San Antonio Driving Safety Tips
Minimize Distractions
Distracted drivers are far more likely to wind up in accidents; when your attention isn’t fully on the road, you may forget to swerve around a pothole or miss the brake lights of the driver in front of you. Keep the music in your vehicle at a reasonable volume and switch your cell phone into “Do not disturb” or hands-free mode.
Be a Defensive Driver
Defensive driving means understanding the risks of driving and being prepared for less-than-ideal driving conditions. If there’s an aggressive speeder on the road, a defensive driver keeps their cool and allows the driver to pass. If there’s a traffic jam, a defensive driver prioritizes safety over shaving a few seconds off their trip.
Be Prepared for Bad Weather
San Antonio drivers know how quickly a serious storm can develop – make sure you’re checking severe weather warnings before you get in a car. Learn what flash flood conditions look like and consider keeping emergency supplies like bottled water, flashlights, and jumper cables in your vehicle.
Follow Road Laws
Road signs and speed limits are there to protect you and other drivers on the road. Come to a complete stop at red lights and stop signs and always follow the posted speed limit. If you’re driving through a road construction zone, lower your speed and pay attention to traffic patterns.
