[P352]Pictures Of Car Accidents

by Peter Bassett, Pet

Remember back in the day when you went to take that routine driver's education? I have to say, I don't think anyone really enjoys this. You do some reading, note taking, slow driving and watch the classic video tapes loaded with nasty car accidents. Good times! Now, the point of all this is not only to teach you proper driving skills, but also to make sure you know how to drive safely. This part is crucial. Especially for teenagers just receiving their licenses. I suppose they need as much scaring as instructors can muster.

We tend to get in a rut. Most people get up in the morning, hop in their car and drive to school or work. It's a routine we know by heart and it doesn't faze us one bit. After all, what's there to worry about? We're just going through the motions like we always do. Nothing bad generally happens. So why would today be any different? However, what we forget is that car accidents can occur at any time. It could be you, or it could be some poor old lady 8 cars ahead of you. This means that you not only have to drive safely, but you also have to watch how others around you are driving. That car three vehicles ahead of you could lose control today and smash into a semi. This in turn could affect you almost instantly. After all, you are on the same road, highway, or interstate. Yes sir, when you're behind that wheel, you have to be on full alert at all times. Most car accidents occur because people are not. You wouldn't believe how often people crash their cars because of tiny things like dropping a cigarette or changing the radio station.

Driving is a privilege; not a right! We've all heard this spiel before, and as much as we hate to hear it, it's the truth. Some folks are not fit to drive. Once you pull out onto that highway, you have a lot of responsibility in your hands. Not everyone takes this seriously enough. So the next time you're in a hurry and decide to speed around everyone, I suggest you remember those hideous car accidents they showed you back in driver's education. Maybe speeding is not such a great plan after all.

It has been revealed that many drivers feelsafer once they are driving in their familiar neighbourhood and tend to relaxand not take as much care as they would when driving in an area they areunfamiliar with. This area tends to extend as far as ten miles from the drivershome, with the worst areas for accidents being within five miles of home.

What this means for motorists is that theyshould not drop their guard when driving in their ?comfort zone?. Remember thatother drivers in the area may feel the same way, as well as pedestrians andchildren playing in the street.

Do not take off your safety belt justbecause you are driving in your suburb, or just popping to the corner shop. Donot think that you know the streets are quiet at this time of the day andneglect to check your mirrors.

Even with to helpyou out, an accident is never a good thing and will most probably mean a risein premiums and you could also lose your no claims discount. And if you decideto find a cheaper option, your accident history could then count against you andmake it harder for you to find a cheaper premium.
