Five Tips for Safer Driving

· Aim High in Steering - Look ahead to where you will be at least 15
seconds from now. This way you are aware of changing traffic patterns.
To calculate your 15 second lead time, pick a stationary point up ahead
and start counting "one one thousand, two one thousand". If you get to
the object before "fifteen one thousand" then you need to start looking
further ahead.

· Get the Big Picture - While glancing ahead, don't forget the sides
and rear. Consistently update your information.

· Keep Your Eyes Moving - Focusing on any object for too long reduces
your peripheral vision - your early warning system.

·Leave Yourself an Out - When possible, surround your car or truck
with lots of space. Give yourself enough room on all sides to "escape"
should the need arise.

·Make Sure They See You - Eye contact is insurance against the
unexpected.

These tips are applicable regardless of your type of vehicle,
and regaurd less of your speed. But to be safe, the faster you go
the further ahead you should look.

Share the road and be safe!

Too difficult for most. Focus on the car in front of you and stamp on
the brakes whenever their brake lights come on.

Too difficult for most. Focus solely on car directly in front.

The most you can expect is constantly scanning the radio for traffic
info, the phone for new SMS messages, and the DVD player for the best
porn scene.

Not possible in Melbourne. If there's a gap big enough for another car,
one will obliging fill that space at the earliest opportunity.

Eye contact is impossible. Drivers in Melbourne make a point of
avoiding eye contact, particularly after they've moved into that escape
space you just left.

Too busy looking at the speedo to look further than one car ahead in
this town.

No! It's my road, it's my lane, it's my parking space. How dare anyone
else want to go faster than me, or to the same place as me.

:P

Let's see what I figure out here based on Missouri experience.

mlom: Easy to pull off on an Interstate. Get on one of the state roads
in my area, 15 seconds is 2 or 3 hills. That's why the law set up for
a 60 speed limit but most still post 55.

mlom: That's why the good Lord inspired some engineer to develop rear
view mirrors. A quick glance can occur without a head turn.

mlom: Friends don't let friends drive zoned-out. The tip also applies
to night vision: moving the eyes actually helps vision.

mlom: Easier said than done in the city. Can be executed consistently
only on secondary roads with light traffic.

mlom: Would flipping the bird work? I've seen a TON of other drivers
use that method.

mlom: My vehicle can take up only a few feet of road at a time.

Here's 5 better tips:

Get the **** off the cell phone.

Stop fiddling with the CD Player and or radio when moving...wait for a
stop light.

Put the ****ing cheeseburger down...eat BEFORE you get in the car or
after you've stopped.

Put your makeup on BEFORE you get into the car...driving down the road
and looking in the mirror to see if you have enough foundation on is
NOT a good idea. Presumably you are just being considerate and helping
out the funeral home so they don't have to fuss as much.

PAY ATTENTION...when moving leave your hands on the wheel and stop
fumbling with anything else like the radio or searching thru the glove
box or beating the kids in the back seat....

The wife was calling to tell me we needed milk.

I can't stand AC/DC so I have to turn the station.

Why do you think someone invented the Drive-Thru?

Isn't that why the put Vanity Mirrors behind the visors so you can put your
makeup on while driving?
Besides, do you really think a funeral home would say you don't need the
makeup service?

If I wait until I come to a red light, my anger will have subsided from
whatever the kids did to deserve a beating.

Here's some original tips, my own personal code of the road:

1. Don't hit anyone.
2. Don't hit any thing.
3. Don't let any thing hit you.

And don't let 2 or 3 cause you to commit 1...

Those are all good tips.
