Never drink and drive. Always use your seat belt. Avoid distractions such as cell phones, pets and eating while driving. Drive the speed limit. Driving too slow can be just as dangerous as driving too fast. Maintain a safe distance between you and the car in front of you. Follow rules of the road- left lane is for passing only. Be cautious when making left turns and at intersections. Plan your route before you drive. Avoid driving during peak times, in congested areas and at night. Be aware of the effects of aging on your driving abilities. Have your vision and hearing checked on a regular basis. Check with your doctor or pharmacist for possible side effects of medications before driving. Don’t drive when you are angry or tired. Schedule a CarFit.
