2. Follow the speed limit. Speeding is one of the leading causes of fatal car crashes.
3. Don't drink and drive. Even a small amount of alcohol can impair your judgment and coordination.
4. Avoid distractions. This means no talking on the phone, texting, or eating while driving.
5. Be aware of your surroundings. Pay attention to other cars, pedestrians, and cyclists.
6. Signal before you turn or change lanes. This will help other drivers know what you're doing.
7. Use your headlights at night and in bad weather. This will make you more visible to other drivers.
8. Don't tailgate. Give the car in front of you plenty of space so you have time to react if they brake suddenly.
9. Be patient. Aggressive driving is dangerous. If someone cuts you off, don't retaliate. Just let them go.
10. Take breaks if you're tired. Drowsy driving is dangerous. If you start to feel tired, pull over and take a nap.
