Baby Yoda is lucky.
Not everyone has a IG88 to ride through the traffic.
IDUBLOG have published about 2 handfuls of traffic safety related articles since 2011, and this one here makes another interesting collection.
If you have taken up car exploring as a hobby for travel (travel the world in your car) lately. one should definitely take that necessary extra precautions.
Here are the very strict rules I personally came up with these last few years :
STRICT Explore rules:
1. Half second Look ONLY : no matter how beautiful or unique a sight is, never look at it or take your eyes off the road for more than half a second regardless if you are driving slowly.
You could take multiple looks but not more than half a second each. That way, you keep your focus on the road.
3. Never force exits on Highway: if you miss it, you missed it. Get used to missing exits. It is really no big deal.
4. Look out for Stop signs : in new areas that one is not familiar with, it is easy not to look for stop signs or are oblivious to them. Pay attention for them always.
5. Do not switch lanes - lane control.
Unless necessary, stay on the same lane for safety. It is easy to forget that when one is exploring new roads
6. When you see a super duper scenery, try to park your car immediately, then take time to enjoy the view. It is very dangerous to keep looking at it, ahhh and waa and awe, while driving, especially if the road is curvy or fast.
7. Find a safe spot to park to rest. The safest spots is always the Main big streets of a city or town where it is always brightly lit and full of people.
8, when one is exploring, all roads and areas are unfamiliar territories- so always drive slowly regardless of any situations, never be pressured by anyone or events.
Exploring is not just a hobby, it is a Professional Hobby.
So always be fully trained in Professional Safety.
And abide by it at all times.
