Highway Safety and Etiquette: Navigating the Fast Lane

1

Driving on highways requires a specific set of skills focused on safety, awareness, and courtesy. The key to safe highway driving is anticipation. Always check your mirrors frequently and signal your intentions well in advance. When changing lanes, execute the maneuver quickly and decisively to minimize the time spent in blind spots.
Maintaining a safe following distance is crucial, especially at high speeds. The “three-second rule” is a good benchmark to ensure you have enough time to react to sudden stops. In adverse weather conditions such as rain or fog, double this distance and reduce your speed accordingly. If you encounter strong crosswinds, keep a firm grip on the steering wheel and make small, corrective adjustments rather than jerking the wheel.
