Oakland, CA (July 03, 2021) – On Thursday, four children and an adult were injured in Vasco Road crash.

The accident took place at about 5:30 p.m. intersection of Walnut Boulevard.

Since you cannot read the intention of the driver in front of you, don’t tailgate. Make it your practice to always maintain some distance between your vehicle and the one ahead in order to give yourself enough response time should the vehicle ahead make a sudden turn or stop.

Always Drive Safely

While driving is essential for many in order to move about in their lives, it is one of the most dangerous activities performed daily. That is because auto accidents are a major public health threat. Traffic accidents are a leading cause of death for individuals ages 5-64.

That is why it is indeed crucial that everyone drives defensively in order to avoid traffic accidents as much as possible.

Meanwhile, here are some of the things that we can do to practice defensive driving:

-First, always drive at a controllable speed.

-Then, it is also important not to assume you know the other driver’s intention.

– Also, be prepared to positively react to other drivers.

Always yield at intersections, even if you have right of way.

Keep in mind to stay focused on the road. Remove all distractions that could disturb your focus in driving.
