(Baonghean.vn) - In addition to the common experiences for both male and female drivers such as regular vehicle maintenance, regular tire pressure checks, careful study of the route before departure..., women need to pay special attention to the following issues.

1. Say "no" to high heels

High heels have long been an indispensable item for most women, but they are only suitable when we sit in the back seat. When driving by yourself, wearing high heels will hinder operations such as pressing the accelerator and brake.

It is better for women to keep a pair of flat, soft-soled shoes in their car when driving. This way, they can ensure safety and not worry about losing their shape when going out. It also helps to avoid the feeling of sore feet after long trips.

2. Avoid distractions

Compared to men, women are easily distracted and instead of staring at the road, they have to think about what to eat tonight, be busy "looking" for discount stores or making phone calls, even doing beauty treatments...

Therefore, when starting the engine, activate the headset mode for the phone, put personal belongings in a neat place, give top priority to driving so that you can master unexpected situations on the road. Don't forget to arrange all work at home and at work carefully so that you don't have to worry about them.

3. Adjust your sitting posture

Once you get in the car, the first thing you need to do is adjust the rear seat to the most comfortable position, both the steering wheel and your eyesight. According to the advice of experts, lean back in the seat, put your hands straight on the top of the steering wheel so that your palms are in contact. Next, adjust other factors, including the rearview mirrors both inside and outside.

The aim is to ensure the best visibility, with an unobstructed view. Don't forget to fasten your seat belt before slowly entering the station.

4. Skill training

Always remember to drive in the correct lane and at the allowed speed, get into the habit of reading signs, and observe to be able to predict the direction of surrounding vehicles. When approaching an intersection, you need to reduce speed and give way to priority vehicles...

In some cases, not only women but also men panic and mistake the brake pedal for the accelerator pedal, causing serious consequences. According to experts, to overcome this, the driver should keep the heel fixed on the floor of the car, only moving the toes and feet to control the brake and accelerator - because if you lift your whole foot to step on it, it is easy to lose control.

5. Keep yourself and your car safe

An “unchangeable” rule that women must remember is to lock the doors and roll up all the windows after getting into the car. In case a stranger asks, look around, if you open the door, open it just enough to talk. It is not uncommon for bad guys to pretend to collide and when the car owner opens the front door, an accomplice will open the back door to take things or even blatantly rob. This is a very difficult situation for women to handle.

Before getting out of the car, no matter how rushed you are, you should look around. Once you are sure that there will be no collision with pedestrians, open the door slowly, leaving it open for 5 seconds to make sure everyone knows you are getting out, avoiding any possible unwanted collisions.
