Side
Mirrors - When you are
positioning the side mirrors, you need to be able to see more of the
road than your vehicle. When you place the mirrors a little more
outwards, you don't lose visibility as to what's behind you, you gain
visibility to what is beside your vehicle.
Passing
lanes - Slower traffic usually
stays to the right lanes. If you are driving slow in the passing
lane, it can create traffic jams and causes more bad driving
behaviour. Driving slow in the passing lane can have negative effects
on emergency responses, aggressive driving and effects on traffic.
Signaling
– Whether a signal is not
used when turning or changing lanes or a signal is forgotten on and
keeps blinking, it is a dangerous driving hazard. Signals are your
only way of communication with over vehicles and is vital for safety
on the road. Bicyclists and pedestrians included.
Cell
Phones - No matter how
confident you are in your ability to drive and text, you should NOT
do it. Looking away at the road for even 1 second can have serious
repercussions. The person in front of you could have hit their
brakes, and if you weren't looking you would rear end them. It only
takes 1 second!
