If you have young children, you want to make sure that you choose the proper car seat, and ultimately transition to a booster seat. There are many on the market, and you want to pick ones that are based upon the height and weight of your child to provide sufficient protection.
Operation Lifesaver promotes railroad safety, and it has been estimated that a train is responsible for striking a pedestrian or vehicle every three hours in America. Always stop at railroad crossings when the barriers are down and wait for the all clear before crossing them.
Any time that you are driving in a bad weather, you also want to make sure that your headlights are on. It’s also a good idea to reduce speed so that you can react to everything that is going on around you. Change out your windshield wipers in a timely fashion so that they are capable of clearing the windshield.
Always look both ways before crossing the road and even turning into traffic.
By using safe driving habits every time you get behind the wheel, you are also demonstrating how to be a safe driver to your children so that when they grow up, they use the same tactics. They will learn from you, so it is important to lead by example.
