Common events on the road can just as swiftly become safety hazards. Everyone must remain calm in order to properly handle the immediate aftermath of an automobile collision.
 
As a driver, it is your responsibility to be a proactive driver, rather than a reactive one. Driving defensively prepares you for emergencies. Moreover, if a police officer tried to stop you from driving, obey them. They’re doing all of these precautionary measures for your safety and the safety of other motorists as well.
