10 commandments for the driver

  Love your neighbor as yourself!

Treat other road users - drivers, pedestrians, motorcyclists, cyclists  etc. the way you would like them to treat you! Do not try to teach anyone, their life itself  to teach.

​

Always be predictable!

Try to drive the car so that your actions are never unexpected for other drivers and pedestrians. This means: turn on the turn signals in time,  do not maneuver  unnecessarily from row to row. Do not make sudden sharp turns of the steering wheel and do not brake too sharply. Do not rush through all the lanes from the left row, to the right and from right to left.

​

In any unclear situation, slow down!

When the behavior of another driver is not very clear to you - reduce speed. If the driver is driving in front of yours  the car is rebuilt from row to row, makes risky overtaking, beeps for no reason, brakes sharply - stay away from it.

​

Braking distance is a relative concept!

In the first case, it is the time that has elapsed from the moment the driver noticed the obstacle to the moment when he began to take the necessary action ... In the second - the distance traveled by the vehicle from the moment of depressing the brake pedal to its complete stop.

​

​

Even a dry road can be slippery!

Slippery is a dry road on which liquid was spilled, grain or small rubble was scattered, on which a lot of fallen  leaves, it's wet cobblestones, it's finally the road is covered with ice! When driving on such slippery areas, you need to use the steering wheel, accelerator pedal and brake and clutch pedal very smoothly, otherwise the car will lose control and go into a skid.

​

There are no absolute values of safe speed!

It can be a perfectly safe speed of 150 kilometers per hour on the highway and be a very dangerous speed of 30 kilometers per hour in fog and ice. It is important to react quickly to changing road conditions. To the lane  the fog in the lowlands needs to be approached at a minimum speed. Otherwise, dozens of cars collide.

​

Stay cheerful!

Monotonous riding has a hypnotic effect. From time to time change the pace of movement, make stops for rest. The monotonous road dulls the attention and lulls. Periodically change the pace of movement, turn on energetic music, sing songs, chew gum - it dispels drowsiness. Tired - stop for five minutes, do a vigorous workout  and cheerful again on the road.

​

Keep your distance!

Always try to keep such a distance to resort to brakes only as a last resort. Maintaining a safe distance in front of a driving car  ahead,  timely reducing speed  the engine can use brakes much less often.

​

Gently, but firmly!

Hold the steering wheel without tension, but always with both hands. This allows you to drive without much effort and respond instantly to changing road conditions. If you hold the steering wheel with one hand, the car can be thrown off the road in the event of a tire explosion or a deep pothole. You can slightly change the position of the hands on the steering wheel, but you should always hold the steering wheel with both hands.

​

​

Pass the SDA exam yourself, without the help of "friends"!

  The knowledge gained while studying at a driving school will save you money and save your life and health. I took this responsibly.
