The most important thing you can do to prevent a vehicle accident is to pay attention to your driving at all times and obey all applicable traffic laws. You should never drive if you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. You should always use caution when driving around other cars that are swerving or driving at high speeds, as the drivers may be aggressive, drunk or otherwise dangerous. Always exercise caution when driving near other cars and be courteous by signaling when turning and maintaining an adequate following distance. Ensure that your vehicle is properly maintained by regularly testing the vehicle’s fluid levels and reporting any problems with your vehicle to a local maintenance shop.
