Be The Man Of Manners Even When On Wheels

Following a few basic rules of roadway etiquettes can create all the difference between safe, decent driving and careless, reckless driving.

Prove yourself as the man of manners even when on wheels by avoiding some common driving errors:

The Annoying Tailgater-

Tailgating is the act of an unnecessary drive close to the car just in front of you. This should be avoided as it depicts a rude image and could even be dangerous. Driving close to the car in front of you throws direct risks considering you may not have enough time or space to avoid the collision leading to accident. Thus, it is always safe and decent to maintain a certain distance from the vehicle in front of you. 

The Imprudent Multi-Tasker

When you are driving your car, your primary focus must be the road ahead of you and the environment surrounding you. Often some drivers try to act smart by showcasing their multi-tasking talent on the wheels by turning on the radio, speaking via mobiles and enjoying the GPS display while driving. Such activities only prove a person’s stupidity rather than his smartness.

If you have to make or attend an urgent call, drive your car at one side of the road and receive your call without any hassle. Always remember that you have got two hands and only one brain. Even professional drivers fail to maintain balance and concentration while driving. The current road environment is fast paced and at times chaotic. Thus, it is better to act really smart by paying your complete attention towards driving and nothing else.

The Impatient Approach to the Pedestrians-

No pedestrian prefers spending time in the middle of a road. They always tend to cross the road as soon as possible. It is always better to portray patience without unnecessary honking to give them their space and time to cross the road safely.

The Double Parking Space Occupiers-

Portray yourself as a confident man who always tends to park his car within the confines of a single parking space. Avoid consuming a double parking space that might offend others.

The Frequent Honkers at Traffic-

Frequent honking at the traffic signals not only irritates others but also portrays a foolish image of yours. Thus it is advised to follow the traffic signals patiently without blowing the horns constantly.
