Driving is the action and effect of driving (carrying, transporting, guiding, directing). The term comes from the Latin word conductio and has various applications and uses.
According to abbreviationfinder.org, the conduction of electricity is the transmission of electrical charge through a wire or another body. The concept is used in a similar way to refer to heat conduction.
The driving of a vehicle, on the other hand, refers to the action of making it work in a controlled manner. Every driver is obliged to obey different rules according to the vehicle (which may or may not have an engine), the place and the time in which it is used. For example: “Safe driving of a car involves paying attention to various issues”, “A man was arrested for reckless driving in the heart of the city. “
Most countries require motor vehicle drivers to have a license. To access this license, it is necessary to have a minimum age that is usually set by law and, sometimes, it is also necessary to pass a driving test (which shows that the person has the necessary knowledge to drive a vehicle without putting at risk his life and that of third parties).
Driving regulations vary according to the vehicle: while driving a bicycle does not require more than respecting traffic regulations, the authorities force the use of a helmet to drive a motorcycle and a seat belt in the case of a car. Regardless of the vehicle you want to use, it is essential to maintain sobriety before driving, since alcohol affects your reflexes.
Essential Rules for Safe Driving
At present, the number of traffic accidents is growing alarmingly in many countries, both on the streets and on the highways, and the reasons are diverse. There are certain situations that are repeated in most accidents, and this has led several specialists to make a list of the basic rules to drive safely:
* Respect traffic lights and pay attention to traffic signs. It is worth mentioning that the risk of overlooking this point is greater at night, since driving is faster and with less visibility than during the day;
* Do not park on arterial roads, as this threatens the flow of traffic, generates traffic jams and forces other drivers to change lanes, which increases the chances of rear and side collisions;
* Do not block intersections, to avoid creating congestion, with the consequent loss of time that they cause to other people and the minor accidents that they usually cause, with moderate consequences for health but high for the economy;
* use directional lights, an essential tool to be visible at all times by drivers behind us, and allow them to react appropriately to our movements. On busy avenues, ignoring this rule often causes rear impacts of two or more vehicles;
* Preserve the car in good mechanical condition and be in good health when driving it. It is a fundamental point to minimize the risks of accidents. Some prevention campaigns compare damaged vehicles and sick people at the wheel with loaded weapons, emphasizing that failure to comply with these indications makes us murderers;
* Pick up passengers only in the relevant spaces. This is a point that pedestrians must also comply with, refusing to board a car that has not stopped at an authorized stop;
* never exceed the maximum speed allowed. It is perhaps the basic rule, but one of the most ignored.
