A habit that is considered quite hazardous and annoying is driving too close to a vehicle in front of you. The distances you need to be able to brake safely in the event of an emergency are well known and yet you do see so many drivers ignoring these. If you stand by the side of a speedy road you are going to actually experience the speed of the vehicles going past which is something you do not always feel when you are driving. Not only will you provoke the driver in front of you, they could make a dangerous decision to try to get out of the way. When you drive at a standard speed, you are likely to get there at the same amount of time as if you were speeding.

Another thing that may be detrimental is being impatient while driving and getting angry with other drivers. Being angry whenever you drive could contribute to a confrontation with another driver or can cause you to lose focus. It is imperative that you steer clear of any type of distractions while driving like texting, talking on your phone, reading a book or watching your favorite videos. A person has to be very brainless to not realize how dangerous these distractions are but people do these things all the time.
In the event you improve some of your terrible driving habits, you will be able to be a safe driver on the road and you will be able to have a long and healthy life.
