Are you a rusty driver?

Are you a rusty driver?


After a decade as a driver, you may have taken some nasty wrinkles.

Without getting follow-up exams, drivers can forget the basics that are crucial on the road. Whether you are driving in the city or in the countryside, some theories escape us faster than others. Here are the observations made by Julie Bourret, of the Option driving school located in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, who has 24 years of experience as a driving instructor.
“Pedestrians are in no hurry, they can wait! "
After ten years of obtaining a permit, from time to time you may forget to yield to pedestrians. This is all the more true if you travel exclusively in the countryside (there are many fewer). Watch out! In addition to endangering the lives of pedestrians, it can cost you money; this violation can lead to a violation ticket of several hundred dollars, depending on the city in which the violation takes place!
“The left lane, the center lane or the right lane… they all go to the same place! "
When the nervousness of the early years is far behind, the motorway can become for some a comfortable place where you can choose your lane according to your mood of the moment. Although it is not a law written everywhere, the left lane should be reserved for overtaking, thus facilitating the flow of traffic.
"My rearview mirror is free, so there is no one around! "
When an accident happens between two cars or between a car and a cyclist, you often hear the following quote: "I've never seen it!" "Blind spots can be forgotten if they are not consulted regularly.
"The closer I am to the other, the more chance I have of being on time! "
Delays can make us impatient behind the wheel and suddenly push (literally) other motorists into traffic. Keep your distance; an accident happens quickly when you follow a car only a few feet!
"It is by fixing your gaze that you can make objects move"
Finally, one of those bad folds that you develop is that of looking at obstacles in the road rather than looking where you need to go. Anticipating what is happening on the road instead of looking at the vehicle's rear bumper up front can not only prevent accidents, but can also improve smoothness and movement on the road. Could we stop the traffic problems if everyone put this way of doing things into practice? Who knows!
