2. Signal Your Intentions
Signal lights are there for a reason, and you need to use them to clarify your intentions to other drivers. This will avoid confusion, and roads will be safer and more enjoyable as a result.
3. Respect The Speed Limit
Speeding is irresponsible and extremely dangerous. It can quickly lead to an accident because your ability to slow down diminishes and you will not be able to come to a complete stop on time. Speeding causes collisions, and respecting the speed limit will prevent this from happening.
4. Always signal when you make a turn or change lanes
This will inform other drivers of your next move, preventing confusion, and your intentions will become clear, making roads safer for everyone.
5. Only go through an intersection when the light is green
Never text while driving; put your phone away while you’re behind the wheel. This will allow you to focus on the road, and you will not feel distracted, which can lead to an accident. When driving, you must pay attention to the road and your surroundings at all times.
