What are the precautions when driving?

Precautions when driving: 1. Do not exceed the speed limit, especially in suburban areas, control your speed to avoid being caught by speed cameras; 2. Do not drink and drive. Drunk driving is strictly monitored. If caught, you may face fines, points deduction, or even license suspension for minor offenses, and direct detention for serious ones. Therefore, develop the good habit of not drinking when driving and not driving after drinking; 3. Do not occupy bus lanes. Make it a habit not to drive in bus lanes, even in emergencies, always avoid them; 4. Strictly follow traffic signals and directional signs; 5. Do not occupy non-motorized vehicle lanes. While driving, avoid sidewalks, slow lanes, and other non-motorized lanes.

After driving for so many years, I have a habit of adjusting the seat and rearview mirror every time I get in the car to ensure an unobstructed view. The key is to stay focused and avoid using a phone or eating while driving. I always remind myself to check blind spots, especially when changing lanes—besides checking the rearview mirror, I also turn my head to glance at the side. On rainy days when the road is slippery, I proactively reduce my speed. Maintaining a safe distance is crucial; in the city, I keep at least a two-second gap, and on the highway, I increase it further. I’m extra cautious and slow down when passing schools and crosswalks to prevent accidents. Adhering to speed limits is essential, especially on unfamiliar roads. I always keep emergency items in the car, such as a warning triangle and reflective vest.

I drive to work every day and have summarized some practical tips. The first thing I do when getting in the car is to fasten my seatbelt and remind passengers to do the same. During traffic jams, I find it most annoying when others cut in line, but I maintain patience to avoid road rage, as forced lane changes can easily lead to accidents. With heavy traffic on the commute, it's especially important to maintain a safe following distance to prevent rear-end collisions. I use side auxiliary mirrors to address blind spot issues. On long drives, I keep mints handy to stay alert and take breaks at service areas every two hours. When reversing, my biggest fear is not seeing what's behind clearly, so I always double-check before moving, and I don't rely entirely on the reversing camera.

Safety is my top priority when picking up and dropping off my kids to and from school. In addition to the routine seatbelt use, it's essential to equip the child with a proper safety seat. While driving, I try to keep the windows closed to prevent kids from sticking their hands out. In case of emergencies, I prefer to gently tap the brakes to alert the car behind me rather than slamming on them. When passing through residential areas, I slow down in advance, paying extra attention to children or small animals that might suddenly dart out. I never park haphazardly by the roadside; instead, I always look for a proper parking spot. There's always some noise when taking kids out, but I make it clear to them that they mustn't be noisy to avoid distracting the driver. On particularly hot summer days, I open the windows to ventilate the car for a few minutes before turning on the AC for safety.
