Daily driving safety precautions are as follows: Develop the habit of fastening seat belts when getting in the car: The importance of seat belts for driving safety is self-evident. Many bloody examples have warned people that seat belts must be fastened when entering the car. However, there are always some people who feel that seat belts restrict their activity space or even find them uncomfortable and therefore do not wear them. Such behavior must be firmly resisted. Make sure the car door is tightly closed when driving: For female drivers, it is not uncommon for car doors to be not tightly closed—since female drivers generally use less force to close doors compared to male drivers, sometimes the door may not be securely closed. In the event of an accident, a loosely closed door may lead to fatal consequences, just like the female driver in the aforementioned accident. If you are not sure whether the door is tightly closed, do not hesitate to reopen it and close it again with more force. For vehicles equipped with a door-open reminder function, pay attention to whether there is an alarm sound or whether a warning light is illuminated on the dashboard. It is recommended that everyone develop the habit of locking the doors after closing them. Because if the door is not tightly closed, it cannot be locked. Once the door is locked, you no longer need to worry about whether it is tightly closed.

Before driving every day, I habitually check the vehicle details to ensure safety. First, I check if the tire pressure meets the standard by pressing them to feel the firmness; then I test the brake response by stepping on it; I turn on the lights to see if they work, especially the headlights and taillights; and I lift the hood to check if the oil and coolant levels are normal. These small checks may only take a few minutes but can prevent major problems. Low tire pressure can easily lead to a blowout and also increases fuel consumption; if the brake response is slow, accidents may occur in emergencies. I also spend a little extra time each week to thoroughly check for loose chassis screws or battery connections to ensure stability. Since developing this habit, my car has had no breakdowns, making driving more reassuring, even on long trips. Additionally, I recommend regularly replacing tires and brake pads and following the manual for maintenance to extend the vehicle's lifespan—safety first to avoid accidents.

During driving, my safety focus is on self-discipline. I always fasten my seatbelt and require everyone in the car to do the same; speed control is strict, especially in rainy weather or busy urban areas where I never exceed the speed limit; maintaining a safe distance of at least two car lengths to allow ample reaction time. I firmly avoid touching my phone while driving, including hands-free calls, due to the high risk of distraction; before changing lanes, I always signal and check blind spots via the rearview mirror. At intersections, I carefully observe traffic light changes and pedestrian movements to avoid accidents caused by blind spots. These simple and reliable habits, accumulated over time, can significantly reduce risks. I also remind myself to review traffic rule updates monthly, such as newly established school speed zones, to adapt to changes. Adhering to these practices makes every trip more stable, and friends often say I'm a reliable driver.

I have a set of safety strategies to cope with weather changes. In rainy conditions, slow down and maintain a longer braking distance due to slippery roads; turn on low beams to enhance visibility; set the wipers to maximum frequency to ensure clear vision. In foggy weather, use fog lights instead of high beams to avoid reflection and poor visibility; maintain a steady speed and navigate by following roadside markings to stay on course. In winter, defrost the car windows inside and out before driving; check if the tire tread depth is sufficient for traction on snow to prevent skidding. During traffic congestion, queue patiently to avoid sudden lane changes or impatient honking that may provoke others. Anticipate potential hazards such as waterlogged areas by slowing down in advance to reduce the risk of hydroplaning. These practices ensure my safe arrival home under adverse conditions.
