Different driving conditions require adjustments to driving behaviour. Various factors, such as alcohol, mobile phone use, fatigue, stress, and emotions, can severely affect driving safety.

Avoid Alcohol and Mobile Phones:

• Drinking and using mobile phones can significantly impair driving skills. Engaging in intense phone calls or consuming alcohol can negatively impact a driver's ability to operate a vehicle safely.

Manage Emotions and Distractions:

• Emotions like worry, anger, fear, depression, or even extreme excitement can impair driving. It's essential to address these feelings before driving.
• If informed of an emergency or after a confrontation, take a moment to calm down. Close your eyes, take deep breaths, and relax. If emotions persist, take a short walk or have a non-alcoholic drink, and stay off the road until you feel more settled.

Behaviour and Reaction:

• A driver's behaviour includes their actions and reactions to events on the road. Staying calm and focused helps make better decisions and respond appropriately to road conditions.

By recognizing and managing these factors, drivers can ensure safer driving practices and reduce the risk of accidents.

Several behavioural aspects differentiate an excellent driver from a poor one.

A Good Driver:

• Stays Calm: Remains relaxed and composed while driving.
• Patient: Exhibits patience in all situations.
• Considerate: Takes other road users into account.
• Emotionally Controlled: Manages emotions effectively.
• Knowledgeable: Understands and follows traffic rules and safe driving practices.

A Poor Driver:

• Reckless Driving: Drives carelessly and at excessive speeds.
• Aggressive and Competitive: Displays aggression and competitiveness on the road.
• Risk-Taker: Takes unnecessary risks.
• Easily Distracted: Fails to maintain focus on driving due to distractions.
