#3500 lives – what are your tips for safe driving?

All of the above and its important Drive within the conditions and the locality.  60mph it might be on Lincolnshire lanes but doing that speed is potential suicide or murder in a lot of places yet there seem to be a lot of people who think they can drive to that speed regardless of the bends and conditions.  I like classic fm as I am driving although I do remember going a bit faster one day when the Valkyries were on! 

Missed out one of the major problems, driving under the influence of drugs.

I have the same issue when listening to music... not quite the Valkyries, but I try not to listen to heavy metal unless I'm on the motorway 

I think that most of the time lots of us ''THINK'' we are better drivers than we really are, and can react quicker than we really can. But at times it scares the life out of me how close some cars are behind me when I am driving, and wonder if they would be able to stop if I had to stop quickly. But returning to what Rochelle was asking, I think it is excessive speed and not thinking about any other peoples safety. I drove HGV trucks for 44 years without an accident so I must have done something correct.

Not only check your vehicles but also that YOU are fit to drive.

Has age slowed down your reactions too much?

Are you feeling well?

Is your eyesight still good?

As a 'wrinkly' I do find it necessary to check as I would not wish to cause an unnecessary loss of life. I could not live with that.

Use public transport

Given that a relatively small number of accidents are caused by drunk, drugged and distracted drivers, what is being done about the majority of accidents which are caused by sober drivers.

I'm a driver in my 70's but I'm in favour of stringent and regular tests of driving ability, reactions and eyesight.

Roll on autonomous cars 

I like your sense of humour 👍

You are joking aren't you ?? 😳

 As with boating  ,,,Collision avoidance .!!
