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.
