Of course no one wants to be the cause of a car accident, but many drivers are practicing certain behaviors without considering how much risk they may really be taking. There are two types of behavior in particular that together account for an outsized proportion of car accidents in the US. These are distracted driving and drowsy driving.

A driver can be distracted by many things, but they can be classed into three main types: visual, manual, and cognitive distractions. In particular, mobile phones are a huge distraction, whether that involves using the phone for conversation, texting or email. Then there is drowsy driving, which is just as dangerous. It is truly frightening that 37% of Americans in a recent survey have admitted to falling asleep behind the wheel within the last year. Drowsiness can lead to slow reaction time, decreased awareness, and impaired judgement. If you think about it this sounds a lot like the effect of alcohol on drivers, so it becomes clear that seriously drowsy people should not be behind the wheel.

If you buy insurance for your car, you will notice that one of the policies will cover car accidents. Accidents are extremely hazardous and can lead to fatalities. You do not want them. Here is one way to avoid them.

Make sure that you do not drink before you drive. Many people will say, "Yeah, I've been there, and I've done that. What I haven't done is be a stupid irresponsible person by driving it into a tree or running some innocent people over." Of course not, but it is only a matter of time before it will happen. One can only play with a match for a definite period of time before the match burns out and hurts your fingers. Don't risk playing with fire! Besides, you can save up on your car insurance this way.
