but may underestimate the importance of this rule. Driving under the influence may ruin your life and someone else’s. One stupid decision will destroy your future or worse, get you killed. Think ahead and plan a way to get home or get around. Don’t get in a car with someone under the influence and do not let them drive. Have someone pick you up or call one of the organizations that offer to do so.

5

Eating

Eating Although this doesn't seem dangerous, it very well may be. Eating while driving is just as distracting as texting. You look down and pay less attention to the road. Instead, plan to eat before you get in your car, or pull over to eat if you have to. You must have full attention on the road and that means no distractions!

Wear a Seat Belt

Wear a Seat Belt There is absolutely no reason for anyone not to wear a seat belt. Avoid getting a ticket and hurting yourself at a potential collision. You will get a ticket for anyone who is in your car while you are driving and is not wearing a seat belt. It is your responsibility as a driver to make sure you and other passengers wear a seat belt.

7

Avoid Distractions

Avoid Distractions One of the main causes of collisions that can be fatal are due to distractions. Don’t put yourself in a position where you may be distracted while driving. Protect yourself and others in your car and make smart decisions before and while driving. Eat and drink before you drive, don’t drive under any medication or drugs, wear a seat belt, don’t use your phone for any reason, and pay full attention to the road. No one is “too cool” for these things and don’t think “this won’t happen to me!”

These are few of the driving rules you must know before and while driving. Please do yourself and others a favor, keep the streets as safe as you can and drive safe! There are too many stories of deaths and manslaughter for not following these rules! What are some rules you think are important to know before and while driving?
