Safety Reminder: Avoiding Head-On Collisions

To minimize the risk of a head-on collision, practice defensive driving by constantly scanning the road ahead for erratic vehicles or drivers drifting toward the center line. Reduce your speed immediately if you perceive a hazard, as this increases your reaction time and control. On two-lane roads, position your vehicle slightly to the right within your lane to create a buffer of space from oncoming traffic, and if a collision is imminent, brake firmly and steer toward the shoulder or ditch, never swerve left into the path of other oncoming vehicles. Furthermore, avoid driving while distracted, fatigued, or impaired, as these factors are major contributors to crossing the center line.
