Why is auto safety important?
There are many ways you can be safe on the road. The first one is to always wear a seat belt. Seat belts prevent you from severe injuries in car accidents. In 2012, statistics have shown that only 67% of Americans wore seat belts. Another way to be safe while driving is to never text and drive. In 2011, about 23% of car crashes involved cell phones, which is about 1.3 million accidents. 52% of Americans admit they have talked on the phone while driving, "textinganddriving.com" Avoiding loud and distracting music is also a great way to be safe. You need to be able to hear other approaching vehicles and music can be distracting or too loud. Another way to be safe is to obey they speed limit. Going too fast or even too slow can interfere with other vehicles. When taking long drives, be sure to give yourself small breaks because long drives could cause you to get tired and distracted. Make sure all your mirrors are adjusted just right for you to see behind you and on your sides for any other vehicles or even people and bikers. One final way to prevent any accidents on the road is to not drink and drive. Drinking while driving has lead to many deaths a serious injuries. Statistics have shown us that drunk drivers have already driven drunk 80 times before first arrest, "MADD"
