  • It ensures you’re fully aware of your surroundings before proceeding
  • It’s key to preventing accidents and keeping intersections safe

Deadly Driving Behaviors

The Fatal Four

These four behaviors are responsible for the majority of fatal crashes each year:

  • Speeding – Reduces reaction time and increases crash severity.
  • Distracted Driving – A single glance away from the road can be deadly.
  • Impaired Driving – Alcohol and drugs impair your ability to drive safely.
  • No Seatbelt – Buckling up cuts your risk of dying in a crash nearly in half.

Every driver plays a role in making roads safer. Make the smart choice – every time you get behind the wheel.
