Car accidents, or even near accidents, can be frightening and costly. The damage caused by a crash can be devastating for you as well as others. Following these tips can help you lessen the chance of being involved in an accident and keep your peace of mind.
When you are driving, focus all of your attention on driving. This means no eating, talking on the phone or texting, or doing anything else that may be distracting while driving.
Slow down. This will allow you to have more time to respond to anything that comes your way.
Be a defensive driver. Just because you are driving safely, doesn’t mean the same for others. Always be on the lookout for drivers who might get distracted or rushed.
Always plan ahead. Keep all needed items, like toll money, within arm’s reach and leave early enough that you don’t get pressured into driving faster than the listed speed limit.
