1. Avoid distractions. Texting is always a no-no. But
there are other hazards as well such as eating, music, and passengers. Seems
simple, but an once of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
2. Don't drive when you are sleepy. It's hard to gauge
how tired you are sometimes but if you have not gotten much sleep, or you feel
fatigued it is probably best to avoid driving. If you are already on the road
and you start to get white line fever or begin to nod off, pull over and rest for
a while.
3. Wear your seatbelt. Even if you are a safe driver, it
is better to be overly cautious than to be under-prepared. Fortunately, many
cars have insistent warning chimes to remind you and your passengers to buckle
up.
4. Keep your distance. If the car ahead of you slams on
their breaks, this will give you more time to react and avoid disaster.
5. Do regular maintenance on your vehicle. When your
vehicle is roadworthy, you will be too.
