We've all been there. You're driving along, minding your own business, when some other driver doing something incredibly annoying cuts you off. It happens to the best of us, but there are some things you can do to make sure you're not the one causing the stress for other drivers.
If you have not passed your g1 practice test but are looking to get a driver’s license, the article discusses some habits you must avoid after you are behind the wheels. The G1 test is a written test that is mandatory to get a driver's license. This test is similar to the driver knowledge test. Which has different sections such as, traffic signs and road rules.
Here are the top 5 worst driving habits that anyone should avoid.
1. Speeding
One of the most dangerous driving habits is speeding. According to related authorities, speeding is a factor in nearly a third of the whole traffic fatalities. It is difficult to control a vehicle while at high speed and speeding also increases the distance needed to stop. It also reduces your reaction time in the event of an emergency.
Speeding is dangerous and it's also against the law. If you're caught speeding, you could get a ticket or even lose your license. If you're in a hurry, leave earlier or plan your route better. There's no reason to put yourself and other drivers at risk by speeding.
2. Running Red Lights and Stop Signs
Another one of the worst habits is running red lights and stop signs. This is not only illegal, but it is also extremely dangerous.
Running red lights is not only illegal, but it's also very dangerous. You could cause an accident or even kill someone if you're not careful. Every year, there are nearly 700 deaths and 130,000 injuries caused by drivers who run red lights.
If you're running late, it's better to wait a few extra seconds at a red light than to risk an accident.
3. Texting or Talking on the Phone While Driving
Texting or talking on the phone while driving is definitely one of the most dangerous things you can do behind the wheel. It is estimated that text messaging while driving increases the risk of an accident by 23 times. Talking on the phone while behind the wheel raises the risk of an accident by four times.
4. Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs
DUI is extremely dangerous and is a leading cause of traffic fatalities. In 2010, nearly 10,000 people were killed in alcohol-related crashes. Do not get behind the wheel if you have been drinking or taking drugs.
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is never a good idea. DUI is against the law and is the most dangerous scene to drive in. If you're going to be drinking, make sure you have a designated driver. Don't risk your life or the lives of others by getting behind the wheel when you're not sober.
5. Failing to Yield to Pedestrians and Other Vehicles
Failing to yield to pedestrians and other vehicles is not only illegal, but it is also dangerous. Every year, thousands of pedestrians are killed by drivers who fail to yield the right-of-way. When you are driving, always be on the lookout for pedestrians, and yield the right-of-way when necessary.
All these are the habits you must get rid of. These are not only dangerous for you but also for the one’s around you.
