slow down any time there is a blind spot anywhere, it doesn't matter how clear you think the way will be, you won't have time to react for the unexpected, this is why similarly you should stay as far back from the cars in front of you as you reasonably can.

MarkR

Stealth mode (driving with no lights in poor conditions) is not cool. There is a massive difference in your visibility with / without lights on, particularly when it is raining. Parking lights are not suitable for driving with in heavy rain, no matter how cool your fog lights look with them.

'Driving slower on country roads'. No hard braking and acceleration needed, and saving on your tyres, deisel, and most likely lives

Myrddin

Concentrate on what you're doing, be aware of what's going on around you.

earlyapex

Be aware of and check your blindspots before maneuvres.

No matter how quick you think it is to check your phone for a text or take a call, even in a split second anything could happen. It's not worth it!

slow down

Skrynesaver

Rain after a dry period makes for a very slick surface, double your expectations of braking time and allow a suitable distance to stop.

Auscast

If you're driving in Europe (like I was a few weeks ago) with a car full of precious family, you can sometimes be distracted by the kids, making driving on the other side of the road dangerous, especially coming out of service stations or onto roundabouts etc.
So my top tip is to attach a small (A5) size piece of paper or card behind your steering wheel on your dashboard with an arrow pointing to the right. The image will reflect up into your windscreen (like a HUD) and be a constant reminder of which side of the road you should be driving on.

When passing a cyclist make sure to give them plenty of room.

Slow down!
If driving abroad, familiarise yourself with the road signs and rules of the road in other countries.......and stick to the proper side of the road!

remeneerb

Always keep a safe distance between yourself and the car ahead as you need enough time to react if that car suddenly swerves, stops or turns - never tailgate!

magicray

Always leave a decent distance between you and the car in front, lots of accidents would be prevented if everyone followed this rule  

challengemaster

The tyres are the only thing in contact with the road, hence they're the most important part of your vehicle. Don't buy cheap rubbish, and keep an eye on them (wear, pressures, etc). 

Ciano35

Plan your journey and be prepared for the unexpected.

Turn your phone off. You won't miss anything important enough to risk your life.

arodabomb

Just chill out. You're not going to get there any/much quicker swerving around bikes/peds/slow moving vehicles.

If somebody's doing something crazy up ahead, there's probably a reason for it. Again chill out. The amount of times  I've had to stop because somebody came out wrong/down the wrong way etc, and then somebody else has seen that I'm stopped, assumed I'm doing so for no reason, swerved around me and nearly killed someone.

On a cold morning, give yourself a few minutes for the windows to defrost/ clear.. It's much easier to see where you're going!

Make sure your insurance policy covers you for driving abroad. If you are hiring a car take out Fully insurance for peace of mind.

toyotaavensis

or take out car hire excess insurance for a fraction of the cost

whiteandlight

When driving abroad "on the wrong side", always do a double check at traffic light and cross roads/t junctions that you are crossing to the correct side of the road. This is particularly important when there are no cars in the lane to remind you

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

What more can be said? It's all of the above.

Beebeefly

Don't tail gate!! Leave lots of space between you and the car in front ! 

Digy123

Make sure you are well rested. You could take all the safety precautions in the world....only to fall asleep at the wheel. 

Diane Selwyn

you have a higher chance of having an accident within 5kms of your home (or so I've been lead to believe) so stay focussed and don't assume you can relax your concentration because you know the area. 

Mr Keek

Be conscious of driving the morning after the night before, you may be still over the limit, you will be tired an less alert.

Throw a roll of toilet paper in the boot, you never know when nature calls!

thehairyone

Always make sure you are well rested before any trip

Murray007

Use the overtaking lane to overtake, don't use it for driving along at a low speed while having no idea what's going on behind you.

Murray007

NEVER use your mobile phone when driving, it is so obvious to someone driving behind you cause of the erratic driving.
