Defensive driving can reduce your risk of a car accident
Learning to drive defensively can reduce your chances of getting in accidents.
Car accidents are dangerous and happen often. In fact, you are bound to pass an accident just while driving down the highway. Statistics show nearly 37,000 people die each year in car accidents.
While car accident injuries are not pleasant to think about, they are preventable in certain situations.
Prevention is the most important step to take to guarantee the safety of you, your passengers, and other drivers on the road.
But it's still easy to assume that just because you are a cautious and careful driver, the other drivers around you on the road will be also.
Assuming that the other drivers will stay in their lane, safely react to road hazards, or wait to safely pull out onto a major roadway can often be a dangerous mistake.
Other drivers on the road are often distracted, rushed, or just drive aggressively for no good reason. Looking ahead and keeping your eyes moving can help you anticipate the actions of other drivers and stay safe.
With a focused mind and a little precaution, the following tips can keep you and others safer while driving on the road.
