Aim high in steering. Don’t make your steering adjustments based on what is directly in front of you, but rather what is down the road. If the road is winding to the right, for example, look as far into the turn as possible. This will improve your safety and make your turns smoother.

Dealing With a Vehicular Crash

 
Even though state laws prohibit cell phone use when driving, upwards of 80% of car accidents are a result of distracted drivers.
