Importance of safe driving
Finally, we would like to add recommendations or rules to follow to avoid traffic accidents on the roads, since every driver has to know the best and safest ways to drive and be an excellent driver.
- Respect traffic signals and traffic lights. Always be attentive to these signals that do nothing more than communicate to the driver visually what will happen at a certain moment, for example, when the traffic light is red, you have to stop because other cars will pass in a different direction from the road.
- Respect the pedestrian. Care must be taken when pedestrians are passing through the street, and not step on the stripes since that is the place where they walk
- Do not use the phone. Avoid at all times the use of the cell phone while driving, what it does is distract the driver and increase the chances of a traffic accident. There is a time for everything, if you want to use the phone, please do it after you get out of the car or before driving the car
- Perform periodic maintenance on the vehicle. The parts of a car do not last forever, they wear out over time, for this reason you have to be aware of the entire car in general, for example, oil, coolant, brakes, etc. just to prevent the car from malfunctioning
