The best location in the car is in the back seat. Do not place a child safety seat in the front passenger position if there is a passenger-side air bag. Following too close to the car in front of you causes many car crashes. Allow at least one car length for each ten miles per hour speed. Do not speed up to try to make it through the intersection when the signal turns yellow.
Teenagers have many more car crashes than older persons.
Place limits on the amount of unsupervised driving you allow a teen. Driving faster than the speed limit makes it more difficult to react and as results in greater impact should there be a crash. If you are tired, pull off of the road to a safe spot and take a nap, or trade drivers. Many accidents occur due to driver fatigue. Keep your trunk well stocked with a flashlight, flares, a spare tire, a jack and a first aid kit.
