Common mistakes when driving during the holidays

Tet 2019 will be a long holiday so many families choose to travel. However, driving long distances is not simple because it is easy to have an accident if you do not have good skills to handle situations. Therefore, to ensure safety for yourself and your family when driving during Tet, drivers should note some mistakes to avoid below:

Do not drink alcohol before driving long distances.

Drinking alcohol before driving long distances is known to many drivers to be very dangerous. This is not only dangerous for the driver but also dangerous for other road users. Because drinking alcohol can cause drowsiness and insomnia, making the driver not alert enough to drive.

Driving early or at night can make it difficult for drivers to see.

Trying to get up earlier or choosing the evening before to depart to avoid traffic jams when going out during the long holiday is what everyone thinks of. However, these are the two times of the day when driving is most difficult to observe. The change in light causes the human eye to fall into a state of night blindness, making it difficult to see objects clearly, so danger can occur.

Improper use of fog lights

Not driving in this weather condition often can make drivers confused in using fog lights. Drivers should note, the rear fog lights only work when the headlights are in low beam mode, be careful if the fog is not too thick then do not use the fog lights, because the tail lights can dazzle the drivers behind.

The mistake of stopping in the middle of the road to take photos can be dangerous.

Many people enjoy the beautiful scenery around them so they often stop in the middle of the road to take pictures. However, suddenly stopping the car in the middle of the road to take pictures can be dangerous for you, your family members and other vehicles.

Suddenly stop the car in the middle of the road to rest

Similar to stopping to take photos, during a long journey on the car, many members have personal needs that they want to relieve themselves, so they want the driver to stop immediately. This is dangerous, so you should not suddenly cut in front of a series of cars in the lane next to the curb to get to the stop. You need to determine the position in advance, then gradually move to the most suitable lane near the stop.

Entering the lane without looking caused a terrible accident.

After stopping the car, some drivers who lack experience driving long distances often get in the car and press the accelerator to enter the traffic lane, forgetting to observe, especially behind. To ensure safety, drivers need to calmly observe the front and back, turn on the signal to enter the lane until the oncoming vehicles recognize and give way, then slowly enter the lane.
