To minimize driving risks, here are key things you should do:

• Keep your vehicle in top condition (working brakes, proper tire inflation, clean windows) for better control.
• Anticipate the actions of other drivers by driving defensively and expecting the unexpected.
• Always wear your seatbelt and use headlights during the day to increase visibility.
• Drive only when physically and mentally alert; avoid driving if tired or distracted.
• Avoid distractions such as using cell phones, eating, or adjusting radio while driving.
• Obey speed limits and slow down according to road and weather conditions.
• Maintain a safe following distance—typically a 3 to 4 second rule to allow reaction time.
• Signal all maneuvers clearly to alert other road users.
• Limit night driving and passengers, especially if you are a new driver.
• Avoid alcohol, drugs, headphones, or anything that impairs focus while driving.
• Conduct pre-trip vehicle safety checks including seat and mirror adjustments.
• Stay focused, avoid multitasking, and pull over if you need to attend to something urgent.

These measures collectively help reduce accident risks and improve safety on the road.
