Motor vehicle accidents or traffic collisions happen when a car collides with another, a person, an object, a tree, a signpost, debris, or a fence. Factors leading to crashes can be mitigated if drivers follow safety tips and obey the rules of the road they are traveling on.
When at an intersection, count to three before entering on a green light, and look both ways to ensure no one is trying to beat a yellow light. When passing semi’s, be careful of the blindspot on the right-hand side, and keep at least one hand on the steering wheel.
Reduce in-car distractions like changing radio stations or CDs, cell phones, or eating momentarily. Watch out for children and animals, especially in a residential neighborhood, and perform engine maintenance regularly.
