Bad habits to avoid when driving

Wearing high heels while driving

For women, when dressing up to go to work, meet friends or attend an event, high heels are often an indispensable accessory.

However, if women sit in the driver's seat, this is a real disaster. Because the soles of high heels are very sharp and they can get stuck on the floor of the car, even making it more difficult for their feet to control the car... All of this can cause them to cause unexpected accidents.

Therefore, if you have decided to sit in the driver's seat, both men and women should wear flat shoes that fit their feet and are comfortable to drive with the most confidence.

Wearing headphones while driving

You are waiting for an important call and of course do not want to hold the steering wheel with one hand and the phone with the other, or you simply want to enjoy music without disturbing the people in the car. Do you think the reasonable solution is to wear headphones?

This is a bad idea because when wearing headphones, you tend to focus on the sound coming from this small device and not pay attention to other warning sounds (like the horn of another car, calls from outside...).

Using the phone while driving

According to Point i, Clause 3, Article 5 of Decree 46/2016/ND-CP regulating administrative penalties for violations in the field of road and railway traffic, drivers who use the phone while driving can be fined from VND 600,000 to VND 800,000 and have their driving license revoked for 1 to 3 months.

With the above penalty regulations, drivers should pay attention to using phones while driving. This behavior can also cause us to lose focus when driving, leading to the risk of causing accidents.

Carrying pets in the car

It would be a very bad idea to bring your pet in the car. What will ensure that your pet does not "jump around" while you are holding the wheel.

Not only that, petting or cuddling them also reduces your concentration, or simply their long tail accidentally blocks your vision for a few seconds... can also have big consequences.

Drink alcohol

Regardless of whether your blood alcohol level is high or low, driving after drinking is extremely risky. Alcohol affects the central nervous system, causing hallucinations, loss of concentration, impaired control and concentration, and increasing the risk of collision in unexpected situations.

Don't put yourself or those around you in that dangerous situation, at any time, for any reason.

So, whether you are driving a modern luxury car or an old car, remember not to drink alcohol before putting your hands on the wheel.

Speed ​​up at yellow light

If you speed up when the traffic light turns yellow, you will block the way of those who are on the green light in the opposite lane. This is a bad habit because it can lead to serious collisions. Therefore, when encountering a yellow light, drivers should proactively reduce speed to prepare to stop at a red light.

Improper vehicle maintenance

Neglecting maintenance can easily result in additional costs for the vehicle owner in the event of damage to the vehicle. Proper vehicle maintenance also helps the vehicle last longer. Vehicle owners should also maintain the habit of checking the brakes themselves, replacing worn tires, and other components to ensure safe operation.
