5 habits of
good drivers

After years of driving, good habits become reflexes. Here are five that nearly all good drivers have, whatever the vehicle.

Check the mirrors constantly

A good driver glances at the mirrors every few seconds, so they always know what's around them. Nothing startles them because nothing takes them by surprise.

Signal early

Signaling isn't a formality, it's a message to others. Early, not at the last moment, so those around you have time to react.

Experience doesn't mean driving faster, it means doing the simple things right, every single time.

Adapt your speed to conditions

The speed limit is a maximum, not an obligation. In rain, fog or heavy traffic, a good driver slows down on their own. In a truck, where mass matters enormously, this is even more important.
