The lane that most accidents occur is the right lane because vehicles are merging, slowing down and accelerating frequently.
When you drive in the right lane and lose focus or fail to check for blind spots then accidents can occur frequently.
When changing lanes you should never move out too early, never slow down before changing lanes, never forget to activate or deactivate the turn signals.
You should also never cross the center line in an intersection when changing lanes and always check blind spots by looking over your right or left shoulder.
Lane discipline is the practice of driving within the boundaries of a designated lane, as defined by broken or solid white lines on the road.
It involves following the rules of the road and staying within the designated lanes while driving.
Lane discipline is sometimes a minor driving fault and not always a serious driving fault although in some cases it can be a serious driving fault if you don't maintain at least some good lane discipline.
To discipline a lane you position your vehicle in accordance with the edge of the road also known or curb and to also keep just left of the center lines of the road.
It is also essential that you stay within the white markings on the road.
Some of the lane discipline rules include.
Always be considerate, show a caring attitude, watch out for others, show good road side manners.
Be sure to keep your vehicle always in the center of your lane, don't hang to the left or right side of your lane.
On highways with multiple lanes you should keep to the right and allow faster cars to use the lanes left of you.
You can show and improve your lane discipline by planning ahead and moving into the correct lane in good time.
Adapt the road position to suit the road width and traffic conditions.
keep a safe position during normal driving, especially around bends.
Take up the correct position on a one-way street.
A lane is part of a roadway that is designated to be used by a single line of vehicles to control and guide drivers and reduce traffic conflicts.
Most public roads (highways) have at least two lanes, one for traffic in each direction, separated by lane markings.
Broken white lines in the road mean that you may change lanes if it is safe to do so.
Solid White Line: requires you to stay within the lane and also marks the shoulder of the roadway.
One way to know if you're in your lane is to check your rear view mirror.
If it looks centered then you are in your lane.
You can also check the side view mirrors for how close you are to the line on both sides.
It will not take long to get used to how “being centered in the lane” appears when just looking straight ahead.
