Driving is a everyday challenged, we don't know what will happen, we are not alone in the street, our character is not the same, there a fast driving driver and slow driving driver, we drive carefully but the other is not, they are the one who put you in accident.
I been driving for almost 23 years, i was studded in one well-known driving school for just 5 hours, one hour everyday, in 5 days at my spare time, my father know how to drive and i can say he is a good driver, i ask him to teach me to drive but he refused, when i start to work i studded to drive.
I remember when i was a little boy i always ask myself every time i saw a car entered in a narrow way of tall plaza, i wondered how the driver get in that without hitting the side of the cashier's boot, one time, i tried it using a bike, i take a bike in the rice field where there is a very narrow way, i found out that it's because of calculation and anticipation why the driver do that.
When i was new in driving i was very happy, mostly when we are in the long travel, i run for 120 kph, it good feeling, like you are flying, I'm happy i learned to drive, but when the first accident happened to me, i got nervous, I'm just new, so, i don't know what to do, i thought the police will bring me to jail, and pay the damages. but i learned there is a insurance the will pay the damages, so every time i get involve in car accident, i always say let the insurance handle it. but of course I'm very careful now in driving.
We cannot avoid the accident, but we can prevented it, like I say, we are not alone in the street, our way of thinking is not the same with other driver, there are reckless driver, sometime they cut you or pinned you in the side, if you encounter this driver just let him go, he might out of his mind, some driver bring there problem in driving, this kind of people cause you an accident .
Good driver is a driver that knowledgeable, knowledge come from experience, ability to recognized hazard and how to protect from these hazard, a Driver knows safe driving, not like the who has no experience, they got nervous when they get involve in accident, they don't know what to do. like me at first.
Safe driving means driving carefully, carefully get in and get out in any traffic situation, always in the right lane and many other to be consider in safe driving, obey all traffic rules and regulation, ignorance of the law is not valid if you caught in accident.
A slight error in driving could be cause of accident, we must need more knowledge and skill, techniques in good and safe driving, we must always have a presence of mind to avoid collision, we always think distance, alertness, patience, right speed and courteous to other will prevent us from trouble.
A proper attitude is important in safe driving. Today, there is already speed limit in every street of every city, if you over speeding, the authority will get you.
Don't Drive too close ahead of you, if the car ahead of you stop suddenly, you have no chance to maneuver or get out and if you're not lucky you might also hit his back,
Maintained a one car distances, do not over confidence that you can stop at a right time, what if your break stock,
You must know your breaking distance, so that you can stop smoothly not like a horse.
Overtaking, think twice before you overtake and must be at the right place and speed,
It happen to me one time, i overtake in the left innermost lane, but the car in my right sound to be racing with me, he didn't give me a way, here comes a truck! a head-on collision! Thanks God, the truck has passed in the pavement to give a way for me, i was terrified that will be my last if the truck hit me, it's wrong timing and speed and also over confidence, i underestimated the speed of the car.
Have a peace of mind while driving your emotion can affect in you driving it cause lose of alertness,
Have a good health and condition, proper sleep, it hard to drive when you are sleepy it cause accident when got sleep while driving, don't drive drunk and don't use cellphone.
There is two kind of driving defensive driving and offensive driving.
Defensive driving is a kind of driving without having accident means safety driving observance of all traffic rules and regulation, always in the right ways and have courtesy to other to prevent accident, alert in driving error, decide, adjust immediately in error, so, that the accident will be prevented.
Offensive driving simply as open to the accident and trouble, its mostly applied to police and security escort, they follow the rule and regulation, but in some condition they disregard it, they priorities the time and safety of their VIP, they are always in a hurry, no speed limit, overtaking if there is a chance, They always found trouble with other driver. Its not applicable if you care for your car as well as your life. they do this for the VIP to reach immediately the place where he is going, longer exposure in the street more time risking his life from bad element, they applied both defensive and offensive driving.
In driving you have to be prepared, its natural to get involve in accident but if you know what to do, you can prevent it or lessen the damage.
Following traffic rules and regulation is a best prevention from driving trouble.
