Driving Tips
Some rules of the road also apply to life.
If the goal when driving is to arrive safely and enjoy the ride, the same general rules will apply to both driving and life. It is important to know the rules, and to follow them in order to minimize hazards. We can’t eliminate risk in either driving or in life because it is an inherent part of both. Accidents and injury are likely due to the inherently dangerous nature of living.
With that being said, here are my tips for driving:
- Watch your speed — don’t make sudden starts or stops. As in life, making hasty moves that are not well thought out can lead to unwanted outcomes.
2. Keep your eyes on the road. We must pay close attention to what we are doing and where we are going in life.
3. Don’t drive with your hands on the rearview mirror. What is behind you is only minimally helpful in getting you to your destination.
4. Stay in your own lane. This relates to minding our own business and staying out of others’ way.
5. Pass with care. While you should mostly stay in your lane, passing is sometimes necessary and must be done carefully. Don’t step on people.
6. Don’t ignore the signs. Road signs are everywhere and are quite obvious. The signs we see in life aren’t always so…
