Caption: Yikes. You’re 23 times more likely to crash when texting and driving. Also, texting behind the wheel while going 55 mph is like driving the length of a football field with a blindfold on.
Caption: Make sure you always stay 3 seconds or more away from the car ahead of you. When the car in front of you is lined up with a “marker,” like a light pole or traffic sign, count how long it takes you to get to the same marker after them. By the way, it’s best to stay even further than 3 seconds away when on the highway.
Caption: When you see flashing lights or hear sirens, always pull over to the right side of the road.
Caption: It’s dangerous to drive on tires with low tread, so check the condition of your tires often.
