The basic rules of safe driving: the frequent causes of accidents

No matter how significant the driving experience wasman, he will not protect him from extreme road accidents. The culprit in them can be either the driver himself, or the vehicle, and another traffic participant. Eliminate all the unpleasant situations that may occur during the journey, it is impossible, but you can and should try to prevent them and minimize the possible damage. What is needed for this? Adhere to a few simple rules for safe driving.

Rule number 1: "re-train" the car correctly

According to the traffic police, about 27.4% of collisions on the road are caused by drivers who neglect the rules of seasonal change of tires and the principles of their choice:

• Choosing all-season models, and not winter ones, during frosts and cold weather, the driver risks losing control of the car on a slippery surface.
• Savings on buying studded tires increase braking distances on the slushy and ice-covered road cover.
• Do not trust advertising, saying that there are all-season tires, this is a relatively relative concept, all-weather should not be taken literally.

In most cases, drivers choose lessa quality winter version of tires, but at an affordable price, risking safety. But compromise is not the only solution. Today you can buy quality winter tires at an affordable price. Those who are going to "pereobut" car, can see the tires in the catalog specialized store. Remember: a compromise often leads to an accident. It is better to study the full range of products and choose the tires that best fit the characteristics.

Rule number 2: correctly overtake

Frontal collisions in 8 out of 10 cases occurdue to the fact that the driver decided to make a rash overtaking. Poor visibility, high speed, roundabout - situations in which the driver is difficult to navigate (correctly calculate the distance to the nearest car, the ability to enter the turn). It is regrettable that a head-on collision in such a situation could easily be avoided:

• If the movement of the car on the opposite is too large, do not make a maneuver.
• If the track is loaded with vehicles, it is better not to overtake at high speed - you can not react in time.
• With poor visibility, do not conduct maneuvers.
• If at night the driver notices that on the oncoming lane the vehicle is trying to perform a maneuver for which there is not enough distance, switch on the high beam.

Overtaking on wet, icy or slushyRoad surfaces on worn or off-season rubber should also be as accurate as possible. But all the same it is better to "shoe" the car safely and on a season. Select the seller of tires that can offer an extensive range of goods at the manufacturer's price. In Novosibirsk it is company Torgsha, cooperating with suppliers directly. It is worth paying attention to reliable sellers, so you do not have to compromise, choosing between price and security.

Rule number 3: check the serviceability of the machine on time

A defective car on the road is a big threatAccident. From the car, rushing at high speed on the opposite side of the car, which has blocked the steering wheel, the brake did not work, and so on, it will not be easy to dodge. The fault means that it is impossible to operate the vehicle, which means that the driver will not be able to either prevent the occurrence of an emergency or reduce its consequences.

If the driver was in such situation it is necessary:

• Estimate the distance to an unmanaged car.
• Do not panic, try to predict the trajectory of traffic.
• Do not brake abruptly (help in case of need to react quickly) and if possible move to the sidelines.
• If the car that rides towards you is at a minimum distance, then turn the opposite direction from its trajectory.
• Carefully follow and follow other cars that are on the trajectory of your movement.

A significant danger is tired or notThe slept person at the wheel of the car. It's easy to notice such a driver. It is necessary to evaluate the movement of the car: zigzags and "pirouettes" on the road indicate an "insecure" driver. Sitting behind the wheel, you need to learn one important rule: the incident is better to warn. Be vigilant, do not be distracted, watch the movement of the cars closest to you. And most importantly, do not lose self-control. Panic is the enemy's worst enemy.
