1.Avoid tiredness.Get enough night sleep!That the right way to put it.If you are typpe of person who easily got tired, take a few break during driving.It will not hurts if your journey is slow, safety first!

2-Do not use mobile phones even it was a hands-free call.It dents your reaction time to road hazards.

3.Air bags is not enough.Please make sure you wear seat belts.FYI air bags is 8 times less effective than seat belts

4.Make sure rear passengers wearing seat belts too.It was compulsory in Malaysia or you get a compound legally. In other countries, I’m not that sure whether they have this kind of law some have and some might not have it.Every country differs one and another.

5.Avoid loud, fast music since it also can affects your reaction while driving.Some British RAC Foundation studies even concluded “Ride of the Valkyries” as one of the most dangerous driving tunes.I wonder if it’s okay to hear rap songs.It’s kind of fast too.Anyhow, avoid musics that distracts you.
