Many factors determine the safety of driving.
In the midst of an often chaotic traffic, plus discipline of other drivers are still low, taking the attitude of "survive" is a much safer option. That's why we must apply defensive driving. Slightly different to driving safely that leads to the ability or skill driving, defensive driving even more leads to behavioral patterns, mental as well as our behavior.
How to apply defensive driving? Here are 10 guidelines that we have to bear in mind because often afflict drivers who do not apply.
1. Never complacent. Driving it should be relaxed, but it must always be vigilant. Monitor continues to vehicles and objects around you. Not only that far ahead, which is also monitored in the back, left and right through the glass mirror.
2. Obey road markings and traffic light. Adjust the rate of your car with the information that was on the side of the road. And be careful when crossing the intersection. When the red light is on, do not break through. Stop behind the white line.
3. Do not fall for inconsiderate motorists. If met with reckless motorists, better yield. Let them pass first, because the most appalling is that we do not know the condition of the driver. It could be, he was emotional, or even being drunk.
4. Do not be emotional. Even if there were overtaken, or someone suddenly honked repeatedly, remain calm. There are millions of reasons that you can not be angry and looking to avoid the dangers that lurk on your own safety.
5. Do not trust other motorists. Although essentially all motorists want to survive, you should not believe that they will also ensure our safety. Remain cautious.
6. Use the safety belt. Do not worry shirt or pants become wrinkled due to stress safety belt. We have to think, this device may reduce the neatness of our clothes will make us safe and alive when the accident occurred. For motorcycle riders, use the helmet properly.
7. Use light sign on fellow rider communication. Make sure the light is bright. If it will turn, not at all hard to turn on the lights so that other motorists know sign you will turn.
8. Remove objects that could potentially interfere with the concentration of driving.Precautions should also be our wake by creating an environment that is conducive to concentration driving. In fact, when there is incoming phone calls when you're driving, do not need to be removed first because it can interfere with concentration.
9. Do not drink intoxicating beverages. Because awareness is very important, avoid drinking intoxicating beverages. In fact, if taking medications that cause drowsiness, you should not drive.
10. Better to wait for passing trains. It happens at the junction of railway track. Many speculate train riders still further when the train will pass the signal sign is off. Wait a few minutes is much better.

Thank you for listing down these guidelines. Road accidents is common, and most of the time the drivers are at fault. Simple safety measures like wearing the seat belt correctly could save a life when the inevitable occurs. And it's funny how some could even bother with the crease it would make on their shirt and pants.
