DON’T DRIVE DRUNK Driving under the influence of alcohol is one of the leading causes in road deaths. Actually, it is estimated that 1 in 7 road deaths are caused by driving under the influence. Now, this is an alarming statistic, especially when you think about the fact that all those lives could have been saved if only certain drivers had been able to restrain themselves from drinking. Specialists almost don’t consider them accidents, because of the high rate of preventability they have. DON’T GET DISTRACTED Another leading cause for road deaths is talking on the mobile phone while driving. Yes, you heard me well. Although it doesn’t seem like it, talking on the mobile phone has a notorious reputation among accident specialists. Having a conversation with another person makes you lose concentration and fast reflexes if needed. If you add to that the radio which is on, you have two simultaneous distractions which often prove to be fatal. HAVE YOUR EYES CHECKED REGULARLY As a car driver, you probably know that the most important health condition a driver should have is good vision. I won’t get to into explaining why, because it’s too obvious. If you have eye problems, make sure you put your glasses on while driving. Also, remember that vision weakens in time, so it’s imperative that you have your eyes checked at least once a year. It’s really not that big a deal, and it will actually help your health. FASTEN YOUR SEATBELT It’s absolutely incredible how many drivers don’t do this simple thing. What’s even more incredible is how many people die or suffer very serious injuries because they didn’t have their seatbelts on. And many of those unhappy incidents could have been avoided if only the seatbelt was on. So, always remember to put your seatbelt on as tightly as you can, avoiding the neck area. As a conclusion, take note of these simple prevention methods. They could keep you out of the way of an unpleasant accident or they could even save your life. They are not that hard to follow, and as long as you are a driver, you must respect yourself, your loved ones and the other traffic participants. You can never be absolutely 100% sure that an accident won’t happen, but the big chances are that by following these rules you will be able to avoid an unwanted traffic accident injury.
