Unfortunately, car accidents are an all too common occurrence in the United States. The good news, however, is that most of these accidents aren’t serious ad they can often be prevented. Here are some steps you can take to stay safe on the road and prevent car accidents.

Drive defensively

The best way to avoid a car accident is by being defensive while driving. This means avoiding distractions like texting and using your phone while driving, obeying traffic laws and slowing down when approaching an intersection or construction zone.

Avoid distractions

The most dangerous aspect of driving is not paying attention. Research has shown that distracted drivers have a higher risk of crashing than other drivers because they're taking their eyes off the road and hands off the wheel for an extended period of time. When you're driving, make sure to avoid distractions by focusing

Don't drink and drive

Even if you're just going a few blocks from point A to point B, there's no reason for drinking and driving. It's not worth your life or someone else's- period. If you know you're about to drink alcohol, have a designated driver or call a cab instead of getting behind the wheel yourself

Keep your car in good conditi

Regular maintenance of your vehicle will help keep it in good condition and reduce the risk of collisions with other vehicles. Make sure your tires are inflated to the right pressure and make regular trips to a mechanic for checkups and repairs as needed.

Obey the speed limit

If nothing else, obeying the speed limit is a great way to reduce your risk of getting into an accident. Keeping your speed at or below the posted speed limit will help keep your reaction time up and allow you to brake before reaching a stop sign or red light. Plus, it's safer for other drivers if they know how fast you're going because they'll be able to adjust their driving accordingly.
