Drive at the speed limit

Speed limits are there for a reason guys! From the moment you pass your test and start to get used to your own driving style you can end up creeping up the speed you drive ever so slightly until you are sitting slightly over the speed limit. If you want to ensure the safety of people around you and your family, stick to the limit which are specified on the roads.

Find the right size car for you

Cars can be the most fun part of passing your driving test because once you have got your licence in the bag you have the potential to buy so many different types of car! When you first start driving, and even as you become more experienced you need to think about the model of car which suits you and your needs. The big kid in us all want to buy big sports cars, but most of the time it just isn’t practical for your daily commute. For safety, make sure you choose a car which you are comfortable driving and one which fits the purpose you need it for.

Avoid harsh conditions

One of the things which can really be an issue for drivers everywhere is harsh weather conditions on the road. The road is a dangerous place throughout the year but as we come into winter and the weather is more unpredictable it can be incredibly dangerous. Water on the road can cause aquaplaning, snow can cause a loss of control and the need for a dui lawyer, and dark nights can make visibility low and this can be the cause of many accidents. Make sure you try to avoid harsh conditions as much as you possibly can in your life, and if you do have to drive in them, be careful.

Stay alert

We all know that the road is a place where many manner of drivers make their way to work and get on with their lives each day. Being on the road with lots of other people can increase the risk of accident because there are people with various levels of skill in driving on the road. If you want to stay safe and keep your car undamaged, you need to make sure that you always stay alert, keep your eyes on the road and notice what is going on around you. Even if other people are texting while driving, you will be able to avoid accidents by staying alert and seeing what is going on.
