Driving a car is an important responsibility because you are in control of a vehicle that can cause harm to others or damage to other people’s properties. Moreover, it’s one of the most dangerous modes of transportation, causing around 38,000 deaths each year.
Because of the dangers associated with driving a car, it’s a responsibility, not a right. Fortunately, you can apply a few safety tips
to act more responsibly and become a better driver: Put your phone away or at least use hands-free calling and texting.
Pay attention to the road at all times by looking ahead at least 12 to 15 seconds.
Keeping your car in great condition by doing routine maintenance.
Check your blind spots and mirrors once every five to seven seconds.
Never drive under the influence.
Follow the rules of the road.
Stay at or below the posted speed limit.
And a final way to stay responsible when you’re behind the wheel is to always keep insurance on your car. Not only is it a legal requirement, but it also protects others in case you cause an accident.
