Each year, more than 40,000 people lose their lives in automobile accidents. Then about 2 million would suffer from disabling injuries. It's possible to reduce the amount of casualties if more people would learn defensive driving.
No matter how careful or a skilled driver you are, high speeds, impaired or careless drivers, and not using occupant restraints correctly or not at all, threatens each person on the road.
Defensive driving is something we've all heard of. This means that you take responsibility for yourself and your actions and in addition, you are always aware of the other driver's actions.
To help reduce risks on the road, here are some driving tips you can follow.
You shouldn't start the engine unless every passenger in the car has been secured. Thousands of lives each year are saved by safety belts. Lock all doors.
Increasing the likelihood of collision is driving too fast or too slow.
You shouldn't kid yourself. Designate a driver who won't drink if you plan to drink. Alcohol is a factor in almost half of all fatal motor vehicle crashes.
Stay alert! A car responding slowly to traffic signals, weaving, making wide turns, abruptly stopping, or straddling the centerline would could mean that the driver may be impaired.
By exiting or turning right at the nearest corner, you can avoid an impaired driver. Pull over the roadside if it appears an oncoming car is crossing into your lane or you can flash your lights and sound your horn.
Notify the police immediately after seeing a motorist who is driving suspiciously.
Follow the rules of the road. Do not contest the "right of way" or try to race another car during a merge. Be respectful of other motorists.
Avoid following too closely. Always use a "three-second following distance" or a "three-second plus following distance."
While driving, be cautious, aware, and responsible.
You'll be sure to have a safer car ride if you follow these common sense suggestions.
