Rubbernecking
We all experience it regularly when people start slowing down their vehicles just to see a road accident or a brawl on a side of the road. It is called Rubbernecking; This rubbernecking is usual everywhere in the World. The annoying thing about it is it slows down the traffic, and sometimes it makes it worse. Please mind your business and leave a way for others because it only makes the situation worse.
Frequent pressing the Horn
We all get annoyed and hate when someone just honks the horn frequently on the road, which causes a panic situation. Some people do it because they are in a hurry while some people do it for fun. While it is strictly unethical and against the rules when you just use your horn like a drum and keep pressing to create a fuss on the road.
Even when you leave their way, they still press the horn because of a long-term habit, which provokes the other commuters. Please do not do that.
Forgetting Indicator lights
Some people never use indicator lights before taking a turn which causes problems for the following vehicle. It causes accidents since the following commuter has no idea that the next vehicle would suddenly turn.
Slow driving on a fast lane
Another most irritating thing is when some people drive slowly on a fast lane that causes irritation for the fast drivers and could also lead to road accidents. That is why you need to know the road rules.
High beams/LED Lights
You use high beams especially LED headlights, you dazzle the drivers of the opposite lane. It is a grave thing that causes the drivers to close their eyes since they can’t see anything. It is like a sun is approaching you. Can you have a staring contest with the Sun? That’s how it feels.
Tailgating
Some people stick their vehicles right behind the next vehicle to overtake them, and it is one of the most annoying things you experience on roads. It also contributes to road accidents. Impatient attitude leads to severe and irreparable consequences.
Stopping the vehicle right on zebra crossing
Some people do not have awareness about zebra crossing lines. They stop their vehicles right on them, which obstructs the way of pedestrians who cross the road during the red light.
Avoiding pedestrian bridge
Some people avoid pedestrian bridges just because they assume that it would waste their time using that bridge. They just jump on the road, which increases the chances of road accidents. Always remember one thing, those pedestrian bridges are supposed to avoid road accidents, you avoid them, you get yourself into trouble.
Conclusion
Road safety depends upon the actions that we take. If we make mistakes, they can cost us a lot. None of us wants to face a grave situation by doing the above foolish things that were described. We need to be law-abiding citizens to save not just our but also others’ lives.
