In some places you will find STOP signs on one side of the intersection but no signal control for the cross traffic. In this case, you have to remain STOPPED until all cross traffic is gone. At T-intersections, vehicles on the through road have the right-of-way.

However, do not always insist on others going ahead of you. If another vehicle expects you to take your legal turn, you may delay traffic by stopping or slowing unnecessarily to allow another vehicle to go ahead of you.

At intersections without STOP or YIELD signs (uncontrolled intersection), slow down & prepare to stop. Yield to vehicles already in or entering in front of you. Always yield to cars that arrived first. If you and another driver reach at the same time, yield to cars on your right.

[J & K Driving School @JKDrivingUganda]

When a driver is legally required to yield but fails, other drivers are required to stop or yield as necessary for safety. So, if another driver does not yield to you when he or she should, forget it. Let the other driver go first. You will help prevent accidents and save lives.

Always yield to the car that arrived first. If you & another driver reach the intersection at the same time, yield if the car is on your right. Stop if two vehicles reach the intersection simultaneously, the vehicle on the left must yield to the vehicle on the right.

[J & K Driving School @JKDrivingUganda]

Right-of-way rules help people drive safely. These go along with courtesy and common sense. Cyclists, riders, & pedestrians must follow them. Never insist on taking the right-of-way. Note that, the law does not allow anyone the right-of-way. It only states who must yield.

Multitasking is a myth!

Have you ever noticed when you're on the phone and watching a film, you simply can't give both your full attention? That's becuase the brain cannot focus on more than one cognitively demanding task at a time. Now imagine dangers caused behind the wheel...

[J & K Driving School @JKDrivingUganda]

Multitasking & driving don’t mix! Even for skilled experienced drivers, driving safely requires that you use most, if not all of your mental capacity.

Your brain cannot do two mentally demanding tasks at the same time, as it doesn’t take much for your driving to be distracted.

12. Accessorize.

If you’re going to make a call (which should only be for emergencies), use a bluetooth device so your hands are free (some states require this by law). Accessories such as car bluetooth are still dangerous, so use sparingly.

Driving while highly emotional can be extremely dangerous. And don’t use car time for serious conversations with passengers. Wait until you can give each other the attention the situation deserves.

Try using your commute as a mini getaway from it all. No emails, phone calls, or deadlines. Just the open road. If that open road is actually a jam and your emotions rise, allow yourself cool-off time on the side of the road or at an exit.

11. Embrace alone time. And drive with a cool mind.

Smartphones have set expectations that we’re always reachable. Now, with unrealistic time demands, interconnectivity, and entertainment at our fingertips, we struggle with alone and quiet time.

9. Leave the dressing room & kitchen at home.

People are using their cars as the place to finish getting ready. 18% of drivers admit to grooming while behind the wheel. 12% say they’ve changed clothes while driving. Vehicles are for transport, not for extending morning routines.

7. Remember you’re not the exception.
It’s easy to think, “Other people can’t multitask, but I can, just for a second.” This is the phone addiction talking. You’re not the exception. Nobody is. If you’ve multitasked or texted while driving before you’ve just been lucky.

6. Limit passengers & pets.

Sometimes lugging around pets & kids in the car is inevitable. So for their safety and to limit the distractions they’ll cause, buckle children in their child safety seats or car seats, and secure pets in harnesses or crates.

3. Create a quick pre-driving ritual. (And stick to it.)

Seatbelt, mirrors, music. Whatever you need for your drive, set it up before you shift out of park. It’ll become second nature before you know it.

2. Scout your trip before you leave.

If you don’t know directions to where you’re going, look them up ahead of time to have a general idea of your driving route. Looking up directions while you’re on the road is the equivalent to texting and driving.

Breaking habits is hard. We get it. But we also know it’s possible. Figure out what works for you and stick to it. Simply always pay attention while driving. Commit to phone-free driving. Store it in the glove box, trunk, or wherever it won’t tease you.

Good defensive drivers try to avoid traffic citations. A traffic ticket or an express penalty is often an indicator of poor driving habits. Tickets often result in court costs and increased auto insurance rates.

Defensive driving is a matter of safety minded attitude, good driving skills, maturity & courtesy. Its understanding & obeying traffic rules & an effort to improve driving skills. Its being alert to perceive potential driving hazards for sound judgement.
