Every year millions of people are involved in automobile accidents. However, by practicing safe driving strategies, you will have a better chance that you’ll keep yourself and your passengers safe. By practicing safe driving, you’ll also be more likely to obtain more affordable car insurance and a good driving record.

Here are some tips for safe driving:

1. Turn off your cell phone.

• Studies show that using your cell phone while driving is the same as driving drunk.

2. Turn on your headlights.

•  Having your headlights on helps to improve your visibility and helps other drivers see you.

3. Follow the speed limit.

• Obeying the speed limit helps to keep you safe and avoid expensive tickets.

4. Minimize things that may distract you.

• Try to avoid eating, drinking, changing the radio station or playing music loudly.

5. Practice defensive driving.

• Be aware of your surroundings and pay attention to the traffic around you.

By using safe driving practices, we can make the roads safer for everyone.

Even if you practice safe driving, sometimes accidents happen. If you or a loved one has been injured in an automobile accident, contact Martin Law Office for a free consultation.
