SOME UNSAFE DRIVING BEHAVIORS

Driving in the opposite direction, passing a red light, using a mobile phone, etc. is one of many driving behaviors that may endanger other drivers.

Overcoming the red light

Like a one-way street, traffic lights are also born to help make traffic safer, orderly, and reduce congestion. However, some drivers have a habit of passing a red light or taking advantage of the last seconds of a yellow light on intersections without a police officer.

This behavior helps them to travel faster than a few dozen seconds or tens of minutes but could miss their entire life or other unfortunate traffic participants. Because traffic lights help one person and the other has the right of way to cross the road, the act of crossing the red light has intentionally robbed the right of priority and put them in particularly dangerous situations.

Drive in the opposite direction

Driving in reverse is not only illegal but also very dangerous. Although not often, some drivers often decide to go against traffic to save a few meters. This is especially dangerous when traveling on one-way roads, highways with inherent traffic volumes, and fast traffic without vigilance for “confrontation” cases such as urban roads or 2-way roads.

You can easily see this situation when moving in urban areas but it only causes traffic congestion is the main, not dangerous to others like when driving on the highway.

The lanes on the expressway help to increase the speed of traffic while ensuring safety, but some drivers have the habit of taking priority lanes to run at high speed or overtaking or using the “fast lane”. ”On the far right to run slowly. Some drivers even prefer to travel between two lanes or suddenly change lanes, increasing the risk of accidents on the highway.

Use headlights indiscriminately

Using unnecessary high-beam headlights can help you see a bit further but blind the vehicles traveling in the opposite direction, increasing the chances of a head-on collision. Many drivers even use the headlights even when walking in a street that has been illuminated by the street lights or does not descend when the oncoming vehicle has actively turned on the headlights.

Headlights are born to help drivers better observe when traveling on a deserted road without lights, drivers should lower the lights cos when there are vehicles going in the opposite direction to avoid putting others in dangerous situations.

Abuse Hazard lamp

Harzard lights, also known as priority lights, warning lights, emergency lights which are used in some emergencies mainly stop when the vehicle is in trouble and are blocking the way of other vehicles.
