Abroad for the first time. My personal experience

We all do something for the first time. When you do something for the first time, you are very afraid or not even afraid, but you internally strain from the fact that you will have to experience something new. It's the same with traveling abroad for the first time. Before my first trip abroad, I was very worried and asked many questions to those who had already been there. And I think it's right. If you are planning to travel abroad for the first time and you have questions, we will try to help you.

What's better? Buy a tour from a tour operator or go wild?

You must have often heard from friends and acquaintances that it is cheaper to go abroad as a savage. Is it true? From ourselves, we note that if you are traveling abroad for the first time, then it is better to buy a tour from a tour operator. At least you will see with your own eyes what a foreign country is. And then decide whether to go wild or through a tour operator.

What is cheaper? Buy a tour from a tour operator or go on your own? It all depends on the direction and time of your trip. Sometimes it's much cheaper to go through a tour operator, sometimes you travel on your own. In any case, you can compare the two travel options and choose the cheapest one.

If you buy a tour from a tour operator, then everything will be organized for you. You pay for the hotel, the plane and provide a transfer (they take you from the airport to the hotel and back). Also around the clock you are in touch with a representative of the tour operator, who can drive up to you at any time. If you are traveling as a savage, then you yourself book a hotel, pay for the plane and get to the hotel. And no one is responsible for you! Also keep in mind that you may have problems with air tickets. The plane may be canceled, or there will be no tickets. And you will have to solve this problem yourself. In addition, the tour operator insures you, which is especially important if you are traveling to exotic country where you can "catch the infection."

Travel alone or with someone?

During my second trip abroad, I was tormented by the question of whether I should go alone or not. What to say? Feel free to go to Europe alone. To Egypt, Turkey, OAU, countries South-East Asia better go together.

Traveling alone has its perks. No one will interfere with you, discover the country for yourself. You can go where you want and do what you want. By the way, on European resorts many Russians travel alone, and you can find yourself a couple to relax there.

Air travel questions

If you are not allowed to fly on an airplane, or you are pregnant, then it is better not to risk it. After all, flying by plane is a load on all body systems. And it is not clear how your body will behave. If you have a problem of motion sickness in transport, then be sure to buy special pills for motion sickness, in any pharmacy they will tell you. In addition, on vacation you can have boat trips where you will need the tablets.

Wear comfortable clothes and shoes on the plane. Take a warm jacket with you, it is often cold on planes. Buy yourself a neck pillow. Also remember that you cannot carry piercing and cutting objects, water bottles, glass objects with you on the plane. Therefore, leave all cosmetic bags (for ladies) in a bag that you check in your luggage.

For entertainment, take interesting books or a tablet to watch your favorite movies. Also take a small backpack or bag with you on the plane, where you put it. necessary medicines and documents.

Also, be aware that after checking documents and customs clearance, you find yourself in a special area where there are shops duty free and cafe. Here you can drink tea or coffee, buy alcohol, perfumes and other things inexpensively.

Is it necessary to know the language?

One of the most common questions for those who travel abroad for the first time is, do you need to know the language of the country you are going to, or English?

If you plan to constantly travel, then it is worth learning English at a conversational level. In all countries, people who are associated with the tourism industry know English and are explained in it. So learn English if you want to travel the world.

For those who buy tours to Turkey, Egypt, Spain and Greece, Thailand, we hasten to assure you that it is not necessary to know English. In general, employees of hotels, travel agencies and the entertainment industry can speak some Russian. And in many cafes and restaurants you will find a menu in Russian.

At OJSC, canary islands, in Southeast Asia and other countries less popular with tourists, it is necessary to know English. Otherwise, you will not be able to “normally” eat and navigate the terrain. Of course, our tourists often go to these countries without knowing English, but it's better to explain yourself a little.

For example, if you want to travel around a country outside of tourist routes, and a savage, then be sure to learn English!

Do you need to know the language of the country where you are going? If you are going to an exotic country where the tourism industry is poorly developed, then yes, be sure to learn. If you are traveling to a country where locals They feed on “tourism”, then you can learn colloquial phrases, they will not interfere. And, perhaps, knowing the language of the country will help you discover it from the other side.

By the way, you can learn the language for travel on your own with the help of video courses. Recommended video course “Express English course for travelers (3 hours of video).

Fundamentals of Security Abroad

If you are traveling abroad for the first time, then pay attention to security issues. First, be sure to read the information about the country where you are going. On the website of the tour operator for each country where there are tours, there is a memo that tells about the basic laws and customs that will provide you safe rest. You can ask a travel agent to print you such a memo. And of course, do not go to areas where foreigners are not recommended to be. Strictly follow all the recommendations of the tour operator regarding safety!

As soon as you check into the hotel, be sure to rent a safe. This is usually inexpensive. Store documents, phones, money and valuables in a safe. Every hotel has safes.

If you plan to actively travel around the country, then buy yourself a tourist backpack with secret pockets where you can put all your valuables. And don't leave this backpack unattended! In general, even if you are going to "lie" on the beach, then take a backpack. It is easier to pull things out of the bag, or tear them out of your hands. As you already understood, watch your things abroad!

Are you going on vacation to an exotic country? Excursion tours buy from tour operators. Still, they guarantee your safety. When buying tours from the "left" agencies, there is a risk of suffering financially and harming health.

And remember that all insurances are canceled if something happens to you while intoxicated. You will pay for all treatment and so on, and all these services abroad are quite expensive. So don't drink too much! In addition, in a state of intoxication, you can lose money and documents.

Take on a trip abroad medicines that you personally need, also for the treatment of the stomach, intestines, anti-inflammatory and colds, temperature. Often, from climate change and cuisine, tourists have a fever, or there are problems with the intestines. This is called acclimatization. Or because of ignorance of the kitchen, you can simply eat something from which your digestion is disturbed. So get ready!

Money

Another question that tourists who go abroad for the first time ask is what to do with the money. Firstly, ask your friends who have already been to this country, how much money they spent on the trip, or read the reviews of tourists on the Internet.

Literally plan all your travel expenses. Determine the budget and emergency stock. Here is the amount of money and exchange in Russia. And when traveling, strictly follow the budget. You can also take your bank card with you. But suddenly you will not be able to withdraw money abroad?

As we have noted before, it is better to keep money in a hotel safe. Carry small amounts of money with you. Firstly, you will spend less on various trifles, and secondly, in case of theft, loss of money from a backpack or clothes, the money will remain in your hotel safe.

And we also note that do not be afraid and boldly go abroad for the first time. The same people live there as in Russia. If you follow their rules and respect, everything will be fine. And you will discover another world. And never lose your vigilance!

It is possible that you have more questions, but before my trip abroad for the first time, I was interested in all this. And after my first trip, I answered my questions exactly like that.

The first difficulty that novice motorists face is the smooth starting of the car. I pressed the pedal a little wrong, and that's it - the car will stall or will drive jerkily. But all this does not matter, because every experienced motorist once learned to drive a car in the same way. And today we will delve into this issue in detail and find out,

What needs to be done?

You have three pedals and a gear knob. On cars with an "automatic" there are only two: gas and brake - and, frankly, there is nothing to learn there. In the case of an automatic transmission, the electronics do everything for you, so the question of “how to start the car and drive” is not so acute there. It is much more difficult to master the skill of driving with a manual transmission. Therefore, we will consider it precisely. So, how to get under way in a car? First, before turning the ignition key, it is necessary to assess the situation: if the car is on a slope, while the first gear is engaged, there is a risk that if it is done incorrectly, it will go or roll down the hill. To prevent either one or the other from happening, we press the brake and squeeze the clutch pedal.

When the car starts, we press the leftmost pedal again (at the same time, if the car is on a slope, do not release the brake) and move the gearshift lever to the desired position. It is not recommended to start in second or even worse third gear. Firstly, this is a big load on the engine, and secondly, the car simply will not go or will immediately stall.

We gently release the clutch pedal and press the gas with the same effort until the tachometer needle rises to the green scale. So, you felt that the car began to move slowly. So that it does not stall further, continue to vary the two pedals with the same effort. At the same time, press the gas a little more confidently, but not to the floor, so that the car does not crash into the nearest obstacle. When the clutch is fully released, we continue to move until a shift to an upshift is required. Do not be afraid to press on the gas pedal due to the fact that the car is about to fly. Slowly press on it, and everything will be fine. With experience, you will develop this skill.

We switch gears

We have already considered the question “how to start off in a car correctly”, now let's move on to how it is right. In principle, there is nothing complicated here, and the algorithm of action is very similar. Before driving the car in second gear, remember that you first need to wait until the engine picks up the required speed. When the tachometer needle leaves the green scale, we begin to move on to switching. First, we squeeze the clutch, move the gearshift lever to the neutral position for one second, after which we turn on the second one according to the scheme. The second action is necessary in order to reduce the load on the transmission gears when changing gears. Now, as in the first case, release the clutch and step on the gas. Do the same when switching subsequent speeds.

Conclusion

So, we found out the main nuances when starting the car and switching gears. At this stage, the question of "how to get under way in a car" can be considered closed.

For the first time I'm flying (going) abroad, I'm afraid. I am flying for the first time, what should I do, what should I know? What you need to know, those who fly abroad for the first time? What to do at the airport, how not to be late for the plane, how to go through registration, customs and passport control at the airport?

Have a comfortable trip abroad!

We buy a tour

The very first thing to do is to choose a good tour. The travel agent will help you with this. They will select and book rooms in a suitable hotel. As a rule, booking takes from several minutes to several hours. After the contract is signed.

If you have chosen a tour to a country with which an agreement with visa-free entry has been concluded, then you do not need to prepare additional documents.

If you need a visa, you must give the travel agency employees: passport, 3x4 photo, medical certificates, income statements, as well as money to pay for a visa.

Keep in mind that if you travel to a “visa” state, you may be denied entry into the country even if the ticket has already been purchased. Therefore, purchase "insurance against non-departure", in this case, in an unforeseen situation, you will return your money.

The contract with the travel agency must contain the following information:

  • country of visit;
  • how many people the tour is designed for;
  • the price includes meals (breakfasts, breakfasts and dinners, all inclusive) or not;
  • detailed information about the hotel;
  • length of stay;
  • possibly other data.

After the conclusion of the contract, the travel agency employee must provide you with information about the time of departure, the flight number. As a rule, everything required documents will be given a few days or a few hours before departure - it all depends on the accepted practice of the company.

Of course, if it is agreed that the documents will be issued a few hours before departure, natural fears arise. What if the employee doesn't show up? Is there something wrong with the document? Don't worry! This is a well-established practice, the company carefully checks everything and makes sure that you receive the documents in a timely manner - any overlays are excluded. All documents are waiting at the operator's desk at the airport three hours before departure. You just have to pick up.

If children are traveling with you, who have not yet reached the age of 18, each child must have issued for himself. If the child travels with only one parent or with an accompanying non-parent, it is necessary to have a notarized permission to export the minor.

Upon receipt, no matter in the office travel company, or at the airport, be sure to check the documents.

The package must contain for each traveler:

  • a set of air tickets (to and fro, as well as for intermediate flights, if provided). The ticket may be provided electronically on plain paper;
  • voucher (three copies) granting the right to stay at the hotel;
  • individual medical insurance with detailed conditions.

Be sure to learn about the traditions adopted in the country, religious rites, history, important monuments and shrines. Check out some of the laws that may apply to you. For example, whether it is forbidden to drink alcohol or smoke in public places and so on. Not bad if you can learn a few phrases that will help in the future.

Be sure to make copies of all documents you take with you on your trip. Also make sure to make and keep an electronic copy of your passport in your mailbox. In an unforeseen situation, you can print documents anywhere in the world.

Upon arrival at the hotel, immediately resolve the issue with the safe. All documents, jewelry, bank cards should be kept only in a safe. Take copies with you, as well as money and cards that you are going to use.

Stock up on a first aid kit, which should contain a set of the most commonly used medicines:

  • antipyretic;
  • painkillers;
  • drugs used for food poisoning and gastrointestinal disorders;
  • preparations to avoid burns and minimize their consequences;
  • adhesive plaster;
  • medicines that you have to take constantly, as well as allergy medications.

Remember, some drugs may be prohibited from being imported into a particular country. Therefore, it is imperative to have a prescription certified by the seal of a doctor.

Separately, write down, preferably in several places, all the phone numbers that you may need: bank, tour operator, embassy, ​​numbers of relatives and close friends. So you save a lot of nerves and time in case of unforeseen circumstances.

When leaving the hotel, do not take all the money at once, but only a certain amount and only one card that you plan to use.

Before the trip, check the expiration date of payment cards, write down the PIN codes separately. It would be useful to clarify the conditions for using bank cards abroad. Perhaps your card is valid only within the country or a commission will be deducted in other states.

If there are restrictions, get another card with favorable conditions.

When calculating the travel budget, proceed from the fact that you need to spend 50 dollars or euros per day. So you will avoid trouble and be able to have a normal rest, visit tours and buy memorable souvenirs.

In many countries, for example, in Egypt, Turkey, merchants can accept both local currency and dollars, euros. Often they offer their own course, which is much worse than the official one, and the purchase price will increase. It is better to change the currency at one of the points, for example, at a hotel, airport or directly in Kazakhstan. Do not use special exchange machines - they usually overestimate the exchange rate.

When paying for a purchase, try to minimize the use bank card better to pay in cash. Just in case, it does not hurt to have "money in plastic" with you.

As you travel, remember general luggage per person should not exceed 20 kg (for economy class) or 30 kg (for first and business class). You will have to pay extra for overweight. The weight of each individual bag may exceed 30 kg.

To protect your luggage from possible damage, and first of all from theft, wrap the bag with stretch film, wrapping it many times. You can find out more about the rules for carrying hand luggage at the airport.

Do not take parcels, packages, bags from strangers or even acquaintances for transfer to those who meet in foreign country their friends, relatives, etc., for this there are international delivery services. If something forbidden is hidden inside the package, you will sit down.

How to fit a lot of things in one suitcase? How to properly pack a suitcase on the road? In general, if you do not want to know how to put all things in a suitcase so that everything fits, watch the video "How to pack 100 things in one suitcase".

If we are traveling with a child. Minimizing the risk of disease

A week before the tour, minimize all contact with other children. Consult with a pediatrician, it may not hurt to prescribe drugs that strengthen the immune system for the baby.

If you go to a place where there are a lot of children, the risk of catching an infection increases dramatically. It is better to plan a vacation for June, September, or in winter time(excluding winter holidays). If it does not work, then it is better to pay attention to tourist destinations less popular with tourists.

In the first aid kit, always keep means to reduce the temperature, drugs for food poisoning and allergies.

Departure

So, after you have received the documents, check them for completeness. Must be:

  • round trip airfare. Please note that seats are indicated on tickets directly at check-in before departure;
  • a voucher granting the right to check into a hotel. Check the hotel, length of stay, whether food is included in the price;
  • passports must have visas (in the form of a seal or a pasted hologram). Usually they are placed on any free page of the passport, not necessarily in a row, for example, in the middle of the document. After you have received and checked the documents, you will have to: - go through customs, check in your luggage, check in for a flight and go through passport control.

If you are at the airport for the first time, you can join one of the passengers of your flight and follow him, going through all the necessary procedures.

Below you will learn in detail about the passage of each stage prior to boarding the aircraft.

customs control

At this stage, customs officers check whether you are carrying items prohibited for export or import: antiques, etc. It is mandatory to declare an amount in any currency equivalent to 10,000 US dollars or more.

Customs has two zones:

  • "Green corridor" Passengers usually pass who do not carry prohibited items, such as tourists;
  • "Red channel designed for passengers who need to make a declaration.

Remember, customs officers after passing through control can selectively inspect the luggage of any of the passengers. Usually pay attention to those who are in a hurry or nervous. Therefore, do not try to hide anything in order to avoid serious problems.

After passing customs control it is no longer possible to return to the hall.

check-in

It is recommended to arrive at the airport no later than two hours before departure. The flight number is indicated on the ticket. Upon arrival, look for information on the desired flight on special boards. On the screen you will see the numbers of counters (up to five counters can be selected), where check-in is underway for the flight you need.

When registering, you can politely ask for the most convenient places, for example, by the window or vice versa, closer to the aisle if you are flying with a small child.

At the check-in counter you check in your luggage, get boarding passes (they will act as a pass when you enter the plane), which will contain very important information for you, namely the exit number, in English “Gate”, the flight number and departure time .
For example, GATE 11 means the 11th exit - there you will need to look for your plane. 40 minutes before departure, they will announce on the speakerphone that boarding for your flight is starting, the exit number is such and such - come on.

At the check-in counter you also check in your luggage, leaving your hand luggage with you(marked with a special sticker, and a similar sticker is issued to you), an airport employee marks the hand luggage with a sticker - "In the cockpit".

After passing through a special corridor, you get into the plane. Here, flight attendants will help you sit in your seats, and during the flight they will deliver drinks and food. If you are traveling with children, bring food to the airport and on the plane.

Passport control

You need to go through passport control one at a time. Minors are accompanied by their parents or an accompanying person.

Present your passport to the airport employee and boarding pass - he will make a note in the passport about crossing the state border. From now on, you are in neutral territory.

If you are going to fly abroad with a large company, then it is better to immediately distribute passports to everyone and put a boarding pass in them to speed up the process.

In the process of passport control, you need to go through a metal detector, it is checked separately hand luggage. Don't worry, this is standard procedure to ensure your safety and flight safety.

After completing all the procedures, you find yourself in the waiting room. Here you can buy souvenirs, alcoholic drinks, clothes and other goods in the duty-free zone ( duty free). You can pay for the goods in tenge, US dollars or euros.

In the waiting room, carefully follow the information on the screens. The start of a drawdown on your flight (usually 30-40 minutes before departure) will be announced by loudspeaker. To get on the desired plane, proceed to the exit (Gate) indicated in the boarding pass.

Before boarding, you may be checked again with a metal detector. To get on the plane, present your ticket and passport to the airport employee.

Upon arrival at the airport of destination

Upon arrival at your destination at the airport, you go through all the procedures, but in reverse order. The exception is personal inspection. You won't have to go through it again.

To go through passport control upon arrival, prepare the following documents:

  • international passport;
  • immigration card. You need to enter personal information in it: name, surname, citizenship, arrival flight number, the period for which you arrived in the country, the name of the hotel where the rooms are booked. If you have children on the tour, you need to enter information about them. When filling out the card, do not hesitate to seek help from passengers who can read and write in English.
  • in countries such as Egypt, Thailand, Türkiye and in other countries with a facilitated visa regime for Kazakhstan, a visa can be obtained directly at the airport. It is presented in the form of a sticker-stamp with a hologram. You only need to purchase one sticker per passport. If your children are included in the international passport, you do not need to separately purchase a visa for them.

An employee of the border service in the passport puts the appropriate stamp on entry into the country. He may also ask to present a voucher confirming the hotel reservation.

When you get to the airport, don't be alarmed, it just seems like a big and inhospitable labyrinth. Follow the crowd, joining the general flow. There is nowhere else to go, no matter what country you are in. In fact, everything is very simple, you just stick your nose first at passport control, from there to the baggage belt. Next, look for a representative of the tour operator among the crowd of people meeting. You can recognize it by a special plate or T-shirt with an inscription. Here you check in, the representative will show you which bus to go to.

We receive luggage

To collect your luggage, find the transport belt corresponding to the flight. Here you can pick up your luggage. Do not confuse your luggage with someone else's. To make sure that the bag is yours without opening it, compare the number of the pasted sticker and the one on hand.

Then hand over your luggage to the bus driver and take one of the empty seats.

If you could not find your luggage, contact the baggage tracing service, providing the sticker you have on hand. If you do not speak other languages, look for the tour operator's representative on the sign to meet you and explain your situation.

Transfer

A transfer is a transfer from the airport to the hotel. Do not be afraid to miss the bus, the guides will not send it until they have collected the whole group. But don't make others wait.

During the transfer, you will be able to ask the guide the most important information: features of the country, the most profitable and closest currency exchange points, he will also indicate where you can meet another guide who will oversee your stay in the country throughout the entire period.

If for some reason you have to stay late, you can also get to the hotel by taxi. Just show the driver your voucher containing your hotel information and he will take you to Right place. Remember, you pay for this trip at your own expense.

Hotel

After arriving at the hotel, you can leave your luggage in a special place. Do not be afraid to contact the staff, they will help you with everything. Now you need to contact the administrator at the reception, provide a voucher and passport. To check in, fill out a special form (one per room).

Abroad, it is common practice to ask visitors for a deposit- this is a certain amount (usually 100 US dollars) that you leave for using the phone, internet, bar in the room. Don't worry. If you don't use paid services, the money will be returned in full or in part, minus payment for the services provided.

Unfortunately, it is often impossible to get the keys before two in the afternoon local time. Therefore, if you arrived earlier, you can relax in a specially designated place or familiarize yourself with the infrastructure of the hotel.

After checking into the room, examine it. Check if everything works (TV, air conditioning, hot water shower, if the lights are on). Wait for the evening. Perhaps the music is playing too loudly from the window, making it difficult to sleep. If something does not suit you, ask for another number, arguing with the identified problems.

All documents, money, jewelry must be kept in a safe. In some hotels, this service is provided for a surcharge.

Leaving the hotel

Check-out from the hotel in most countries of the world is carried out before 12 noon local time. By this time, you must collect all your belongings and hand over the keys to the administrator at the Reception. If the departure is in the evening, luggage can be checked into the luggage room.

Porters will help carry heavy luggage (Laggage boy)- call Reception to call them. Before transfer to the airport, you can freely use the hotel infrastructure (in some hotels only a paid part of the services), luggage is stored free of charge.

Upon arrival at the airport, you need to go through the already familiar procedures.

Drivers are not born, drivers are made. Believe me - almost all motorists, including dashing minibuses, who are able to simultaneously steer, switch, drink coffee, talk on the phone and count change in dense city traffic, were once beginners who, at the first independent trips His hands were shaking and his back was sweating.

So, you are a beginner who has recently received a license and is slowly rolling kilometers along the well-known streets of his city. After weeks or months (everyone is different), you already have a more or less tolerable skill in urban driving and begin to notice with satisfaction that the driving process ceases to be continuous stress for you.

After a while, you begin to enjoy driving.

However, sooner or later in the life of almost any novice driver comes another stage that can spoil a lot of nerve cells.

We are talking about the need for the first exit to the suburban highway. Believe me, this is a very crucial moment, because the experience of a beginner's trip on the track can have big influence on his further development as a driver.

How to go to the track for the first time for a beginner? In this article, we will try to form some useful advice for those who are going to go to the expressway for the first time in their lives.

In general, for beginners on suburban highways for the first time after obtaining the rights to leave without special need is not worth it. But, there are situations when circumstances force a beginner to get behind the wheel and go to conquer their first kilometers of federal highways.

Leaving the track, first of all, get rid of the illusion that you are already an experienced driver. The fact that you have stopped stalling when starting off and have learned to start uphill almost without a rollback does not mean anything at all. You must clearly realize that you are an inexperienced beginner on the track.

From the point of view of the driving process itself, driving on the highway, in itself, is no more difficult than in the city. And even vice versa, to some extent easier (less maneuvers, fewer movements, everyone goes in the same direction). But, at the same time, it is much more dangerous, since the price of a mistake is incredibly high here. After all, if an accident in the city is, as a rule, only broken iron repair, then on the track often everything ends much more deplorably. The vast majority of road traffic fatalities or serious injuries occur on highways where cars travel at very high speeds.

Are you afraid to overtake a truck that is traveling at 70 km / h, because you see the risk in this? Don't overtake. Follow her 2, 3, 5, or at least 20 kilometers and overtake her only in the place where you will have one hundred percent confidence in the safety of the maneuver. Time will pass - you will learn to more objectively assess the degree of risk on the tracks and overtaking a truck will cease to be a whole event for you. But while you still do not know how to do this - do not take risks in vain. Remember - at home they are waiting for you alive and unharmed.

Are you afraid to drive more than 100 km / h, because you have not yet learned how to fully control the car at such speeds and feel discomfort? Eat slower. 80-90 km / h for the highway is quite a normal speed with which most trucks move.

However, driving very slowly on the track is also not recommended, since there is a high risk that some racer at 160 km / h could fly behind him, who could not foresee that a car was moving ahead of him at a snail's speed.

On highways with traffic in several lanes, try not to climb into the leftmost lane unless absolutely necessary - drive in the right lane.

Be sure to indicate in advance all your maneuvers on the track with turn signals. In principle, this should be done at all times and everywhere, but on the freeway this rule is especially relevant, since it is customary to drive at high speeds and there may not be enough time to orient yourself in a given situation.

Before overtaking, rebuilding, turning, be sure to look at the mirrors - it often happens that someone behind you has already started overtaking before you.

Always keep your distance from the vehicles in front and read the traffic situation in advance. Don't count on your brakes, no matter how good they are. If you notice that the traffic ahead has slowed down, you do not need to approach it headlong and then famously brake - this is a very bad habit that is inherent in thoughtless and adventurous drivers. It is much easier and safer to release the gas pedal in advance.

When leaving the track, remember: your safety is in your own hands!
