how could you become a more responsible driver

Start with the basics: obey the posted limits and keep a 3-second following gap; if it’s bucketing down, make it five.

Phones stay out of hands—use hands‑free only, and if a text can’t wait, pull over like a sensible adult.

Break every 2 hours for at least 15 minutes; microsleeps aren’t “tough,” they’re terrifying.

Never drive impaired: in Australia the usual legal limit is 0.05 BAC for full‑licence drivers, but the smart limit is zero when you’ve got the keys.

Keep the car sorted—tyres at the right pressure, lights working, windscreen clear—because bald rubber and ghost bulbs don’t make you a hero.

Be predictable: indicate early, scan for cyclists and pedestrians, and assume every roundabout hides a plot twist.
