To avoid accidents a driver should?

* Obey the speed limit. Driving too fast for conditions is one of the leading causes of accidents.

* Pay attention to the road. Don't get distracted by your phone, GPS, or other passengers.

* Use your turn signals. Let other drivers know what you're planning to do.

* Be aware of your surroundings. Pay attention to other cars, pedestrians, and cyclists.

* Drive defensively. Expect other drivers to make mistakes. Be prepared to react to them.

* Never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. This is extremely dangerous and puts everyone on the road at risk.

* Wear your seat belt. This is the single most important thing you can do to protect yourself in a crash.

* Have your car regularly inspected. This will help ensure that your car is in good working order and safe to drive.
