TAKE ACTION BEFORE YOU
HIT THE ROAD
(NewsUSA) - Checking mirrors
and seat belts every time you
get in you car might seem overly
cautious, but driving experts say
that what you do before you turn
on the ignition may mean the
difference between life and death.
“So many accidents can be traced
back to bad decisions before you
even get behind the driver’s seat,”
said Jeff Purner, a professional
driving instructor for Porsche Cars
North America.
Routine maintenance is critical to
your safety. For example, under-
inflated tires are the primary cause
of tire failures and can adversely
affect you car’s handling and fuel
mileage. Check you tires, including
your spare, at least once a month.
You should check your wiper
blades monthly as well. Worn
blades impact visibility and create
glare on the windshield, even when
they are not in use.
What you bring with you into your car
could be the most critical decision
of your day. Cell phones are one of
the most dangerous items to use
in your car. Anytime you’re talking,
texting or using GPS applications,
you’re not paying attention to the
road. Purner says that using cell
phones while driving, especially
to text message, is as dangerous
as driving under the influence of
alcohol or drugs. Do yourself a
favor, and turn your cell phone off.
After switching off your cell phone,
you should check and adjust your
seat belt. The lap belt should rest
low across your waist, and the
shoulder strap should come over
your shoulder and across your
chest. Never put the shoulder
strap under your armpit. Before
turning on the ignition, adjust your
rear-view and side-view mirrors.
According to Purner, too many
drivers set their mirrors to reflect
the outside of their own car instead
of the road.
“You already know where your car
is; you should be concerned about
where the other cars are so that
you can avoid them.”
When positioning your hands on
the steering wheel, hold the wheel
at 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock. In this
position, you can turn the wheel
the furthest without your hands
crossing over. This hold also
allows for a better “feel” and faster
response time.
