These responsibilities can apply to any driver in any area, they must be followed daily. Knowing the route ahead is very important. Look into the road conditions and weather to expect what in on the road for you. If you are taking an extended trip on the road, have rest stops every two hours or so. Maintaining your vehicle will insure mechanical failure is minimized. Check lights to see they are functioning, daylight, turning and high beams. Test brakes to make sure they are not wearing down too much, and that they stop your vehicle properly. Focus your attention only on the road and minimize your distractions. The less that hinders you, the more likely you are to catch if something is amiss on the road. Share the road with others. That means to respect the space others have on the road as well.
Any driver or motorcyclist and even truck drivers will have different requirements when driving together. Maintain a proper speed on any road. Speed limits are in place to make sure you have the most time to react to any instance that might occur. If you decide to go any faster that what is posted, you run the risk of not having enough time or space to avoid accidents. Another major duty for drivers to remain safe is to have a safe distance. Keep a “safety cushion around the vehicle. This will enable you to have evasive options should something go wrong in front of you. Keeping these all in mind will keep you driving safer and others as well.
