    Tips for Safe Driving


     Always wear your seat belt. Wearing seat belts can increase
    your chance of survival in an accident. If your passengers are
    children, place them in correctly installed car safety seats.
     Don’t drive under the influence. Each year 23,000 people
    die in drinking and driving related accidents. Drinking
    alcoholic beverages as well as some prescription drugs can
    impair a driver’s judgment, vision, and reaction.
     Don’t drive if you are tired. The National Highway Traffic
    Safety Administration estimates that driver drowsiness and
    fatigue causes 100,000 accidents each year.
     Maintain your vehicle in good condition. Check that the
    tires, brakes, headlights, taillights, and turn signals all work
    properly.
     Obey the speed limit and maintain a safe driving distance
    between you and the car in front of you, especially when
    driving in bad weather conditions and darkness.
     Drive defensively and stay aware of the drivers around you. If
    another driver is driving aggressively or experiencing road
    rage stay away from them, even if you have to pull off the
    road.
     Be careful at intersections. Over 2/3 of all traffic injuries
    occur at intersections so be alert when you approach one.
     When using a cell phone while driving, pull off the road in a
    safe and legal place or limit your calls to emergencies. Cell
    phone use was reported in 18% of distraction-related
    fatalities in America.
     If your vehicle has an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and you
    must brake because of an obstacle, be sure to press the
    brake pedal and hold, and gently steer around the obstacle.
