2. Signal. Whether you are going to go to the left side, to the right side, move ahead etc. never forget to give a signal that allows the vehicles around you to know which course you will be taking. Signaling is the best communication system that helps reduce possible mishaps.

3. Speed. Drive based on the road conditions permit. NEVER drive faster than that. When passing other cars never go too fast or too slow since this will only cause a danger to others.

2. Space. It is a must to only pass safely when you have enough space. Too little space means endangering your life and others’.

Things to Consider in Buying Luxurious Car

Everyone wants to have their dream ride. Who wouldn’t? When you have enough cash and you think about having a luxurious car of your own, just once in your life, it’s not a sin at all. But you need to consider these following things before buying one so you won’t have regrets in the future.

1. Seat and steering wheel

When you visit the dealer, get behind the wheel and feels what it’s like there. Then think carefully whether the view in front and behind is good enough, or is it comfy for your legs and back, or is it the perfect driving you really like? Don’t hesitate to spend quite a while because you’ll get the real feeling after a while. You’ll be spending most of your time there so it’s important to be comfy all the time.

Take a test drive and feel whether the steer is light or heavy, under high or low speed. Feel whether it’s easy to control or difficult and heavy. If you don’t like it then don’t buy it.
