Are you guilty of unsafe driving?

The average American spends a quarter of all the fuel consumed in the U.S on driving every year. It's evident that most of us can't live a comfortable life without our cars. Yet the fundamental question strikes again since the dawn of cars in 1885. How safe is a car? Most car manufactures today, advertise and market on the most techonologically advanced features to pursuade consumers into choosing their brand, but external precautions and features can only go so far.

The real key to safe driving is not the brand or the number of airbags in the car, It is YOU, the driver.

As a young drive myself, I have witnessed all kind of horrifying things people do when they are behind the wheel. For example, putting on eye liner, eating a burger, texting, reaching into the glove compartment for their stashed EZ pass case or GPS device. If only there was some way to reduce the number of distractions on the road.

Tips on how to stay safe behind the wheel:

Do not drink and drive, have a designated driver when going out to parties.

Minimize distractions from your phone by turning it to silent or purchase a earpiece.

Texting can wait!

Put on makeup before you leave the house

Mount your EZ pass with a EZ pass cover/mount and your GPS on the dashboard or on the windshield before you leave.

Transportation agencies and driving school should join forces to educate drivers on safe driving techniques to minimize injuries and accident rate on the road.
