The Tragedy of Road Accidents
Specifically, thousands of people across California suffer injuries in traffic accidents similar to the possible DUI accident on Highway 101, every year. Although it is common, many people do not suspect what follows in the event of a traffic mishap like the suspected DUI crash on Highway 395.
Therefore, safety on the road should be the number one priority for anyone on it. Above all, it is better to be a proactive driver, rather than a reactive one. For this purpose, driving defensively prepares you for emergency situations.
Activities that take drivers’ attention off the road include using mobile phones, eating, and other distractions, which are major safety threats. Ultimately, avoid these activities at all costs when in the driver’s seat.
