Unfortunately, even strict adherence to the traffic rules does not guarantee 100% safety for the driver. After all, even if you are an ideal driver according to the version of the traffic police examiners, after all, a homegrown racer or a daring “EKHshnik” who does not think about himself or the people around him can always be next to him in the flow ” draw” . One careless move from such a comrade, and now you’re both standing on emergency vehicles, waiting for the traffic police. And it’s okay if you stand and don’t go to the nearest hospital by ambulance.
Another question is that while the risks of an accident can never be reduced to zero, they can still be minimized. How? For example, choosing the “correct” lane – especially if you are walking on a freeway or highway where everyone is flying at “penalty” speeds. Right – not in terms of traffic rules, but in terms of safety. You probably know what place you need to occupy in the car to most likely survive in an accident (right rear). And a row in a stream?
“The most dangerous row is the left one,” you will probably say. And this is not entirely true, but let’s discuss everything in order. Coincidentally, the same riders and “EKHshniki” preferred the extreme left track. They can really, after playing, “catch up”, or cut the vehicle in front, learn a lesson. Yes, and flashing high beams are also annoying and distracting, which doesn’t help improve safety.
In addition, those driving in the left lane are much more likely to be involved in a head-on collision, and this is rightfully considered the worst. Especially, again, if we are talking about high speeds: here, even in front of the hospital, most likely you will not live. Yes, there are barrier gates on suburban highways and freeways. But, firstly, sometimes they do not even store, and secondly, shredders can be installed far from anywhere.
From all this we can conclude that the left lane is really extremely dangerous and it is better, if possible, to lean on it only when you have to make a bend or U-turn, if the traffic rules allow it. But not only the left lane is fraught with danger. No less insidious in this regard is the far right. It’s also not worth going there unnecessarily, and here’s why.
What is the correct row? Even if we are talking about a high-speed road, where there are no pedestrian crossings, traffic lights and other “charms”, these are numerous entrances and exits from interchanges, exits to gas stations and parking lots. Cautious ‘polomy’ also tends to the far right side of the road: a rare driver on the highway dares to climb under the hood or remove the steering wheel, say in the left lane.
If we drive not along the highway, but along the usual suburban highway, there can be many more unpleasant surprises. And prohibiting drivers taking off from a perpendicular road at a traffic light, and drunken pedestrians, and cyclists and scooters – the list goes on and on. So you don’t really relax in the right lane, just as much as in the left lane.
So where do you almost certainly have to go to get to point “B”? On a two-lane road it is better to sit on the right, on a three-lane road in the middle. If there are more rows, choose the one in the middle, but closer to the right. This way you protect yourself against racers, and against frontal collisions, and against pedestrians, and against “polomys”. Do not change lanes unnecessarily: any unnecessary movement increases the risk of an accident. And, of course, pay attention to the speedometer needle.
