TIPS TO BE A SAFE
DRIVER

2. Don’t Lose Focus
KEEP YOUR MIND ON THE ROAD
It’s not uncommon for drivers to gear up for a
ride while their mind is elsewhere.
Unfortunately, this places the driver,
passengers, and others on the road in grave
danger.
Before putting the key in the ignition, take a
moment to recalibrate. In doing so, the driver’s
focus realigns.

3. Eliminate
Distractions
PUT YOUR PHONE
AWAY
When it comes to on-the-road
distractions, mobile devices
are the primary culprit. In an
effort to prevent accidents,
stow all electronics away.
In some states, texting while
driving is a serious offense.
For those who would like to
avoid both car crashes and
the long arms of the law,
consider eliminating all
distractions.

4. PUT A PREMIUM ON SAFETY
Though some feel in complete control behind
the wheel, there’s no controlling what other
drivers will do. It’s best not to speed, constantly
switch lanes, or retrieve items from the back of
the car while on the road. Doing so makes the
driver more susceptible to injury. Two of the
biggest safety components include driving sober
and wearing a seat belt.
DON’T DRIVE TIRED
Being drowsy while driving is a recipe for
disaster. When weariness creeps in, the
driver becomes a threat to themselves and
those around them. Operating a vehicle tired
is a surefire way to cause an accident, so it’s
wise to relinquish all driving responsibilities
until energy levels are restored.

5. Drive Defensively
ALWAYS BE ALERT
in other words, drive as if those around you are
capable of causing a collision. After all, they
undoubtedly are. When drivers begin assuming
that other motorists are a risk, they make extra
efforts to drive responsibly and maintain their
safety. One great rule of thumb is to keep a
four-second distance between the car ahead.

6. Don’t Speed
TAKE IT SLOW
Leave the fast and
furious driving to those
who starred in the
movie. Speed limits
exist for a reason, and
blatantly disregarding
them is as ill-advised as
it is dangerous.
