Five Rules for Safe Driving
These five rules for safe driving are adapted from the Smith System, trainers for safe driving.
- Aim high in steering.
Look 15 seconds into your future. Don’t just watch the vehicle in front of you. - Get the big picture.
Use the four second rule to avoid following too closely. - Keep your eyes moving.
Avoid fixed stares. - Leave yourself an out.
There’s no substitute for space. - Make sure they see you.
Use eye contact, turn signals, lights, etc. to help ensure other drivers see you.
