A head-on collision is among the leading causes of crash-related deaths in California. Accidents of this nature are avoidable if road users follow the safety regulations released by law enforcement and traffic agencies from time to time.

Safety tips for drivers include obeying all stops and exit signs, maintaining a single travel lane, and staying to the right unless about to pass. While doing the latter, keep adequate space between cars, and keep out of the blindspot of bigger vehicles like semis.

Avoid drinking and driving, limit in-car distractions, and focus on the road ahead. Scan the sides every six to eight seconds, expect other drivers on the road to make mistakes, and prioritize safety always.
