Here are a few mistakes to avoid on the road;<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Driving on the right lane the whole time<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In Kenya, you are required to stay on the left lane, which is designed to be the primary driving lane, and move into the right to overtake someone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Stopping abruptly without warning<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This tends to be one of the leading causes of accidents. You should always be aware of the cars behind you, stopping slowly and carefully and giving other drivers time to react and adjust.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Bad seating position<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Comfort while driving is important as sitting too far back behind the wheel, or in positions that compromise control of the vehicle could slow down reaction time and affect visibility. We advise drivers to sit upright and keep both hands on the steering wheel at all times. This will help you stay alert and in control.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Using your phone<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe you’re sending a text or finally have a moment to answer a call, but this is dangerous and a common sight. As a result, cars now have in-built features like voice recognition that allows you to talk and text while complying with hands-free laws. If you are more focused on your conversation than on your surroundings, your reaction time could suffer.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Forgetting to use indicators lights<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Using the indicator when changing lanes or turning a corner is not just good driving etiquette \u2013 it\u2019s a critical safety feature that informs other motorists of your intentions. When drivers beside or behind us are unaware of the changes you are making on the road, they are forced to react to those actions without warning \u2013 and this is a recipe for accidents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
