Six Habits for driving S.A.F.E.L.Y.
There is a lot involved in driving a motor vehicle on our Arizona roadways. A complete driver’s education consists of not only knowing the road rules, but also having Behind the Wheel driver’s training. After the education is completed, and with license in hand (or wallet), there are six good habits to always follow to increase your driving safety. We here at Chandler Driving School recommend:
S Speed control. No speeding, drive the appropriate speed for the situation. abide by the posted speed limit.
A Anticipate what other drivers might do, or are about to do. Also, anticipate what you may need to do in a given situation.
F Following distance. Allow a 3 second following distance. This increases your view of potential hazards and gives you more time to react in a bad situation.
E Eyes on the road. Don’t let yourself be distracted by things such as cell phones, other passengers, etc.. Roadway conditions will change in an instant.
L Look twice when yielding to oncoming traffic or pedestrians, and when changing lanes.
Y Yellow traffic signal means stop if you can do so safely. When approaching a yellow light don’t ask yourself “can I make it” but ask “can I stop safely” .
At Chandler Driving School, we believe these six habits will greatly increase your driver safety and make getting behind the wheel a more enjoyable experience.
