Driving Safety Tips, Every Responsible Motorist Should Know  

One of the best ways to explore this amazing nation is by traveling the roads of the USA. Going on the open road in the US is a truly satisfying experience, whether you’re exploring a state like California, going on a classic road trip like Route 66, or even thoroughly exploring a piece of the Pacific Coast Highway. Driving safely should always be your primary priority, whether on a bike, alone or with people. The fundamentals of safe driving must be understood and put into practice every time you are on the road because distractions are more prevalent than ever. In this blog, our Red Dirt Motorcycle Company team has put together driving safety tips every responsible motorist should know.   

Top Driving Safety Tips  

  1. Focus on driving

  1. Defensive driving  

Be mindful of what other drivers are doing around you, and prepare for the unexpected. Always be ready to dodge anything insane other drivers might do by making the assumption that they will. Maintain a 2-second distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you.  

  1. Make a safe driving plan.  

Include time in your travel itinerary to stop for meals, rest stops, phone calls, or other obligations. Before shifting into gear, adjust your seat, mirrors, and climate controls. To eat or drink, stop. It simply takes a short while.
