Driving Safety Tips
Be Prepared.
Slow down.
Give yourself extra space.
Hold your steering wheel firmly.
Brake and accelerate lightly.
Watch for black ice.
Some of the most horrific accidents occur during icy driving conditions. This is because many times, the ice is invisible to the human eye. This type of ice is called “black ice” and despite the name, this ice is totally transparent. Driving on ice is nothing to play around with. If you can avoid driving on ice, do so at all costs. However, if you are caught unexpectedly in icy driving conditions or for some reason have no other choice, these tips are invaluable. Whether you’re driving with other cars or sharing the road with trucks, driving cautiously is imperative. Keep these tips in mind and make them habits to develop safe driving behavior.
