Car Accidents

Driving is something of an American obsession. According to the Department of Transportation, Americans drive a combined 3 trillion miles a year. Many of us drive virtually every day of our lives, whether it’s commuting or running to the store for groceries or going on a road trip. But because of how much we drive every year, we often forget the realities of driving: you’re hurtling down the road at more than 60 miles per hour inside a multi-ton metal cage. When you think about it this way, you realize the importance of driving safety.

Driving Safety Tips

Every year, about 40,000 Americans die in traffic accidents, and about 3 million more are injured. The total cost of these accidents is over $150 billion annually. Such numbers underscore the importance of safe driving. The following tips can help keep you safe on the road:

• Keep your focus on the road. Many accidents are caused by careless driving. Drivers who fiddle with their phones, play with the radio, or eat while driving drastically increase their chances of getting into an accident.
• Follow all of the rules of the road. Pick up a copy of your state’s driver’s manual and familiarize yourself with it.
• Err on the side of caution. Aggressive driving increases your chances of getting in an accident, or causing one around you. Be considerate and polite while on the road. After all, you have to share it with those around you.
