When people first start out as drivers on the road at a young age, there is a very common tendency to be nervous about getting behind the wheel. As drivers gain more experience, however, the task of driving becomes increasingly second nature until eventually it is easy to take traffic, and traffic safety, for granted. But adopting good driving habits is about avoiding accidents in order to keep yourself and others safe on the road.
- Avoid drowsy driving. Driving when you haven’t had sufficient rest can be as potentially dangerous as driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
- Cell phones are one of the most common driving distractions and have been the cause of countless accidents. If you have to talk on your cell phone, use a hands-free device or the speaker phone feature on your phone and NEVER send or read text messages or emails from your cell phone while driving.
- Make seat belts a rule for everyone in your vehicle. Seat belts are proven to save lives and substantially reduce the risk of serious injury in the event of a car crash. Make sure that everyone in your vehicle wears their seat belt when you are behind the wheel.
