DRIVER ERRORS AND HOW TO AVOID THEM

This article looks at ways to eliminate driver errors by becoming more aware of other drivers. The situations examined, in which drivers show some disregard for others on the road, include speeding, right of way violations, proper and improper turns, driving left of center, following too closely and overtaking. In conclusion it is stated that if we could totally eliminate these examples of improper driving, it would greatly reduce the death and injury toll of traffic accidents, and that we can all work toward that goal simply by remembering that we are not alone out there on the road, and driving accordingly.
