Why Road Safety Matters to Book Theory Test Today <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Here at Book Theory Test Today,<\/b> safe driving matters to us because it saddens us that so many new, young or inexperienced drivers are involved in fatal accidents every year on Britain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s roads. We believe prevention is the cure for bad driving habits, so if catching you early with blogs like this saves your life we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re happy.<\/span><\/p>\n

More Tips<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

So, here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a further five tips from Book Theory Test Today<\/b>, just for you young, new, inexperienced motorists. Learn and stay safe…<\/span><\/p>\n

Avoid driving in another driver\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s blind spot<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The Book Theory Test Today <\/b>blogger says: <\/b>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Yes, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re starting part two as we ended part one, talking about blind spots. Can there really be more to be said?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n

Just because you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re clever enough to check your blind spot doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mean every other road user is as savvy. You can only worry about your driving so, to stay out of trouble, you can take one of two actions when overtaking. You can accelerate and get up alongside the vehicle you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re overtaking or you can drop back until you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re seen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each of the above gives the person you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re overtaking the opportunity to see you, allowing you to pass safely.<\/span><\/p>\n

Learn what the left hand lane of the motorway is for<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Do you know what it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s for? Maybe not, as a newbie driver your experience of motorways has been confined to theory test<\/b> revision and your driving instructor talking about them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, let Book Theory Test Today<\/b> tell you. The left hand lane of a motorway is for \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcnormal\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 driving. The other two lanes are for overtaking. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t believe us? Check your Highway Code, rule 238: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You should drive in the left-hand lane if the road ahead is clear. Return to the left-hand lane once you have overtaken all the vehicles or if you are delaying traffic behind you.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/span><\/p>\n

Immediately drive in bad weather<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

We know what you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re thinking, Book Theory Test Today <\/b>you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re crazy. Actually, there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s method in our madness. The only way you can cope with driving in heavy rain, snow or icy conditions is by doing it. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s like swimming, you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t learn to swim on the floor, and neither can you learn to drive in snow by playing Gran Turismo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trust us, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll become more confident having done it, and you will get an idea of why those braking distances, you studied during theory test<\/b> revision, are so vital.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ditch the phone<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

We hate to say it, and it may be a bit stereotypical, but new, young drivers are the worst for using mobile phones at the wheel. Get out of the habit. If it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a real problem for you to be without you phone, best leave it at home when driving. You can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be tempted when the temptation is not there.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mobile phone use at the wheel is a major problem on Britain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s highways at present, a problem the police are trying to subdue. The consequences of mobile phone use at the wheel can be fatal. <\/span><\/p>\n

Distraction can lead to the destruction of a driver. The use of mobile phones at the wheel is illegal, so don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be naive thinking that it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not a problem. <\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t give in to peer pressure<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re talking about your mates. They might be egging you on to go faster or perform a dangerous manoeuvre. But remember this; you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re responsible for yours and their safety. Any accident that occurs as a result of you performing for your mates is on you, the driver.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you find your driving habits changing when your buddies are in the car, say no to giving them lifts. They might be a bit upset with you, but you can heal a rift, you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t bring them back from the dead!<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s it folks, 10 essential tips that you, as young, new or inexperienced drivers need to know. Use this information to make yourself a better motorist. Stay safe!<\/span><\/p>\n
