These car safety tips will help you stay safe while on the road.
- Make sure children are safely buckled as well as yourself. When buckling up in the car, make it a habit to assure everyone is safely buckled before the starting the car. Safely buckled means 1) using all straps, not just the lap belt 2) One person per buckle and 3) Young or short children (5’ 2” or under) in the backseat. Passenger-side airbags are designed for normal-height adults. If deployed, the airbag creates a safety hazard for children or short people sitting in the passenger seat.
- Do not use cell phones while driving the car. Pull over to the side of the road to make and complete your call. There are three reasons it is not safe to talk on the cell phone while driving: 1) You must look away from the road while dialing or hanging up. 2) Your attention is elsewhere while completing the conversation and 3) In the case of hand-held telephones, you lose mobility as you juggle the telephone.
- Do not eat while driving the car. Both your attention and ability to react are impaired. The same goes for reading, putting on make-up, shaving, etc.
- Look forward at all times. This keeps you alert to changing traffic and unsafe road conditions.
- Keep both hands on the wheel. This allows you to react more quickly if you have to make an emergency stop or swerve suddenly.
- Stay calm. If someone in another car cuts you off or does something you do not like, stay cool. Getting angry or retaliating creates a safety risk. Remember that in the big scheme of things, IT DOESN’T MATTER. Brush it off and move on. It isn’t worth an injury or your life.
