ACCIDENT CARE SEASON 5
9. Night Driving
Driving during the day can be dangerous, but driving at night can double your chances for an accident. When you can’t see what is ahead, you don’t know what to anticipate as you drive towards it. As the sun goes down, your awareness of the road and cars around you must go up.
10. Unsafe Lane Changes
There will always come a time where you need to get over to another lane. When drivers don’t make safe lane changes, it often leads to a car accident. To prevent an accident use your left and right turn signals and always check your blind spots before proceeding to the left lane or right lane.
11. Improper Turns
The reason that we have stop lights, turn signals, and lanes designated for moving either right or left as opposed to straight is to guide drivers. When drivers ignore these guides, car accidents are often the result. To prevent a car accident, always look for signs and obey the proper right-of-way before you make a turn.
12. Tailgating
Many drivers are impatient and this can lead to driving too close to another car that they cannot react in time if the car in front of them brakes suddenly. You should always allow one car length between the car in front of you for every 10 mph you drive. Many fatal car accidents have occurred when a driver dangerously tailgates another driver at high speeds and is unable to stop in time when the rear lights come on.
13. Ice and Snow
The winter months can be very dangerous. Snow can mix with water and become sloshy and ice can be difficult to see and prevent. This danger can be escalated since most people do not know the proper protocols.
First, if it is icy or snowy outside don’t drive. However, if this is not an option, keep extra distance between you and the car in front of you, decrease your speed, go easy on the breaks at stops, and if you do hit ice do not slam on the brakes.
