Do you think road accidents can be prevented? For some people, accidents are bound to happen and there is nothing we can do about them. No matter how careful you are or how good a driver you think you are, there is a driver out there who may not be as careful or as good as you. Unfortunately it is true, but there are ways that it can be prevented.
Here’s how:
1. Check your car before driving
It is important that you check your car brakes, lights, leaks, coolant, fluids, and oil levels. In short, check your car’s roadworthiness! It is better to be safe than sorry.
2. Focus
Keep your eyes on the road. Do not use your cellphone, try to change CDs or
pick up something on the floor. Those things can wait, but if it is urgent, try
to pull over and do the necessary things you need to do.
3. NEVER drink
and drive
Need I say more about this? It’s loud and clear, NEVER (not sometimes) drink and drive.
4. Be obedient
Follow the traffic rules, road signage and speed limits. This is not very difficult to do and this can
save a lot of lives too.
5. Stay cool
There are a lot of arrogant and aggressive drivers on the road. IGNORE
them! What good it will do anyway if you succumb to that anger.
There’s nothing wrong to be prepared when accidents happen. Make sure you have a protection like CTPL insurance plan. CTPL pays for expenses incurred as a result of the vehicle owner's causing bodily injury or death to any third party in an accident arising from the use of the insured motor vehicle.
