Safe Driving Practices for Houston Roadways
- Avoid driving in inclement weather if at all possible.
- Always wear your seat-belt when driving.
- Never drink and drive, or drive under the influence of mind altering substances.
- Slow down. Excessive speed is one of the largest contributing factors in Texas roadway fatalities.
- Beware of black ice.
- Put down your cell phone and mobile device. Texting and driving, and being distracted by mobile devices is becoming a large contributing factor to US roadway fatalities.
- Avoid tailgating. Tailgating will shorten your available reaction time in an emergency situation and also increases the likelihood of road rage.
- Don’t brake during a turn. Traction is generated by rolling tires. Braking during a turn increases the chance that your wheels will lose traction during a critical moment. Ensure that your speed is safe before entering the turn.
- Turn into a skid. This is the best way to regain control of your vehicle during a skid.
