Nobody has time for car accidents and you definitely don’t want to have to deal with injuries due to a wreck, either. That’s why MotivWerks wants to help you to be as safe as you can possibly be while you’re driving your car.
Watch the Aggressive Driving
You might be a really talented driver, but if that involves aggressively switching lanes, speeding, and generally being unsafe on the road, that’s a problem. You’re ultimately endangering yourself and other drivers on the road and that’s not a good idea. Toning down the aggressive driving may be the best thing you can do for safety.
Avoid Driving When You’re Too Tired
Driving when you’re too tired has been equated to driving while impaired by alcohol. Both leave your brain unable to respond as quickly as it should to what’s happening around your car as you drive. If you’re too tired, you should never be behind the wheel. Find another way to get where you need to go or postpone whatever is going on.
Leave Yourself Plenty of Time and Space
Life is busy these days and that sometimes means that you’re short on time, which is understandable. But if you’re consistently cutting it close when you’re trying to get where you need to go, that’s a safety hazard for you and for others. Make sure that you extend your commute times so that you have plenty of time to drive safely. And while you’re at it, give yourself and other drivers plenty of physical space, too.
Make Sure You’re Keeping up with Routine Maintenance
You may not realize it, but routine maintenance of your car helps you to stay safe, too. An amazing amount of car accidents are caused by mechanical failures of some sort, and that’s entirely preventable with routine maintenance. Double check what your car’s owner’s manual has to say about when you should have services done. Then make a concerted effort to stick with that schedule as closely as you can. You can always bundle services together to make the most of your time at the repair shop.
