Safe Driving Practices
Defensive driving involves maintaining a three- to four-second following distance, scanning the road ahead for hazards, and consistently checking your blind spots before changing lanes. Distracted driving, which includes visual, manual, and cognitive distractions like using a cell phone, is a major cause of collisions.
Adjust your driving for adverse conditions: use low beams in fog and rain, reduce speed to avoid hydroplaning, and increase your following distance on snow and ice. Driving while fatigued is extremely dangerous, and aggressive driving behaviors like tailgating can lead to road rage incidents.
