Every driver and passenger in the United States has a responsibility to make safe driving a priority. We drive in order to get from one point to another and we do so with the intention and desire to arrive at our destinations safely. Safe driving requires following a few tips that will help make for fewer accidents on America’s roads.
- Wear your seat belt every time you get into a motor vehicle whether you are a driver or a passenger. Seat belts have been proven to substantially reduce the risk of death of severe injury in the event of a motor vehicle accident.
- Avoid distracted driving. Distracted driving takes many forms such as putting on makeup, talking or texting on a cell phone, or adjusting the radio or a music playing device. Drivers only need to be distracted for a fraction of a second in order to cause an accident. If something like sending an email or text needs to be sent from your cell phone or you need to deal with unruly kids, pull off to the side of the road or into a designated parking area.
- Drive defensively. Defensive driving includes anticipating dangerous situations and adjusting driving habits to protect your vehicle from being involved in those situations.
