SAFETY TIPS

You can practice these TIPS as a passenger.

Try it and see, soon it will become routine.

Defensive driving is designed to heighten your awareness of everything happening around you while driving.

If you start developing these habits early and realize that every time you get in a car there is risk involved, you increase your chances that you won't be involved in a colision.

Start practicing now by checking your mirrors constantly.

Always be aware of what is on your right, your left and behind you.

Check the road ahead. What is on the horizon, what is happening in front of the car ahead of you.

Learn to make eye to eye contact with drivers and pedestrians. That way you know they see you.

Look at the front wheels of the cars parked on the side of the road. If you see a car with the wheels turned to the left, is it going to suddenly pull out?

Of course you can also just drive around in a daze, fool with the radio, use the mirrors for checking your hair etc. and the rest of us will pay for it with higher insurance rates, but you may pay with your life.
