In vehicles equipped with airbags, the risk of injury is diminished greatly. Make sure that a baby's restraint is tightly secured to a vehicle's back seat with an adult safety belt and that the child is buckled into the restraint. Children should always ride in the back seat until they are thirteen. Pregnant women should avoid driving because they are at risk of being injured from the airbag. Keep both hands on the upper portion of the steering wheel between nine and three o'clock.
Many drivers lose their cool and recklessly disregard the safety of themselves and other drivers.
Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. Do not block the passing lane. Stay out of the far left lane of the freeway and yield to the right for any vehicle that wants to pass. Do not switch lanes without signaling your intention and make sure you don't cut someone off when changing lanes. Don't forget to turn off your signal.
