On average, a car crash happens every minute in the U.S. With so many accidents occurring every day, it should be every driver’s priority to operate their vehicle as safely as possible to prevent other drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and the general public from suffering significant injury.
With that in mind, Riverside drivers should look at what steps they can take to drive more safely as to reduce the number of collisions and subsequent injuries. Below, we have provided Riverside residents and visitors alike with our top three tips for safe driving.
Part of what makes Riverside such a great area to live and visit is the restaurants, clubs, bars, and other social scenes. But if you want to do your part to keep Riverside safe, make sure you never drink and drive.
Drunk driving continues to be an issue in California, but by simply having a designated driver for nights out, getting an Uber or calling a taxi, the number of injuries and deaths caused by drunk driving could be substantially decreased.
Distracted driving has become increasingly common as cell phones became the norm. People use their phones for everything these days including playing music in their car, using the navigation system, and, of course, making calls and sending text messages. Unfortunately, these distractions can cause serious injuries and death in Riverside.
Distracted driving doesn’t only involve cellular devices either. Being distracted by anything can cause you to crash—talking with a passenger in your car or reaching across the front seat to take a sip of your beverage. Be safe when driving; keep all of your attention on the roads and your surroundings.
Have you ever been driving and noticed another driver speed past you? Or maybe you’ve seen a driver run a red light or stop sign before? These are all examples of a very dangerous type of driving known as aggressive driving.
Instances of road rage, following too closely, and failure to use a turn signal are also common. If you find yourself engaging in any of these unsafe driving practices, or if you notice another driver doing them, your best option is to remain calm and try to focus your attention on the roads instead.
Despite doing everything you can to drive safely, you still cannot control how others drive.
