Driving is cool because we can go fast than if we walk. But as we go even faster, the question will come whether we are excited with or afraid of high speed. Of course it depends on the speed. But the thing is that with higher speed, there is a risk of higher danger if we hit on something. Higher speed also means longer stopping distance. Higher risk also means that we need to ensure that the brake system is working properly. Without a good breaking system, we may not be able to stop in time and hit the vehicle in front. Higher speed also means less robust in the case of bad weather where the road becomes more slippery and visibility decreases.
Well, having said that, does it mean that we need to go very slow? Slow enough to the point that there is little risk of we hit something? No. First because even when we go slow, there can be other vehicle hitting us from any possible direction. For example, if we are on highway we should not go slow because it will obstruct the way or increases the risk of vehicle hitting us from behind. Third, if we go slow, what is the point of driving? One of our goals to drive is to shorten the traveling time.
So, speed up accordingly. When it is time to slow, slow down in advance instead of jam braking. When it is time to speed up, speed up smoothly instead of jerking. When we are at high speed, remember the speed limit. Empty road does not mean we can speed up even more. We need to remember that the road is not always empty and we need to learn to be content as we know that there will be time when we need to slow down. In any case, remember that panic does not help. Be calm and adjust the speed accordingly.
