Prevention Is Always Better Than Cure

While driving is essential for many in order to move about in their lives, it is one of the most dangerous activities we do 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.

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

Here are some of the things that we can do to practice defensive driving:

Always drive at a controllable speed.

It is also important not to assume you know the other driver’s intention.

Always react positively to other drivers. Keep calm.

This one, we should never neglect. Yield at intersections, even if you have right of way. Better safe than sorry.

Most importantly, stay focused on the road. Remove all distractions such as mobile phone use, unstrapped toddlers, etc.
