Of fundamental importance for road safety are not only driving experience, car brand, good roads and weather. The driver must develop five more good habits. Pavel Chervyakov, head of the sales department of one of the divisions of the Avilon group, spoke about them in an interview with the PRIME agency.
According to him, before you get behind the wheel, be sure to visually check the pressure in the tires and make sure they are not flat. To do this, you need to go around the car around and assess the condition of the wheels.
The second habit that the auto expert advised never to neglect is to always buckle up in a car, and this applies not only to the driver, but also to passengers, including those sitting in the back seats.
The third point – in principle, do not be distracted from the road, that is, do not eat or smoke while driving, do not use a mobile phone – one way or another, this distracts the driver from traffic.
“The driver should park to the side of the road to talk on the phone, and then continue driving,” Chervyakov advised.
The fourth important habit is the need to regularly bring the car for maintenance in order to eliminate the risk of accidents due to any malfunction, and so that unforeseen situations do not arise during operation. In particular, the auto expert recommended regularly checking the condition of the battery, brake system, running gear of the car, as well as the levels and quality of operating fluids (fuel, engine oil, and so on) – they should be seasonal and only of good quality.
The fifth point, which should also not be forgotten, is that the correct position of the hands on the steering wheel has a very serious effect on the process of driving a car.
“It allows you to rotate the steering wheel as quickly and efficiently as possible and respond in an emergency situation. Established rules that are described in all driving textbooks. For example, you need to adhere to a certain angle of elbow flexion, consider how to properly shift your hands when turning the steering wheel. In a critical situation, this knowledge will allow the driver to save his life and the lives of passengers, as he will spend much less time on unnecessary actions and will be able to maneuver, ”Chervyakov explained.
In addition, he advises not to neglect such obvious things as essential medicines, and always carry a driver’s first aid kit, as well as a fire extinguisher. “With their help, in a critical situation, you can help not only yourself, but also provide first aid to someone else or put out a fire,” the specialist concluded.
