  1. Tips to drive safety:

        *  If you’re tired or plan to drive during your usual sleeping hours, drink 2-3 cups of coffee before you leave. American research (1995) showed that this is the amount you’d need to improve your alertness. Caffeine stays in our systems for 6-8 hours.

        * It can be difficult to judge the correct driving distance at high speeds. To check you’re far enough from the car in front on a motorway, count “one second – two seconds” from the moment the car in front passes a tree or call-box. You shouldn’t pass it before two seconds.

        * If you’re towing a caravan or trailer, you must not exceed 60mph on the motorway.

        * Don’t drive too close to cyclists – they may need to move out to avoid a drain or ditch, or turn right at a junction. At night, dip your headlights when you see a cyclist so that their vision is not impaired.

        * All children younger than 12 must legally use a child seat or special seatbelt. Check that yours are using the appropriate type of seat (read more in our child safety section).  


  2. then you'll feel awkward :) and i think irritated :)) because there are many cars and the honking thing
