What should be paid attention to when driving straight?

[ODante]

Here are the precautions to take when driving straight: 1. Safe following distance: When driving on the road, it is important to maintain a safe distance between vehicles. At a speed of 100 km/h, even the best car requires nearly 40 meters to come to a complete stop after emergency braking. Even in urban areas where speeds may not reach 100 km/h, it is still impossible to guarantee that the vehicle can stop safely under normal driving conditions. 2. Overtaking and lane changing: Different road sections and conditions require different driving techniques for overtaking. Unless there are special circumstances, it is advisable to overtake from the left side. When overtaking, first observe the left front, then check the left rearview mirror and its blind spot. After confirming safety, turn on the left turn signal and gradually merge into the left lane of the vehicle ahead. 3. Avoid using mobile phones while driving: Answering phone calls while driving is a dangerous factor that can lead to accidents, as it can reduce the driver's attention by 20% to 70%. Even if the vehicle is equipped with a hands-free phone system, answering calls still diverts attention and reduces the focus on observing the vehicle and surrounding environment, inevitably increasing the risk of accidents.
