    Check the speedometer<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It is the most obvious starting point and yet so many of us forget to check the speedometer for such a simple thing. For unintended speedsters, most offenses during overtaking. Your eyes are on the road and other drivers while you ascertain your move is completed safely. However, it is important to check your speed before you begin.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      Know the limits<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      It\u2019s also important to stay within the speed limits while driving. In UAE, the speed limit for highways is 140 mph whereas for city roads it is 80 mph. In addition, if you are driving in a residential area, the limit maybe even shorter; so, the slower you drive, the better.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        Go for 3rd gear in a 60 km\/h limit<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        In a residential area, going above 60 km\/h is a dangerous idea. Fortunately, most cars have the option of driving in 3rd gear at 60 km\/h without overworking the engine. So, if you find the speed going higher up when you are driving in the 60 km\/h speed limit, try driving in the low gear. That will prevent you from breaking the speed limit.<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. \n

          Recognize your triggers<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Even though we don\u2019t really want to be in a situation where we could be breaking the law, there are circumstances in which you are more likely to speed up. In such cases, identify these scenarios so that you can deal with them later on. <\/span><\/p>\n

          Are you in a rush? Do you listen to loud music while driving in your <\/span>used car Dubai<\/span><\/a>? Are you prone to<\/span> road raging<\/span><\/a>? Or maybe someone tailgating you is making you want to speed up?<\/span><\/p>\n

          Understanding why you break the speed limits can help you address those concerns so that you can take steps to prevent it from happening. <\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. \n

            Get help<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            If you are thinking that you have tried out all of this and somehow you just can\u2019t get the mph within your reach, it may be time to bring in some help. There are satnav systems that track your speed and evoke some well-meant noises if you go over the speed limit.<\/span><\/p>\n

            But if you are truly a reckless driver, then a limiter can be your best bet. Many of them are fitted as standard to trucks and vans are designed to keep you from exceeding the speed limit in your <\/span>used car Dubai<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
