4 <strong>Tips</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Safely</strong><br />
<strong>Driving</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Leased</strong><br />
<strong>Vehicle</strong>
You have just leased a car fleet <strong>for</strong> your business. Now<br />
you want to make sure that you are driving it safely to<br />
comply with <strong>the</strong> guidelines, and to make sure that when<br />
you return vehicles, <strong>the</strong>re are minimal issues. Is it not<br />
right to learn a few driving tips? Let’s start with some:<br />
1. Drive While You Drive<br />
It’s <strong>the</strong> first tip that can be given. You should never lose<br />
focus on driving. If you give 100% attention to driving<br />
and don’t try to multi-task, you can surely avoid<br />
disasters. To this end, you should not use your phone, or<br />
any o<strong>the</strong>r electronic device while driving. While <strong>the</strong>re are<br />
speed limits on most highways and city but adherence to<br />
<strong>the</strong>m is a big concern. But keep in mind, when you are<br />
driving at high speed, you have less time to react and it<br />
significantly increases <strong>the</strong> severity of <strong>the</strong> accident. That’s<br />
why it makes sense to slow down where it is necessary.
2. Be Defensive When You Drive<br />
You should be aware of what o<strong>the</strong>r drivers around you<br />
are doing. While driving, you may expect <strong>the</strong> unexpected<br />
to throw you off-line. You should always assume that <strong>the</strong><br />
o<strong>the</strong>r motorists will do something crazy and must always<br />
be prepared to avoid any nonsense. It would be better to<br />
keep a safe distance of <strong>the</strong> car ahead of you. When <strong>the</strong><br />
wea<strong>the</strong>r is not good, you should drive even slow and<br />
maintain enough distance of <strong>the</strong> car ahead of you to<br />
avoid any accidents.<br />
3. Make Use of Indicators and Safety<br />
Mechanisms<br />
Can you expect that <strong>the</strong> drivers ahead of you will signal<br />
his attention while driving? Not always. But you should<br />
not do that. Make <strong>the</strong> best use of <strong>the</strong> indicators or<br />
always use <strong>the</strong> turn signals in advance be<strong>for</strong>e you make a<br />
lane change or take a turn.
Wearing a seat belt is necessary <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> drivers. There are<br />
two key benefits of wearing one. First, you will not get<br />
injured in an accident when you wear it, second, you will<br />
not be penalized where it is mandatory.<br />
4. Follow Traffic Signals<br />
You should pay close attention to <strong>the</strong> various traffic<br />
signals and should stop when you see a red light.<br />
Jumping traffic signals can cause problems that you<br />
might not have thought about.<br />
Finally,<br />
When you safely drive your newly leased vehicle, you are<br />
following <strong>the</strong> guidelines, and keep yourself safe as well.
