5 Ways To Reduce Your Risk of a Car Accident

Car accidents are literally everywhere in Metro Atlanta. We all see the reckless drivers, drunk drivers, tired drivers and worse. How can you keep yourself safe amidst the chaos on Georgia roads? You have to be proactive, not reactive. Your safety and the safety of your loved one just may depend upon it.

Here are 5 ways to reduce your risk of a car accident:

1. LIMIT YOUR DISTRACTIONS: Music, food, cell phones and kids can all be serious distractions. Distracted driving is a leading cause of accidents. When you are driving, ONLY focus on the road.

2. UTILIZE HANDS-FREE OPTIONS: Hands-free navigation and mobile phone options are a must. Limit calls to an absolute minimum while driving and only make calls using completely hands-free options. 

3. TAKE A DEFENSIVE DRIVING COURSE: I know it may sound cliché, but they really can help. These types of courses can update you on new driving laws, dangerous driving trends and better prepare you to deal with reckless drivers. 

4. GET YOUR EYES CHECKED: Many drivers assume that having to squint or the inability to see well at night is just par for the course. Driving with poor vision is very dangerous. Have your vision checked by a professional and follow their recommended treatment plan. Be sure to tell them about the driving issues you are having as well.

5. KEEP YOUR VEHICLE WELL MAINTAINED: A poorly maintained vehicle has much more of a chance of breaking down. Tire blow outs, transmission failure and poorly maintained windshield wipers are just a few of the vehicle issues that can lead to serious car accidents.

Reducing Car Accident Risks For Young Drivers | Car Accident Attorney College Park

The potential for car accident injury is an inherent risk in driving.  So minimizing that potential is important. Young drivers are at an increased risk for accidents. Properly preparing, training and monitoring your young driver can make all the difference. Here are a few things you can do to that may help reduce the driving risks your young driver faces:

MONITOR THEM: It may seem invasive, but remember that driving is a privilege, and your young driver needs to view it that way. There are  now many ways to monitor speed, location and distractions. Your new driver will likely be much more responsible if they know you are watching.

BE A POSITIVE EXAMPLE: You can’t tell your young driver not to text, eat and speed while driving if you do those things in front of them. Your example sets the stage for them. The best way to encourage them to be a safe driver is by being one yourself.

SET CONSEQUENCES FOR BREAKING THE RULES: If your new driver breaks any of the rules you set, have firm consequences. Do not tolerate unsafe driving, intoxicated driving, or sneaking and driving without permission. Stick to whatever punishment you set so they understand that their violation of the rules is serious.

Still, even when we do our best to protect our young drivers they can still end up in a car accident. It is important that you protect their rights if they are injured in car accident.
