Hastings & Hastings Offers Advice for Driving in Difficult Traffic

    PHOENIX, AZ, October 26, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Hastings & Hastings admits that such a situation sounds miserable. In an effort to make driving in traffic even marginally better, Hastings & Hastings offers tips for driving in difficult traffic.

It is difficult to affect change as an individual, however, change must begin somewhere. Research has shown that drivers who accelerate quickly, and break frequently in traffic only serve to exacerbate the problem. The use of cruise control has been proven to reduce the severity of traffic. Hastings & Hastings dares to imagine a world were all traffic bound cars move the same constant speed, and traffic moves slowly, but steadily.

Whether drivers are using cruise control in traffic or not, it is important that they slow down. If each driver on the road slows down, it will enable traffic congestion to gradually open. Driving slowly also reduces the chance that commuters stuck in traffic end up in an accident, which would make the traffic conditions even more severe.

Hastings & Hastings further advises that individuals stuck in traffic avoid driving bumper to bumper. Drivers should create an ample buffer zone between themselves and the car in front of them. This will help make traffic conditions less dangerous, and hopefully less stressful.

Research has shown that breaking smoothly may actually contribute to easing congestion and opening up traffic jams. Hastings & Hastings observes that this may be another benefit of leaving an ample buffer zone between automobiles. Without a buffer zone, it is impossible to break smoothly.

Drivers who are stuck in traffic jams often feel the need to dance back and forth between traffic lanes in an attempt to find the lane that is moving quickest. Such driving habits likely increase the severity of traffic jams, however, if drivers insist on flitting between lanes, the least they can do is properly signal their lane changes. By clearly communicating their driving intentions, drivers can reduce the danger associated with lane changes.

Hastings & Hastings wishes everyone the best when stuck out in traffic. Hopefully, if everyone adheres to these easy traffic tips, congestion will be a little less severe out on Arizona highways.
