Always Be A Responsible Driver
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.
Thus, it is indeed important that we drive defensively in order to avoid accidents as much as possible.

– Never assume you know the other driver’s intention.
– Also, be prepared to positively react to other drivers.
