Several factors can play a role in accidents, including but not limited to impairment, reckless driving, distracted driving, road conditions and speeding. Here we have supplied three tips to help keep you from having an accident.
3 Easy Tips for Accident Prevention
Recent research shows that drivers often do not come to a full stop at stop signs.
This irrisponsible and lazy type of driving behavior could lead to dangerous consequences. Furthermore, intersections are where many crashes occur.
By following three simple tips, drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists can all stay a little safer.
- Come to a complete stop at the painted stop line or before the crosswalk. Moreover, if there are no sidewalk markings, stop just before the stop sign.
- Look for any posible risks before entering the intersection by looking left, right, straight ahead and then left again.
- If another vehicle is stopped ahead of you at the stop sign:
- Stop where you can still see the tires of the vehicle ahead of you.
- When the vehicle ahead of you begins to move, count two seconds before you continue to the stop sign.
