Safer Driving Tips


Avoid common causes of automobile accidents

A large percentage of all car accidents could have been avoided. Learn to avoid some common causes, and you may avoid an accident!

  • Beware of Intersections
    Most urban accidents occur at intersections. Therefore, look around carefully and proceed with caution.

  • Change Lanes Correctly
    Another common cause of accidents is changing lanes incorrectly. Check your mirrors, watch out for other vehicles, and start to signal well before you actually change lanes.

  • Pay Close Attention
    Concentrate on your own driving, other drivers, pedestrians, and (possibly changing) driving conditions.

  • Keep Your Distance
    Don't follow the vehicle in front of you too closely. (The faster you drive, the more distance is required!)

  • Avoid Excessive Speeds
    Always obey speed limits, and adjust downward in unfavorable traffic or weather conditions.

  • Check and Maintain Your Vehicle
    Pay special attention to wiper blades and fluid, brakes, and tires. Replace as soon as they are worn.

  • Adapt to Weather Conditions
    In case of rain, fog, ice, or snow, drive slower than you would normally, and pay even more attention.
