By regularly checking your speedometer, removing distractions, and using tools like cruise control and GPS monitoring, you can ensure a smoother and safer driving experience.

Speed monitoring systems can help maintain speed by providing real-time data and alerts. These systems coordinate with websites to track your speed and notify you when you exceed limits. GPS systems are usually accurate within 1 km/h and can be a valuable tool for staying within legal speed limits.

Speed limit signs provide guidance on the maximum speed allowed in various areas. Since memorizing all speed limits can be challenging, make it a habit to glance at posted signs regularly. These signs are typically placed at strategic points where speed limits change. Staying alert and sober will help you check these signs, along with your mirrors and speedometer, to ensure you are within legal limits

You can feel the car’s acceleration through your seat. Adjust your seat to a comfortable position where you can feel the car’s movement. A steady, constant pressure on the accelerator helps maintain a consistent speed.

It’s important to drive at your own safe pace rather than trying to keep up with faster drivers. Speeding does not indicate experience or skill; it’s better to drive at a speed that feels comfortable and safe for you, as long as it doesn’t inconvenience other drivers

When running late, the temptation to speed can be overwhelming. To avoid this, plan to leave home a few minutes earlier. Estimate your journey time based on average travel conditions rather than maximum speed.

Distractions are a major cause of accidents, according to the US Department of Transportation. Distracted drivers are more likely to exceed speed limits and cause collisions. Ensure your phone is not in your hand while driving

Cruise control is an excellent tool for maintaining the correct speed, especially on long drives. Most modern cars come equipped with cruise control, which is ideal for speeds between 50 and 70 miles per hour.
