Driving is not only an necessary skill for working, but sometimes is also an exciting way to relax yourself, especially when you are driving your new high-level Lexus on your way for holiday camping.
Do make sure that you are driving safely, or your holidays may come to a nightmare. There are several tips, actually, for you to set up some right habits to drive.
I used to download an anticle about safe drivings(sorry can’t remide the websites address for is article), and in which the writter picked out several things need to be taken care of. In this article ,there were 15 tips that we need to be aware…
Tip #1: Seat Belts
80% of people who are involved in a crash and do not wear a seat belt are injured or killed.
Tip #2: Head Restraints
70% of all injuries in crashes are soft tissue injuries to the neck and back.
A head restraint helps reduce soft tissue injuries to the neck and back. It prevents your head and neck from hyper- extending if you are hit from behind.Tip #3: Anti-lock braking systems
ABS allows you to steer around an object even with maximum braking.
Tip #4: Air Bags
Air bags deploy at a speed of up to 300km/hr.
Air bags, when used with your seat belt, provide the best protection in a frontal crash, but they need an average of 10 inches of space to inflate.
Tip #5: Child Seats
Over 50% of the child seats inspected at BCAA Traffic Safety Foundation/ICBC child seat check events are installed or used incorrectly.
Tip #6: Summer Vehicle Maintenance
BCAA attended over 500,000 vehicles due to unexpected mechanical breakdowns in 2000.
Tip #7: Winter Vehicle Maintenance
Road risks increase by up to 15 times during snow conditions.
Tip #8: Controlled Intersections
50% of all crashes in BC happen at intersections.
Tip #9: Uncontrolled Intersections
22% of motor vehicle injuries are due to failure to yield “right of way”.
Intersections with no signals or signs are called “courtesy corners”. These are often in residential areas where pedestrians are crossing or children are playing.
Tip #10: Stopping at Intersections
Simple tips for stopping safely at intersections.
Tip #11: Aggressive Driving
About 73% of victims injured in unsafe speed related collisions were in vehicles travelling at unsafe speeds.
Tip #12: Impaired Driving
Over 100 people are killed each year in BC where alcohol was involved.
About 24% of traffic deaths in BC involve impaired driving.Anything that decreases your ability to judge the situation around you and to react appropriately is dangerous, whether it’s alcohol or prescription drugs.
Tip #13: Night Driving
To avoid blinding other drivers, dim your high beam headlights when you are 150 metres from meeting or following a vehicle.Driving at night is a challenge – your vision is limited and your reactions may be delayed due to fatigue.
Tip #14: Fatigue
Approximately 39% of motor vehicle injuries are a result of driving without due care.Don’t get caught falling asleep at the wheel – it could be fatal
Tip #15: Mature DriversDrivers over 60 are two to ten times more likely to be in an intersection crash than drivers in their 40’s.
Increased traffic volumes, more complex road networks and new vehicle features place more demands than ever on your driving skills and attention.!
Tip # 16: Car Insurance
The most important one, which I am proposing. It is an insurance against loss due to theft or traffic accidents. No matter what kind of car you are driving, this is the only way to make up someting for anyone involved in the accidents or crashes. Do remember, before you press the “star” button of your lexus, make sure that you have already got the Car Insurance for it.
