If you're getting less than perfect acceleration feedback from ingenie, the chances are you're in a bit of a rush on the road. <\/p> \r\n\r\n

Allowing enough time to get to where you need to be is a surefire way of getting better acceleration feedback messages - and result in you being an overall better, safer driver. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Start your observation early<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n

As you approach a junction or roundabout or any other place where traffic may be slowing down or coming to a stop, make sure you're starting your observation early. What else can you see going on where a car might do something that causes you to stop suddenly?<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Harsh acceleration can also happen when you've misjudged what's happening on the road. You might feel yourself pressing down hard on the gas to get out of the way of another driver - when really you should have waited until you had time to drive away safely. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Life can get pretty busy at times and it's easy to slip into poor driving habits. But by just giving yourself an extra 5 or 10 minutes in the morning or after work or college - you'll take the hurry out of your driving and avoid getting yourself into some panicky situations. <\/p>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n
