Driving a car is a huge responsibility, and an accident can seriously injure you or cause damage to your vehicle. That's why it's important to do everything you can to avoid a collision. Here are some tips to help lower your chances of coming into contact with a collision.

Keep your car maintained. Car maintenance isn't just about preventing a breakdown; it also has a safety component. Making sure your tires get properly inflated and that your headlights, taillights and windshield wipers work can help you stay safer while on the road.

Get accustomed if you are driving an unfamiliar car. Accidents sometimes happen because of inexperienced drivers, which includes experienced drivers driving a vehicle with which they are unfamiliar. Make sure you first get familiar with large vehicles or manual transmissions if you have never driven one before.

Stay alert. You should constantly pay attention to the road and your surroundings. Don't use your phone while driving and never drive when you are tired.
