Defensive Driving Tips

In order to stay safe in the city or on the highway when you are driving your Honda Civic Coupe Oakville, you should practice defensive driving. Defensive driving is multi-faceted, and there are many ways for you to avoid accidents by practicing it. Being aware and practicing defensive driving with your vehicle purchased from Dayton Toyota or any other dealership will help you prevent accidents and reduce the severity of accidents should they happen. Even if you are driving a vehicle loaded with safety features like those sold at Kansas City Kia Specials, you should practice defensive driving.

One important tip to consider when you are driving is to be aware of vehicles that have slowed down or stopped. This becomes even more important when you are turning to perform a shoulder check or turning away even for a brief second. A vehicle that was ahead of you can quickly slow down, and you must be watching the road at all times if you are in close proximity to a vehicle nearby you. You should not perform a shoulder check unless you have adequate space between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you to avoid a potential rear end collision.

Another important safety tip to consider is to be aware of animals while driving. Deer and other animals can cause serious collisions resulting in injury and serious damage to an automobile. It is important that you are aware of animals crossing the street, and to improve your reaction time you should drive the speed limit. When you are on the highway at night and there are no oncoming cars you should use your high beams so that you have more reaction time to unexpected animals and so that they can see your vehicle from a further distance. Practicing these and other defensive driving tips will help you avoid accidents.
