Car accidents happen every day. “According to the National Highway Traffic Administration, car accidents happen every minute of the day. Motor vehicle accidents occur in any part of the world every 60 seconds. And if it’s all summed up in a yearly basis, there are 5.25 million driving accidents that take place per year”. Let’s keep everyone safe, take a few minutes to review a few tips that may prevent accidents from occurring.
**Adjust your rear-view mirror so you can see the back window. This way, you can see what’s behind you.
**When driving at night or in a dim area, it’s best to have your headlights on, preferably at the low setting.
**Always check your blind spot when going into another lane. Your blind spot is behind your left shoulder.
**Allow for a 3 second length of distance from the car in front of you. If the driving conditions are not good, then consider a 4-5 second length of distance.
**When stopping, scoot far enough where you can see both sides of the road, but not too far when cars will hit you.
**And above all, ALWAYS wear a seat belt and make sure your family is belted in properly. It will prevent serious injuries.
