The roads are much quieter, but keep an eye out for drivers who may think the lockdown is a chance for them to test the limits of their vehicles, says Eugene Herbert. Picture: DENIS DROPPA
Eugene Herbert, MD of advanced driving school MasterDrive, says that while one may assume their drive will be quiet and uneventful during this time, there are some things to be cautious of. “There are also more private car owners on the road than expected, for various reasons. You can expect more of an early Sunday morning scenario than empty, open roads. Consequently, if you are about to head out, remember to continue driving defensively and keep an eye out for drivers who may think the lockdown will create an opportunity for them to test the limits of their vehicles or just drive recklessly without consequence.
“You are also likely to encounter a lockdown roadblock. While it is already a law, be sure to have your driving licence on you. Provide the law enforcement officials with the information that they request, whether it is a permit or explanation as to why you are out. These individuals are working diligently to flatten the curve, so let’s do what we can to assist.”
