Preventing Car Accidents

Car accidents are one of the most common and avoidable tragedies in the United States. Every year, approximately
30,000 people die in preventable accidents. Car accidents cost Americans hundreds of billions of dollars
annually. There is no greater tragedy than the avoidable.

Safety Tips

Getting safely from Point A to Point B is your number one goal while driving. With that in mind, following
these few simple safety tips can help make that a reality:

• Always wear your seat belt. Most states now have laws on the books requiring the wearing of safety belts,
  making this tip even more important. According to studies, approximately half of the 30,000 auto accident
  fatalities a year could have been prevented had the victim been wearing a seat belt. Buckling up could,
  quite simply, save your life.
• Keep your focus on the road. While all the numerous potential driving distractions can be an attractive
  diversion, taking your eyes off the road and your mind off the job at hand can prove fatal. Your main
  responsibility while in the car is to prevent accidents, and when you get distracted from the road,
  you fail in this responsibility.
• Follow the rules of the road. The rules are for everyone’s safety, including your own. Following the
  instructions of all traffic signs, keeping your car under the speed limit, and signaling all turns can
  help prevent you from getting in a serious accident. For more information, you should read your state’s
  driver’s handbook.
