5 tips behind the wheel

1. Three-second rule

Driving at a reasonable pace allows you plenty of time and space to respond to unexpected situations. Increase your distance when you’re driving in bad weather, heavy traffic and when behind large vehicles.

2. Steering is King

Always keep your hands on the steering wheel to respond quickly in case the car suddenly loses control. The steering wheel is the first place you will sense if there’s anything amiss with the car.

3. Smooth operator

Be extra gentle with your pedals as you increase or decrease the pressure. Being too harsh on the accelerator pedal will not only make you go faster but increase your chances of swerving.

4. Ditch distractions

Put your phone on silent mode and never use it while driving. If you use it for directions, make sure it is mounted where you can easily see it.
