Motorway Driving Lessons - Check the Motorway Signs

People often forget that road signs aren’t just there to point us in the direction we’re trying to go. They are there for a reason and are design to be read. Many signs worldwide are design to help drivers understand what they’re doing. These are known as directional signs. So, for example, a roundabout sign might have arrows to indicate what lane to take into the roundabout and what direction to exit the roundabout.

Motorway Driving Lessons - How to Survive on Motorways

On the motorway, drivers can’t always choose the fastest route, but they can choose whether to drive too slowly. This doesn’t mean they have to speed; they must decide to slow down when they have a choice. If we’re face with a choice between taking a longer route and going much faster. We’re more likely to take the slower route. This isn’t because we’re lazy; it’s because the slow route is safer. The speed we go depends on the road we have chosen, the traffic in the area, and our driving skill and experience.

When driving on a highway, you should always assume that traffic will always be heavy and be prepared for it. The next time you’re driving on a highway, try taking a deep breath and reminding yourself that you’re safe and have all the time in the world to make it there.

Motorway Driving Lessons - The Most Dangerous Motorway Intersections

If you are prepare, five common dangers at highway intersections could cause severe accidents.

1) Motorists who don’t stop at stop signs or red lights.

2) Speeding cars or trucks.

3) Left turns red.

4) Right turns on red.

5) Drivers who fail to yield to pedestrians.

While all of these are deadly, the worst one for motorcyclists is the right turn on red. A right turn on red is often take by motorists who have just passe the left-turn signal but are waiting for it to turn green. As a result, the car behind them doesn’t have time to react, causing a collision with the motorcycle. These dangerous situations can be prevente through road signs and good driving habits.

The top four most dangerous places are the junction where the M4 meets the M5 and the M42 in Birmingham. The Junction of the M6 in Staffordshire and the M62 junction near the village of Leek. Also, the Junction of the M4 in Somerset and the M5 junction in Wiltshire. This is because drivers are most likely to make risky decisions if they drive too fast, in too much traffic, or under high stress.

One of the most dangerous driving situations occurs when a car is changing lanes without using a turn signal. Studies have found that drivers who change lanes without signalling have a crash rate three times higher than drivers who use a turn signal.
