How to be an excellent driver?

What are the important things to remember when driving?

stay alert, obey the traffic laws, do not let other things or people distract you.

Know where you are with regards to surrounding traffic, and try to leave yourself an out just in case you need to make an emergency move.

Follow those rules and you should be OK.

Assume every other driver on the road is an idiot who wants to crash into you and make it your fault so they can sue you. It works for me, no accidents or tickets in twenty years. By the way, the assumption happens to be true, more or less.

Good answers so far, and, I would add, drive the speed limit and use your common sense. So many people drive too fast, don't be like them, Obey the speed limit and always be respectful of police officers, if a situation occurs with them, like road work direction and so on. Take care and buckle up!

Todd 212 pretty much covered everything.... Good comments by all... but I have one more.

Don't ever "fight" with something bigger than you.... ie: Truck, Train, SUV, whatever!!! Remember, you may be right, but by taking the right of way, you could end up "dead" right. Keep alert.

Happy Motoring... :-}

Be alert,know your car,don't drink and drive. Pay attention and don't be distracted while driving.Speeding does not get you there any quicker. Know the rules of the road.Don't assume anything about what another driver around you might do. Be defensive.

practice makes 'perfect'...be a defensive driver always..keep your cool and wear your seatbelt always..don't drink and drive...

happy driving! ;)

If I were to try to answer this with one statement, it would be this:

Driving should be a full-time activity for the driver. NOTHING is more important for the driver than the safe operation of the vehicle. Not crying children. Not lunch. Not listening to the radio. Not ANY possible cell phone conversation. Not even a conversation with a passenger.

An acrobat walking a tightrope would not let anything distract them from the task at hand. Driving a car is much more dangerous to the driver and to everyone else in the immediate area.
