Do not drive if you drink alcohol or with a hangover

If you go to bed drunk, your body almost does not metabolize blood alcohol, so when you wake up, you will be almost as drunk; do not drive. In addition, we remind you that it is not necessary to be too drunk to have a traffic accident; even if you have consumed little alcohol, it produces disinhibition, that is, "you dare to everything". Beware of “non-alcoholic” drinks, they really have it, in amounts of 1%, but if you take several… Note that: Alcohol consumed during meals also affects, perhaps a little less, but very little, so do not drive. There are no tricks to cheat in a breathalyzer test: not running, drinking water, candy, or eating grass! Try, if you go out several friends to have drinks at night, that one of you does not drink, so that it is he who drives later. Never ride a passenger in a vehicle, if you notice that the driver is under the influence of alcohol. It may be funny at the moment, but the consequences can be deadly. Energy drinks do not counteract the effects of alcohol; You may feel more awake but, after all, you are drunk. Are you looking to pass your driving test as quickly as possible?

How to stop when there is ice on the road

Do you know how to slow down if you find snow or ice on the road? Should you always brake with the engine making sharp reductions? The answer is no. The engine brake must be used to keep a reduced speed constant and adapted to the conditions of adherence, but to brake, we must use the foot brake gently. It is better to use the foot brake because, with it, we brake 4 wheels and not two and, in addition, the braking aids are connected. Eye to speeding With snow or ice, the speed must be greatly reduced because there is hardly any adhesion of the vehicle to the pavement. Remember that the braking distance can be increased up to 8-10 times more than usual, that is, we can go from needing 40 meters to stop our tourism if we drive at 90 km / h, to need 400 meters! What gear should I choose to drive? A march that does not force you to be continuously braking or accelerating, will depend a lot on the situation, although, preferably, it cuts, to use the engine as a brake simply when decelerating, and a long one to start the march; the second is generally the most appropriate.

At the wheel, wide awake

In addition to the consumption of some medications, such as antihistamines, there are some situations that favor drowsiness at the wheel. Here are some recommendations: Driving between 3:00 am and 5:00 am in the morning and between 14:00 h and 16:00 h is dangerous because it is the hours of greatest risk, because our biorhythms are lowest. Sleeping fewer hours than usual does not help, as well as having poor quality sleep or suffering from sleep disorders such as apnea or narcolepsy. It should also be noted that not all people are equal. Many are more active in the morning (morning people) and others are in the afternoon (evening), so their care regime will also be modified. If we add to that a monotonous traffic situation, such as a traffic jam, or night driving on a fast road with little traffic, we will have a perfect scenario for drowsiness to appear. The consumption of certain medications, such as antihistamines, can cause drowsiness at the wheel. Try to avoid them if you are going to drive, as well as the excess heating that numbs.

Tips for Driving with Rain

If you have to move in the rain, it does not hurt to take into account some recommendations for driving in the rain. Increase the safety distance, at least 3 seconds with the vehicle in front. On rainy days the car's brakes do not react the same and it is advisable to distance twice the usual distance. Be careful and do not step on the white lines, since the grip of the tires on this surface is less than that of the asphalt. Check the tire pressure (if we replace only two, we will install them on the rear axle). Check the condition of the tires, keep in mind that if the tracks of the tires are not able to evacuate all the water accumulated in the tread, it could cause you a loss of adhesion producing the aquaplaning effect. The minimum depth of the tire groove should be 1.6 mm. Brake occasionally to cause friction and keep the brakes dry. Do not wear warm clothes when driving. You will avoid the known "underwater effect". Do not drink any alcohol, even in small quantities. If you do it you will increase the possibility of suffering an accident, since you will add more loss of control and risk perception, which already exists due to weather conditions. Turning on the road light is not highly recommended, although it is mandatory on interurban roads, poorly lit when we drive at more than 40km/h (and do not dazzle). Do not keep the rear fog lamp on in retentions, village roads at low speed because it is very dazzling. Keep the wiper blades in good condition. The brushes are one of the elements that we care less when maintaining the vehicle and are essential for good vision in case of driving with rain or snow. Manufacturers recommend changing brushes if they are chopped or in poor condition and in any way periodically every year or every 15,000 km. Use the aerators directed towards the windshield to prevent fogging. Are you looking to pass your driving test as quickly as possible? At A-Class Driving School we can help.

Tips to avoid fogging your vehicle's windows

We give you some tips to avoid fogging your vehicle's windows. Open the windows as soon as you get in the car. Although it is cold it is the same temperature inside as outside. Connect the thermal window. Start the engine and connect the heating, with the aerators directed to the windows. When 5 or 10 minutes have passed, go up the windows little by little as you notice that the air is hot. Keep the aerators to a minimum.

What to do when we drive under a thunderstorm
