What are the driving safety precautions?

Driver safety precautions are as follows: 1. Suburban roads: There are many intersections, so be alert for motorcycles or bicycles suddenly appearing from intersections. Avoid driving too close to the right boundary of the road, leaving sufficient safety distance. 2. When there are pedestrians (especially elderly or children), always maintain high vigilance, keep a safe distance, and control your speed. 3. Urban roads: With numerous vehicles and traffic lights, practice courteous driving and avoid lane cutting. Familiarize yourself with intersections in advance and enter the lane division line early. When passing stopped vehicles (especially buses), watch out for people crossing the road from the front of the vehicle. 4. When an object on the left front obstructs your view, remain highly alert and reduce speed. When making a right turn, always observe the right rearview mirror in advance to ensure safety. If vehicles or pedestrians are too close, slow down and wait for them to pass before turning right. 5. For long-distance driving, take targeted preventive measures based on the route or regional climate characteristics. Conduct regular vehicle checks during the journey and arrange rest periods properly to prevent fatigue driving. Drivers should ensure adequate sleep. If experiencing blurred vision, slow brain response, or weakened perception during the trip, stop immediately to rest and resume driving only after recovering. 6. Drivers should regulate their emotions and physical condition, enhancing self-discipline and control. Face various climate changes calmly, handle each situation properly, and always prioritize safety. Remember the regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law, maintain moderate speed, and when encountering muddy roads or soft ground, either pass slowly with proper operation or avoid driving too close to the roadside, decelerate in advance, yield to others, and practice the 'three-first' courtesy principle.
I've been driving for decades, and the core of safe driving is habit formation. Checking the vehicle condition before getting in is crucial: tire pressure, wear, and lights must all be in good condition, otherwise the risk of accidents on the road increases. After starting, fasten the seatbelt, adjust the rearview mirror to avoid blind spots. Stay focused while driving—don't touch the phone, as distraction is a common cause of accidents. Maintain a safe following distance, using the 2-second rule on highways. Control your speed, avoid speeding, and be extra cautious in residential areas. Reduce speed by half in rain or snow, and use wipers to defog. Turn on lights earlier at night, and avoid dazzling others with high beams. In emergencies like a flat tire, don't slam the brakes—hold the steering steady and pull over. Regularly maintain your car and keep an emergency kit in the vehicle with water and a warning triangle—prevention is key.
