Safe Driving Tips: Preventing Single-Vehicle Accidents

Solo-vehicle crashes often result from factors such as speeding, fatigue, distracted driving, or loss of control due to weather or road conditions. To reduce the risk of a similar tragedy:

• Avoid distractions — keep your attention on the road, not your phone.
• Drive at safe speeds, especially at night or on unfamiliar roads.
• Check tire pressure and condition regularly to maintain vehicle control.
• Pull over if drowsy — fatigue slows reaction time as much as alcohol impairment.

Responsible driving can make the difference between a close call and a life-threatening crash.
