Driving Tips
Everybody thinks they’re a good driver. Consider your daily driving experiences and you’ll know that this is not true. Given that, I’d like to offer two tips which will help you and the driver behind you keep your blood pressure down a little.
1. If the guy behind you wants to go faster than you do, and you are in the left lane, move over. You are probably backing up traffic for miles, and should have your license revoked.
2. Watch cars and upcoming lights. If there’s any indication you may have to slow down in the near future, lay off the gas. You shouldn’t have to use your brakes very much unless you’re stopping. Also, this will save you money on gas and brake pad replacements.
I have driven for a living and I currently drive 100 miles a day on my commute. I drive to two neighboring states on a regular basis. It constantly boggles my mind to see people driving, the only reason for which must be that they have a destination, yet they don’t seem to really care when they get there. And the other guy is the over-aggressive driver, who accelerates until he has to hit his brakes, then repeats that process until he gets to work. Both are functioning on cognitive levels I can’t fathom.
Drive safely, wear your seatbelt, use your turn signals, and remember that merging requires acceleration, not coming to a dead stop and then trying to figure out how to get into the 60 mph traffic zooming by.
