1-)WORTHY OF NOTICE WHILE DRIVING

Please remember that the first rain the roads are slippery. At the end of the summer and the beginning of Autumn, please be very careful about the first rains. In this time of the year, the remains on the tires from rubbing on the hot and dry road for a very long time and drops of oil from the vehicles combine with the dust form a layer over the asphalt and this layer get slippery with the first rain. Please do not ignore this situation.
In a road with new asphalt, little rocks (stone chips) are not placed properly yet. Therefore do not forget that the vehicle in front may always throw rocks at any moment. Please make sure that your distance from vehicle in the front is secure.
We have learned that some drivers are shifting the gear to neutral while driving for fuel saving. This attitude is totally wrong, you cannot make any fuel conservation by this way, and moreover this increases the fuel consumption.
When you park your car, please make sure that you turn off your headlights because leaving the headlights open while the car is not working empties the battery.
In uncontrolled junctions, right of way belongs to the vehicle which comes from your right.
When you overtake; first control your back from your rear view window but keep this tracking until you are completely sure. That is because; there is an angle which we call black spot that cannot be seen despite you controlling your back from rear view and upper driving window. Therefore please do not rush. Complete all of the controls and then make a move by lighting your left blinker.

2-)THE MOST IDEAL DRIVING TECHNIQUES

First of all try to know your vehicle and learn which equipment is where and make sure you learned these well. While you hold the steering wheel, make sure that your hands are in the position of 9:15. When you begin to drive, focus completely on the road. While you wait for traffic lights, make sure that your takeoff gear is on 1. If you make your takeoff with a possible different gear, this could cause your vehicle to stop.

When you are en route in traffic, always control your distance from the vehicle in the front. Calculate your stopping distance as 3 seconds in dry roads and 6 seconds in slippery roads. Do not forget that in the case the vehicle in front applies the brakes all of a sudden; your vehicle crashing that vehicle from the back will make you faulty. One of the most important subjects regarding ideal driving is to use cyclic car.

You should implement the upshift action on the appropriate speed. When you upshift, do not drive in low-speed. Stepping on the gas for increasing the speed suddenly or applying brake to stop suddenly is both risky and increases the fuel consumption.
Always take notice of the traffic signs. Please take care of keeping your maximum speed within the limits stated in traffic signs.

Do not forget; in the case you are liable to traffic ticket by exceeding speed limits, you will pay for those tickets.
