Safe Driving

"The purpose of driving is to get you and your passengers to your destination safely"


Lets look at this part of the rule first.

Cars are much safer than they used to be. This gives drivers a false sense of security. You have to remember - it is not going fast that hurts, but stopping fast. In this your job is not to hit anything. This almost sounds laughable - of course you don't plan on hitting anything. However, what are you doing to actively prevent this?


Let's Break this down to 4 categories:


1. Your Physical and Mental Condition

2. The Condition of your car

3. Your driving style

4. The other driver


We will examine these in the next entries.
