your passengers will get seriously hurt in a
crash. Although you may have seen many of the
following safety tips before, return to this

The key to avoiding accidents while driving is to
see a potential accident beforehand and avoid it.
When you pull into traffic and change lanes
slowly after you have thoroughly looked around
theres less of a chance youll be caught off
guard.
Stop, Look, and Listen

Have you ever driven into an intersection
immediately after a light turns green? Of course,
we all have. Whats important to remember in this
situation is to look both ways. Just because the
light is red for the perpendicular lanes of
traffic, doesnt mean they have actually
stopped.

Drive With Your Hands, Not Your Knees
It seems like a no-brainer, but many drivers are
guilty of not keeping one hand on the wheel at
all times. This is the worst situation you could
be in if an emergency situation arises that
requires evasive action. The split-second takes
for you to put your hands on the wheel could be
the difference between life and death.

Look Ahead
Keep Your Vehicle Well-maintained
A well-maintained vehicle will stop better,
maneuver better, accelerate better, and basically
do everything better including avoiding
accidents.
The 12-second rule says you should scan ahead
while driving to the point where youll be 12
seconds in the future. This is said to give you
the optimum amount of time to stop, slow down, or
take evasive action when facing a potential crash
scenario.

Stop Tailgating
Shouldnt it go without saying that tailgating is
dangerous? Nevertheless, weve all seen drivers
do it again and again. Even worse, weve been
frightened passengers in the vehicle of a driver
who is tailgating. Dont do this, and if youre
riding in someones car whos doing it, tell the
person to stop or demand to get out of the
vehicle.

Following these tips could prevent a catastrophic
car collision. However, if you still get hurt in
spite of your best efforts to be safe, you might
want to explore the possibility of pursuing a
personal injury claim. By learning more about
personal injury law, you can determine your legal
rights and options.
