Steps you can take to limit accidents are when you get in a vehicle make sure your passenger and you have seatbelts and also make sure the driver has his or her phone away. Also before getting in the vehicle fix the radio or anything that distracts you before you start driving.

When getting in a vehicle and you have been drinking make sure you have a friend or get a taxi to drive you home that hasn’t been drinking. But overall drunk driving, distracted driving, reckless driving, and road rage because when people get behind the wheel they don’t think about who they could be killing a family or a police officer by their choices of driving.

Yes, I have been in a car accident but there were no injuries luckily. But we came back from picking up a load and we were on a gravel road we came up to an icy curve and the vehicle spun around and made a full circle and landed in a ditch. Yes, my mom when she drives she doesn’t really care and sometimes she will be distracted doing something and then she will cause to skid off the side of the road a little and get back onto the road again. She sometimes even drives recklessly because she is upset and believes she needs to die. I see so many people driving recklessly for no reason and that can lead to car accidents. 76% of people are reckless every day when driving. There is about an average of 1,500 people injured or killed each year due to aggressive driving or reckless driving. According to the National Highway Traffic Administration, motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death in people aged 16-24 years old.

Think in emergency situations, and be prepared for the unexpected. Check everything ahead of you at all times the traffic lights, signals, if there are children ahead or people riding a bike in front of you. Give cars a special distance to ensure no accidents are caused and so you can alert yourself in emergencies. Be responsible don’t do anything dumb that can cause an accident. It can teach you safer ways such as the importance of wearing seatbelts, obeying speed limits, and avoiding any distractions while driving.
