There are so many accidents on our motorways every year and many of them can be avoided by simply paying attention and being aware of what is happening around you.
Here is a list of hints and tips for making driving on the motorways safer for everyone.
When you enter a motorway, make sure to accelerate on the slip road to the same speed as the cars on the motorway, this will help you enter the stream of traffic without causing a disruption.
Always stay in the left lane unless overtaking. One of the major reasons for congestion is that people drive too slowly in the centre or outer lanes of the motorway.
Always check your blind spots and mirrors when changing lanes, it seems very obvious, but many incidents could have been avoided if the drivers involved actually checked the relevant spots properly.
Do not drive parallel to other vehicles for long periods of time. You may be in their blind spot.
When coming to the end of a tail back signal the fact that you are slowing to a halt by using your hazard lights.
