What is not being told in driving schools

From the instructor in a driving school depends on the behavior of future drivers on the road and, in some sense, the safety of those around them. For driving crusts training has just begun, because the training motorist gets only the simplest basic knowledge. The first time it is better to travel in company with a keen motorist, wound dozens, even hundreds of thousands of kilometers. "Battle" will accumulate experience from their own mistakes and councils experienced comrades. Travel along the route of the habit is very harassed novices so that they can quietly fall asleep while driving. It is best to park in a safe place (at a gas station, parked near the shop) and sleep a few minutes. But if you really need to go, you can use one of the recipes distilled drowsiness. Energy can cheer with ascorbic acid, citrus fruits, chocolate, strong coffee and food in general is different. Help disperse the blood singing, changes in temperature in the cabin to the cold side (opening windows, air conditioning), tingling fingers. Some practitioners stop to jog around the car and a short charging. Another effective way - drink plenty of water and to endure the pressure on the bladder. Monotony of driving on the highway can be broken at a small crossroads where you might suddenly appear drunk local man who does not know the meaning of the sign "give way". On narrow country roads should not trust a single counter spotlight - it could be a motorcyclist and a car with a broken headlight. Due to traveling to meet a truck can seem outrunning his car, so it's better to be prepared in advance with their right (but not the bully side wheels on the side of the road) or slow down. Care at the wheel does not come immediately. Difficult to quickly find, what to pay increased attention in addition to road signs, distance and speed limits. There are signals of danger to which you want to learn to react quickly. If no clear cause of riding ahead of the car caught fire stop, must immediately remove the pedal off the gas - perhaps he's going to drive around an unexpected obstacle. Those with high vehicle as a bonus given the visibility at one or two cars ahead - they will have more time for braking. When several vehicles include turn signals, this suggests that they go round accident, roadworks, broken or waiting for the turning car or some other obstacle. Seeing the massive rebuilding ahead, you can prepare in advance to do the same maneuver. Ride on rough roads - the whole art. A few years ago in our country from the road was just a name. Now, in many areas the situation has not changed much, although in major cities, road builders are trying to track the evenness of asphalt. You can not even relax in a familiar way - dug a hole in it will be a double surprise for the driver. Alarms are installed is not everywhere, so when he saw from afar a crack or bump of unknown origin, should immediately slow down, because next to it may be other wells. Do not rush in where the new asphalt is laid - he, unfortunately, is not infinite. For the smooth part is likely to start a bumpy road, broken road builders. Usually at first glance a puddle on the road may hide a hole, the stone or the open hatch. If you can not overtake it, pass on it should be at a low speed. Clumsy and slow for the type of trucks are very dangerous for other cars. Not all drivers disquiet about the coverage carried the tent, so from the cargo bay can take off the stones, light weight. At the traffic lights, especially on the rise, do not get too much cuddle up to standing in the front truck - at the beginning of the movement, they often back off. Overview of heavy vehicles is far worse - in a cabin no rear-view mirror and the driver may not notice was close, "passenger car". From trucks with sliding or opening rear doors down better to keep at a distance exceeding the length of the door, just in case it opens. Warn about their maneuvers to be in advance, but expect the same awareness of other road users is not worth it. If riding next to the machine blinking turn signals, it does not mean that it will rotate, and if they will be, not the fact that it is in the specified direction. Only the beginning of maneuver can convince the other driver's intentions. Distance is observed not only in order to have time to stop in case of emergency braking. "Spare" distance to the traveling vehicle in front will help if he would suddenly decide to turn where you need to go straight. Not to wait until he succumb to road or traffic lights hand, stored parameters can be used to detour. These meters will save standing in front of the rear of the car in the event of an impact in their own back when the inertial jolt. Reconstructed in the left lane, better safe look over your left shoulder so as not to collide with a car, riding in the blind spot side mirror. Before turning to the left must make sure that you will not overtaking, even when on the road for more than two rows on either side. A glance in the mirrors must be, and before turning right, as it is a lot of wishing to avoid a traffic jam on the sidelines. When changing the range of motion should be prepared for the fact that the speed limit there may be different, if at all flow stops. Braking is not always an exit from an emergency situation, and in some cases it becomes the cause. At a high speed brake abruptly, without a critical need not be, you must first make sure the rear view mirror that riding behind too slows down. In winter, stopping distance is greatly increased, and some irresponsible motorists do not take the trouble of changing tires. The list of hazardous surfaces for braking includes rails (if the machine goes directly to the gland), and puddles, and yard area where it is often covered with ice. Sitting in a cozy armchair in the car, drivers often do not think about those on the other side. Pedestrians can appear anywhere, even on motorways. Skip the pedestrian not be easy, but even this noble cause should make with care. Before we give way to a man, we must consider that he might fall under the wheels of the vehicle overtaking you. To get up a stake before the zebra crossing too dangerous - riding behind the machine may not have time to assess the situation. If you suspect that a person walking along the road drunk or a small child, you should minimize the rate - these pedestrians are sources of increased danger, their maneuvers impossible to predict. Sharpen attention should be during a trip by public transport - for him to flee to the passengers, and left on stopping people can immediately begin to move to the other side of the road. The same applies to cars parked on the roadside - it could dramatically open the door, the driver may suddenly begin to turn, or go to the band of associated movements. Everyone goes through this period, someone is mastered on the road soon, someone longer. Many people eventually forget what originally caught themselves in a difficult situation. Importantly - remember reciprocity and be tolerant of "green" drivers. Text: Olga Zabelkina.
