- Pay attention.
Seeing, recognizing and to avoid the hazards of a lurking road are the three major elements of driving. Avoiding these would lead to a collisions blamed on any of the drivers. You should not get distracted by any of the hazardous distractions like radio, day dreaming, sleepliness, cell phones and fatigue.
- Don't be a pshycic.
While driving always keep your eyes open and do not judge the other driver blankly. Anticipating mistakes the others may do would be a smart decision. Always stay alert and calm.
- Give way.
When you are driving it is the outcome which counts and not the principles. If at anytime of your trip you have a doubt on whose way would be right, just give way to the others. Do not hesitate.
- Speed.
Always look for speed posts. They are intended to keep the traffic moving smoothly. If you see anyone rashing give way and move to the right. Try not to avoid speed rules just because someone else has.
- Don't drive impaired.
Drivers can become impaired through not only drugs and alcohol, but also fatigue or as a result of injury or illness. Alcohol is a depressant that will diminish your ability with the first sip, acting on the very skills you need most as a driver—judgment, vision and the ability to perceive several things at once. We all have the obligation to make sure we are able to drive safely every time we drive.
- Wear your seat belt.
Seat belts are the most significant safety device ever invented. They provide impact protection, absorb crash forces and keep you from being thrown out of the vehicle. Modern vehicles are built with “crumple zones,” and seat belts are an integral part of the system. Belts help keep you in your place, in control and better able to avoid a crash.
- Don't break the red lights.
If you see the red light on always wait. Do not rush even if the light is yellow. Never say that you were too late if you had the chance. Most of the accidents happening cause because of this reason. Have patience let the red turn green and then leave.
- Always follow traffic rules.
Follwing traffic rules will always help at worst of the situations. They are intended to create a consistency and uniformity that will help us predict what other drivers are going to do. Ignoring them always creates a chaos leading to collisions and conflicts.
