Apart from this, a single car accident will result in hiked insurance premiums since the insurance company will view you as a risky driver. To avoid all these, take a look at some of the tips to help you become a better road user.

1. Always Maintain Your Car

Car maintenance is key in avoiding accidents at least from your part. This is why it’s important to schedule regular servicing. Some of the basics you should have checked include your tires, brakes and vital fluids such as brake fluid and power steering fluid for efficient navigation.

2. The Driver’s Condition

Now, the car may be in the best condition possible, but if the driver isn’t, then an accident is inevitable. Human error is the leading cause of accidents around the world. This may range from health conditions, especially those touching on the driver’s vision to intoxication.

3. Get Defensive Driving Training

There’s a common statement, which always goes to remind us of the unpredictability of the roads. You may be all focused on the road with your serviced car but the driver on the other side may be careless or not as careful as you and may cause an accident.
