#1 Don't drive like you own the road; drive like you own the car.
#2 Always wear your seat belt--and make sure all passengers buckle up, too.
#3 Adjust your car's headrest to a height behind your head--not your neck--to minimize whiplash in case you're in an accident.
#4 Never try to fit more people in the car than you have seatbelts for them to use.
#5 Obey the speed limits, Going too fast gives you less time to stop or react. Excess speed is one of the main causes of accidents.
#6 Don't go through red lights.
#7 Indicate your intention to turn or to change lanes well in advance - this gives the cars behind you enough time to react before you take the action.
#8 Make sure your windscreen is clean. At sunrise and sunset, light reflecting off your dirty windscreen can momentarily blind you from seeing what's going on.
#9 Make sure your car has petrol in it. Unfortunately, getting stranded these days can be dangerous and its always best to avoid it.
#10 Don't drink and drive, and don't ride with anyone who has been drinking. Call parents or friends to take you home if you need a ride.
