1. When I think about safe driving I think about
how I keep my emotions under control.

2. I am well aware that is much easier said than
done.

3. This is especially true when you have drivers
cutting you off, stress from family, school,
work, and every other thing that just likes to
make your day more challenging.

4. With that said though the ability to drive
safe is paramount.

5. With safe driving commuters can get into
accidents that can cause severe damage or
death.

6. With that said certain legal problems can be
added to the number of things that you must
take care of if you choose to not drive safe.

7. When driving in high volume traffic on the
highway, it’s best to keep a safe following
distance and beware of cars making quick
lane changes trying to get into the fast lane
going 5mph.

8. So be careful, think and look before you lane
change because once you cross the line
there is no going back.

9. One thing I have learned while driving is it
only takes one inch or one split second to
make the difference in everyone getting
home safe or someone getting carried on a
stretcher.

10. That’s the reality of being on the highway
whether you’re going 60mph or 5mph you
should keep the same safe driving instincts.

11. Driving in a school zone can be a dangerous
act if you’re not following the speed limit or
staying focused.

12. Not only can it cost you almost twice as
much as a regular speeding ticket, but you
could possibly run over an innocent young
kid trying to cross the road.

13. Then you won’t be as worried about being
late to pick up your kid.

14. Also in school zones it is illegal to text or talk
and drive.

15. The reason for this is that when you are
focused on your phone you won’t be able to
see that 3 foot tall kid bent over in your lane.

16. Construction zones can be a big hazard to
you and the construction workers.

17. So the speed limit is at least 20 mph less in
the construction zone for your own safety.

18. When going through a construction zone,
beware of anything in the roadway or
anything they could be entering the
roadway.

19. The reason being is big equipment can be
crossed, entering or blocking the road and
the last thing you want to do is run into
something weighing ten or more tons more
than you.

20. With these tips driving safe shouldn’t being a
worry for anyone.
