Don't Dream and Drive

Today is Friday, which is the start of a weekend. It's time to relax, think, and dream. However, driving is not a place to dream. Here is what dreaming during driving can cause for driving test applicants, and in general:

Don't Dream and Drive

Dreaming is a wonderful experience - it clears the mind and the soul. However, when it comes to driving, dreaming can be deadly. Even lack of attention for a fraction of a second caused accidents around the world. During the driving test, drivers need to be alert and focused, or the license will get out of their hand. However, some of the examinees are not focused, so they make some mistakes that can cause them the test. Some of these mistakes repeat much more than others.

One situation in which lack of attention is common is lane changing. Some driving students don't focus on their lane change, which makes them signal forever and keep going straight. Sometimes they even forget about their turn signal and don't turn it off. If the student reacts too late and poses a threat, it's probably a test failure.

Dreaming on traffic lights is a very dangerous situation. If an examinee doesn't notice a green light and keeps standing, a minor error can be written for unnecessary stop. If the opposite situation occurs, where a student driver doesn't notice a red light and keeps going, failure is immediate, but the bad feeling lasts much longer.

Another risk caused by traffic lights is red light runners. Some students only notice their light, but pay no attention to other cars. When their light turns green, they only look straight and start going. If a car on the cross road is running a red light, they will probably miss it. This situation caused many accidents in the past. If the student is lucky, he will avoid the runner. If not, the runner will hit him. On both cases, no license will be given to that driver.

Pedestrians on crosswalks are also victims of dreaming drivers. Sometimes drivers don't notice pedestrians on crosswalks and just go ahead without stopping. On the driving test, examinees need to stop for all pedestrians. Missing one for dreaming will cost the entire test, and also a few weeks of waiting for a re-test.

Dreaming and driving is a dangerous situation which ruined many lives. To avoid it, any driver needs practice before going to his test. To get the best possible practice, every driver needs a good guide which will show him the proper way to drive.

You can get a free driving test mistakes course and also a guide about driving on the driving test on the pass your driving test guides area on my site.

Hope you enjoyed the article.

Have a great weekend and great dreams.
