It's finally summertime in Australia, and you must be all prepped up for your summer adventures.
The excitement is sure to double up if it is a road trip and you have already got your p-plate!
Well, for a leaner who has just got the L plate and yet to get the P-plate must be aware of the primary road safety rules they have to follow while driving. However, even for those who have just got their p-plate, driving in summer becomes challenging.
People stay in a holiday mood. And, according to the seasoned instructors of the driving school in Blacktown, around 10% of the people remain distracted while driving in summer than any other season. And, for the new drivers the confidence (rather overconfidence), the distractions are even more in number.
So, here are some rules that you have to follow to make sure the standards of road safety are appropriately met.
- Keep your Phone Out of Reach
Mobile phones are always the biggest distraction. While driving, a simple phone call turns out to be a life risk not only for you but the ones who are at the backseat. So, keep your phone out of reach and stow it with the ‘do not disturb’ mode turned on. The temptation of using it may cause a problem that you might not have anticipated.
- Check the Capability of your Roof Rack
If you are going out for camping this summer, you must be carrying a cycle along with you on the roof of your vehicle. That’s a good idea indeed only if you don’t forget to check the weight and height limit of the roof rack of your car. So, be careful.
- Don’t Drink and Drive
The most significant offence or safety hazard you can actually do to yourself is driving after getting drunk. Ask your instructor from a driving school in Hornsby, and you will know that according to the BAC (blood alcohol concentration) regulations, any driver above or below 18 years with L or P plate driving license, the rate needs to be 0.00 which means you are not allowed to drink and drive under any circumstances.
There can be a straight case of license cancellation and a considerable amount of fine you ought to bear. And, above all, it is a significant compromise on road safety. So, no matter how much your mates woo you to drink, don't fell in the trap.
Final Words
Remember that problems do not only occur because you were not following the rules or you are distracted. It can happen as a result of the other drivers' casual attitude. But, while on the road in summer, especially on the holidays, you have to be extremely cautious and careful about staying safe.
