There are many factors that can cause an accident while driving on the road . Even a driver with good driving skills can not guarantee that they will not be involved in an accident . This is because the other car could also be the cause of the accident .
Therefore , to prevent unexpected events on the road it is wise to pay attention to driving smart guide 10 which is also known as defensive driving .
1 . Perform initial inspection of the vehicle prior to engine start include checking the indicator lights , body condition , tire pressure , checking the bottom to check for oil leaks , including brake fluid .
2 . Heavy load in the car can also affect fuel consumption . It 's good to remove unnecessary items from the car . If there is a roof rack on the car and not being used should be removed . However , if you use it to bring the goods should be driving at a low speed in order to avoid falling luggage .
3 . Be sure to use a seat belt (safety belt ) and do not forget to tighten. Because it can protect the user from injury is more severe when the accident occurred . How to wear a safety belt properly is cross the safety belt from the shoulder to the hip bone because the bone is the second strongest in the human body . "Most people use a safety belt with a reason to avoid a speeding ticket from the police officer sanctions . Fact , this device is very important , " said Agung Bintarto , President Director cum Instructor Indonesia Defensive Driving Center .
4 . Adjust the position of the rear view and side so the driver can see all angles optimally . Because , every car must have a blind spot area ( the area that is not visible driver ) , you should do a head check or turn his head for a moment before moving on track or spinning .
5 . For this fifth point concerns the mastery of steering . " Ideal position at the wheel , put both hands are in the position of 3 o'clock and 9 because it is safe , if an accident airbags ( airbags) will inflate between the two hands . Moreover, it can turn on the turn signal and wiper levers with fingers instead of by hand , " Bintarto added .
6 . Eliminate bad habits such as smoking while driving , receiving phone calls , eating , drinking or even talking . Because when it's done driving may cause distraction . But , if you want to do so , the driver should stop at a safe place or make sure your mobile phone is connected with the hands- free .
7 . While driving is recommended to keep a safe distance . Defensive driver always provides a space between the car in front, side and rear . In this case , do not follow too closely because we never know what will happen then . The more space the more time available to react . " Keeping a safe distance between vehicles when in tandem is 3 seconds , " said Bintarto .
8 . Transmission gear operating techniques . Although your car is already implementing technology -friendly fuel if the character did not ensure that the driver was driving mostly bad . Gasoline engine with an average working optimally in round 2000-2500 rpm . Therefore , during a shift should be done at a distance of 2,000 rpm to 2,500 rpm .
9 . Then , related to fuel efficiency . The momentum of the vehicle is worth paying attention . For example , when it will approach the intersection or junction traffic lights , should lift the foot off the accelerator early and let the car glide before stepping on the brake pedal . It is claimed to save fuel consumption of your car .
10 . Finally, turn off the engine when stopped and paused for more than 20 seconds ( but the conditions must be in the condition of the engine easy to start ) . Therefore , machines that live in conditions such long silence 3 minutes just as you travel as far as 1 km at a constant speed of 50 km / hour .
