Did you know you can have custom colored seat belt webbing?

If you have a driver’s license, you likely think that you no longer need to learn about driving. However, this is far from the truth. While the driving more frequently will give you practice, there are also factors you can incorporate to become a better driver.

Being alert is the key to becoming a better driver. Looking as far ahead as you can down the road can keep you informed of traffic and road information. When you are looking, make sure you scan instead of staring. By shifting your eyes frequently while driving, you can locate hazards and be actively engaged. Conversely, staring can be quite dangerous while driving.  Make sure you are actively looking while driving and you have a full picture of hazards. This will give you time to prepare in case of an accident.

Being alert is key to improving your driving. Consider not driving when your alertness is compromised. Sure, we all know not to drive drunk or text and drive, but sleep deprivation can be just as dangerous. If you are sleepy, you may miss hazards. Additionally, your reaction to situations slow down. Therefore, it is always a good idea to kip the drive if you are lethargic.

While no one expects an accident, it is a good idea to always plan for an accident. First, maintain a good distance between yourself and the car in front of you. If you are being tailgated, let the car near you pass.  Always give yourself an out by surrounding yourself with space not only in front, but on the side. This will give you room to swerve if necessary.

Make sure other drivers can see you when you drive. This means that your headlights, taillights, horn should always be in good working order.  You should also make sure other parts of your vehicle are maintained properly.
