Unfortunately, responsible behavior often takes a back seat to distractions, which include:
- Exceeding the speed limit, which is a prevalent cause of automobile accidents.
- Failing to pay attention to or comply with traffic signals, signs, and other road warnings.
- Neglecting to use directional signals to indicate a driver’s intentions to other drivers.
