Take Time to Check Your Vehicle
To help prevent such accidents, itโs important to inspect your vehicle regularly. Start by checking your headlights and turn signals to ensure they are functioning correctly and can be seen from a distance. Also, check your tire pressure and adhere to the recommended maximum level. While you’re at it, take a moment to look underneath your vehicle to ensure there are no loose items or fluid leaks.
Staying focused while driving is essential. Eliminate distractions that could lead to accidents, such as using mobile phones or tending to unrestrained children. Most importantly, always refrain from drinking and driving.
