If there is only one piece of advice to give, I would answer, "Slow Down."
The number one contributing factor toward injuried and death in a vehicle collission is speed. There is NO EXCUSE for driving over the posted speed limit, and, in less than perfect conditions, one shouldn't even drive AT the limit.
Slow down.
Slow down.
Slow down. |

Pedestrians - Keep On The Path And Don't Go Off to The Road Or A Accident Can Be Caused
Driver - Concentrate On The Road And Make Sure You Stop At EVERY Stop Sign And Red Traffic Lights. Make Sure Your Car Is Fitted With Airbags And Seat Belts To Prevent Deaths. |

Pay attention to what you are doing.
Don't eat, drink, text, phone, read or fiddle with the radio while you are driving. Avoid driving in bad weather or situations that make you nervous.
Know what the traffic laws are and obey them.
That should keep you out of trouble. |

Umm use common sense? If you need to ask questions like this, is people like you who shouldnt be driving on the roads. Pay attention to your surroundings?? Dont speed??? Dont tail gate, Break early, Break even earlier in snow, drive slower in snow and rain, use all your mirrors, double check before you switch lanes, read road signs? Oh, heres a biggie. IT DOSNT MATTER IF YOU HAVE A GREEN LIGHT, IF THERES A YIELD SIGN YOU YIELD TO ANY CAR COMING. common sense. |

Just obey the traffic rules and be aware of your surroundings and the road conditions. And keep repeating this mantra; "' What if, what if, what if, what if "'
example; what if that car does pull out. what if that car stops, what if that car doesn't stop. |

Here are a list of ways to avoid car accidents.
*Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol or a Controlled Substance. It’s never a good idea. Some of the worst accidents I’ve seen are caused by drunk drivers. Most people who consume alcohol do not think they are too impaired to driving.
*Falling Asleep at the Wheel. If you get tired while driving, pull over and take a quick nap.
*Running a Red Light. Don’t enter an intersection after the light turns red.
*Turning Left on a Yellow Light. When the light is turning yellow, vehicles going straight try to beat the light. But the person who needs to turn left has been waiting in the intersection.
* Following Too Closely. It is hard in crowded traffic to keep a safe distance between you and the car in front without someone cutting in front of you, but you have to discipline yourself to do it. Think of space as a big cushion or pad of safety. That buffer of space will save you from many accidents that occur when people in front of you have to slam on their brakes or take evasive action.
*Failure to Adjust Speed Given the Road Conditions. Too many people travel too fast, ignoring speed limits. Also, people fail to adjust their speed when hazardous conditions exist. Speed limits are maximum speeds, and if hazardous conditions exist, drop your speed below the maximum so you can have time to react to approaching conditions.
*Failure to Pay Attention. Many accidents also occur because people get distracted, talking on their hand-held cell phones, leaning down to pick something up, eating, talking to someone in the car, etc. |

Don't go out.Stay at home.
Only joking.
While you're driving, keep your eyes and ears open.Use the rear view mirrors a lot as well so you're not taken by surprise by someone trying to overtake. |

Don't go too fast and stay on your own side of the road.
Also - no yakking on the cellphone or texting. No watching movies or TV while driving. |
