Funny Accident in the car

Highway driving is not scary or something to be feared. Many new and seasoned drivers fear highway driving. In reality many drivers including myself find it easier than driving in congested urban areas with stop and go traffic or rural roads that have numerous blind turns and other hazards. Highway driving seems more disciplined and has fewer obstacles or variables such as pedestrians, traffic lights, cars running stop signs
through an intersection... Read on for some tips on how to drive safely on our highways and freeways.



One of the best things to start doing from day one is to look far ahead up the road as one drives. Many new drivers
tend to focus at what is directly in front of them and this is what can get you into trouble. Look further ahead and one will be able to read the road and traffic better. You'll also gain a wider perspective even if you can't really discern details clearly. You'll be surprised at what you will start to notice for example: a truck up ahead entering your lane from the right, a slower moving vehicle, your lane about to end/merge... You'll have more time to react since you are looking further ahead even if you can't see all the details clearly. DON'T WORRY ABOUT MAKING OUT EXTREME DETAILS--JUST LOOK!
Watch the cars ahead of you. If you see their brake lights go on assume that there may be something up ahead even if you can't make it out and slow down as well. Likewise, if you see all the cars ahead of you on your lane switching lanes it could be that your lane is about to end, but you haven't seen the merge sign yet or there is road construction up ahead... Always err on the side of caution.
