In order to respect and to reach out to OTHERS, we need to be aware of their needs and wants and to understand their environments. There are a couple of special areas that may be worth while to ponder in consideration of OTHERS.
TIPS FOR THE ON- THE- ROAD AWARENESS:
1) Observe the posted speed limit, which means avoid going 60 mph in a 45 mph posted speed zone.
2) Remembering to use turn signals when making left and right hand turns rather than using the turn signals as you make your intended turn.
3) Keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you when traveling at any speed. Bumper driving is asking for serious consequences.
4) Watching out for erratic and impatient drivers who love to weave in and out of traffic with little warning. This type of driver causes road rage. Remember to keep your hands on the steering wheel rather than giving the "finger fickle of fate."
5) When on a two-lane road, staying in the right hand lane to allow persons to pass you even when you are keeping the speed limit. Speeders we always have with us. Allow the authorized law enforcement to do their duties safely.
6) If you insist on driving in the passing lane, move over to the right hand lane when you are obviously below the posted speed limit. Safety first is the rule!
7) If you need to make a phone call, pull off the side of the road and park. Also, if a rest stop is available, you will be able to have a safe conversation without endangering other safety-conscious drivers.
8) Driving after dark requires more attention with lighting and your vehicle lights. You will notice that the scenery is very different after dark. Drive carefully and give more room for approaching vehicles before passing another vehicle. Unnecessary car accidents can be avoided by good common horse sense.
9) When you are feeling tired, you may need to pull off the road and find accommodations for the evening rather than erratic driving from fatigue.
10) If you have had too much to drink with alcoholic beverages or you are on medication that would impair your judgment, give your keys to someone else to drive. Driving drunk or after too many alcoholic beverages is like driving a death trap for you and for OTHER drivers. You now are lethal and dangerous.
You may think of many other safety tips for drivers on the road. Being conscious of how we make OTHERS safe by our own safe driving, makes good common sense. Respecting Others Awareness Month, September, 2008, is a good way of reminding us how special OTHERS are in our scheme of life's journeys. A good safe driver is a friend of the road rather than a menace of the road. Your family, friends, and strangers will applaud your efforts to keep our highways SAFE!
