Safety should always be a top concern for everyone on the road. Speeding, distracted driving and drunk driving maximize your risks of getting into a car accident. Although we do not have control over other drivers, we still can drive defensively. Keep a safe distance from others and be prepared to yield to emergencies on the road.
