Staying safe on the highway involves more than just obeying speed limits; it requires a proactive approach to driving. Oleg Shatov, head of the Kazan Higher School of Driving, provides valuable information on how to avoid mass traffic accidents, emphasizing the importance of observation and timely response.
Driving at an optimal speed is critical to recognizing and responding to potential highway hazards. Maintaining optimal speed allows the driver to improve visibility and reaction time. In adverse weather conditions or when visibility is limited, you should reduce your speed in advance.
One of the key aspects of safe driving is the ability to anticipate and quickly respond to unfolding situations. Shatov notes that even when drivers notice that brake lights and hazard warning lights are going off in front of their car, they react with a worrying delay, sometimes as much as six seconds, which can be critical in situations such as an approaching traffic jam or major accident. Predictive braking, initiated at the first sign of potential danger, can help prevent collisions (photo: ru.freepik.com).
While navigation systems are valuable tools for drivers, Shatov highlights a significant drawback. The information provided by navigators may not always be timely or accurate when it comes to predicting upcoming major accidents. Updates often occur with a delay of several minutes, which can be a significant gap in the dynamic driving experience. Relying solely on navigation information may not be sufficient to ensure timely response to rapidly changing road conditions.
