Car accidents happen all the time. Someone's car is totalled
once every 5 seconds. Avoiding accidents can save you a lot of
time and money. This means learning defensive driving. But what
exactly is defensive driving? - 1Slow down. Obey the speed limit
even if every other car is surpassing it. Remember that police
officers often stay hidden from view while looking for speeders.
If you're caught driving too fast, they won't hesitate to give
you a ticket. - 2Let others pass you. Defensive driving means
letting others go ahead-not defending your position in traffic.
Avoid the urge to be a vigilante ("Oh yeah? Let me show you what
it's like to be cut off like that!") Accept the fact that
someone is always going to think they're in more of a hurry than
you. These are the drivers you want to move far away from, not
to 'teach them a lesson.' - 3Try to avoid driving in bad
weather. Always keep your windshield wipers going in the rain or
snow. Defrost your windshield to keep it from fogging up. Turn
on your headlights
