The beginning of an exponential rise in car technology began with cruise control, which is the ability for cars to maintain the designated speed. This has significantly improved safety on highways and motorways for those drivers who have a long journey. It has allowed drivers to feel more comfortable behind the wheel, and feel assured that the speed they are travelling is continually correct. The pressure of having to maintain a set speed for an elongated period of time, can induce discomfort or leg cramps.
With technology playing a part to reduce human error, we must remind ourselves of the safety precautions we are responsible for as a driver. Regardless of your experience, the concept of safety should be frequently revisited. Experienced drivers at times can become complacent in their abilities as a driver and potentially disregard safety rules. Onroad Driving Education is currently providing a Driver Safety Course, aimed at all drivers regardless of their experience. During lockdown, use code “LOCKDOWN70” to receive 70% off!
