During driving, it is important to adjust the seat and rearview mirror positions, release the handbrake, and avoid coasting in neutral at high speeds. The following are the precautions during driving: 1. Adjust the seat and rearview mirror positions: Seat adjustment is for comfort and safety. Rearview mirror adjustment is to eliminate blind spots. The rearview mirror should not only show the traffic conditions behind and on both sides of the vehicle but also appropriately reflect the vehicle itself. This can be more beneficial for reversing and parking. 2. Release the handbrake: Beginners often make the mistake of forgetting to release the handbrake when starting the car cold. It is recommended that beginners develop the good habit of "releasing the handbrake as soon as the car moves" to avoid vehicle damage and personal distress. 3. Avoid coasting in neutral at high speeds: A car maintenance expert once said that the braking distance when coasting in neutral at low speeds is not much different from that when in gear. Some experienced drivers coast in neutral not to save fuel but to prevent the vehicle from stalling. New drivers should reasonably learn and distinguish between different driving habits.
As a commuter who drives to work daily, I believe driving precautions should start with basic safety. First, always buckle up your seatbelt upon entering the car—it's no trivial matter and can protect you in case of a collision. Maintain a safe following distance: at least a two-second gap in urban areas, extended further on highways to prevent rear-end collisions. Avoid using phones or getting distracted; stay focused, observe road conditions, and especially check blind spots when changing lanes while using turn signals. In poor weather conditions like rain or heavy fog, slow down and turn on your lights. Regularly inspect your vehicle—keep tire pressure neither too high nor too low, ensure proper oil levels to avoid breakdowns. Fatigue driving is a major no-no; take breaks every two hours, hydrate, and relax. Most importantly, obey traffic rules—no speeding, no drunk driving—safety comes above all else.
