Did you know that there are more than five million car accidents each year in the United States of America? One of the biggest reasons for these car accidents is bad driving habits that are practiced by the drivers on the roads and highways around you.

Learning how to improve driving skills is a vital part of becoming a responsible and good driver. This is part of your responsibility as the owner and operator of an automobile. Obeying driving laws and avoiding distracted driving is a good place to start.

The good news is that you’re in the perfect place to learn about how to avoid getting in a car accident by improving your driving habits. Keep reading this article to learn more.

1. Distracted Driving

Distracted driving is a real problem on the roadways of the United States. The use of smartphones when behind the wheel is a major culprit in the number of accidents that happen each year. It could be browsing social media or responding to a text message.

All that matters is that your attention is somewhere besides operating your motor vehicle and the vehicles around you. This puts you and others in harm’s way. Avoid distracted driving by putting your phone away and focusing on the road.

2. Failure to Signal

Your vehicle’s blinkers are there for a reason. You need to use them to signal your intentions to other drivers. This is a vital part of avoiding getting in a car accident, especially at intersections.

It is also a key part of obeying driving laws and you’re at risk of getting a citation and fine if law enforcement catches you turning without using your signals.

3. Rolling Through Stop Signs

Many people choose to roll through stop signs rather than come to a complete stop. This might not seem like a big deal but eventually, it will lead to a car accident that might cause harm or injury to you or other drivers on the road.

They’re called stop signs for a reason. When you encounter one you need to make sure that your vehicle comes to a complete and total stop. This is for the good of everyone on the roads.

4. Unsafe Merging

Another bad habit that many new drivers take part in is a failure to merge in a safe way. This could be getting on the freeway or it might be turning onto a street that features a yield sign.

Be sure to check any and all directions that a car could come from when you decide to merge.

5. Speeding

It is normal to find yourself speeding if you’re in a hurry or worried that you’ll be late getting somewhere. You need to know that speeding is one of the main causes of getting in a car accident.

The speed limit exists for a reason and you need to stay within it. Even if you don’t get in an accident you’ll be facing hefty fines if you get pulled over by law enforcement for driving too fast, especially on busy roads.

Create Safe Driving Habits Today

The best way to prevent a car accident is by practicing good driving habits. Make sure that you put your phone away when you’re behind the wheel of a vehicle and avoid speeding at all times. You should also take care to merge in a safe and aware manner.
