There are actually some driving mistakes that drivers unconsciously commit which result to road accidents, and worse, fatalities.
Speeding although we all drive fast from time to time, driving very fast all the time might result in an accident. This is one of the most common mistakes of drivers which results in road accidents. In fact, a lot of accidents can be avoided if the drivers are not speeding.
Wrong positioning of mirrors mirrors are great tools in aiding the driver when driving. They are used to see if there are cars behind especially when parking or if there are cars that are overtaking from behind. Most people position their side mirrors in a way that they see their own cars which should not be the case. You do not need to see your own car so you should adjust it to see more of what is behind you.
Using clutch as brake this is applicable to cars with manual transmission. The main purpose of the brake pedal is to stop the car. Most drivers use the clutch pedal as a substitute for the brake. For example, if you would like to make the car stationary, you should not hit on the gas pedal a little and press the clutch, rather you should just simply need to put on your feet on the brake.
Wrong seating position if you think that it is cool to drive a car with only one hand on the wheel while your elbow is sticking out of the window, you are wrong. By doing this, you are decreasing your ability to maneuver when accidents do happen.
Wrong signal This is one of the most common mistakes of drivers. Sometimes, they forget to signal when they are turning.
In case that you noticed that something is wrong with your car, do not drive it, use car shipping and bring to an auto repair shop. Using auto transport will be well worth it.
