Protecting Your Reputation As A Skilled Driver
Posted by admin at 10 March 2020, at 11 : 15 AM
If you’re a car enthusiast, count yourself in the minority of drivers. For the most part, millions of people use their car as merely a vessel that transports them from A to B. You, however, appreciate everything about cars. You appreciate the time it takes to design cars, both externally and internally. You may also love the history of cars, especially certain brands that you have a greater affection for. Many things such as these, will put you in the mindset of driving well whenever you’re behind the wheel. You take pride in being able to drive to a higher skill level than those around you. And yet, you are surrounded by lesser drivers for the most part. In a world full of dangers, how can you protect your reputation as a great driver?
The third eye
There’s been some discussion lately, about fitting dash cams to cars as standard. Many people believe it’s only a matter of time before manufacturers start including dash cams as an additional feature that buyers can choose to have as part of their package. The reason for this is, dashcams can be the ultimate truth when it comes to car accidents. You can show that you are the victim of a road rage incident due to everything being caught on camera. If another irate and dangerous driver tries to brake check you, you will record their number plate and their actions on camera in ultra high-quality. A dashcam will act as your third eye, always watching out for you.
A certified skill
Being more skilled behind the wheel is more than just a practical feat. you will be seen as the more responsible, dedicated and mature driver in almost any situation. If you’re ever involved in a crash, the police officer that files the report will make a note of your credentials if you are an advanced driver. Taking advanced driving classes is therefore definitely something you should consider doing. You will learn how to control high-performance cars, know how to handle a car in perilous conditions and learn more about the physics of car control. If you pass this kind of course, you will be given a certificate by the school which you will have pinned to your driver’s record. If and or when you need to prove you are a safe and skilled driver, you can present this certificate and give your argument more weight to the police or court of law.
Refer to the facts
Being involved in any kind of car accident is troubling, but being involved in a physically harmful crash is another kettle of fish. If you know you’re completely innocent yet the other part of an accident you were involved in is trying to claim negligence, refer to your Accident Report which you can access online. Type in the city and ZIP code of where the accident happened, your car manufacturer, accident date and year your car was built. You will be able to use the police officer’s report to back your claim.
A reputation takes years to make but only takes a few days to ruin. Protect yourself from lesser drivers by installing a dashcam and take advanced driving classes.
