Always Drive Safely

When driving, always be mindful of traffic laws and road conditions. If you encounter a vehicle or driver behaving erratically—whether by weaving between lanes, tailgating, or speeding, give them plenty of space. It’s often best to change lanes and stay clear of dangerous drivers.

Adopting a defensive driving approach is the best way to ensure your safety and the safety of others on the road. Stay alert, drive cautiously, and be prepared to react to avoid accidents.
