Each year heavy is the blood tax paid by passengers on the roads of the European Union.

There are some habits which pose many risks while driving.

It is known that alcohol and driving they don’t go together. Even a small amount of alcohol reduces the driver’s reaction time and actually increases the chances of being involved in an accident. The same thing happens with the use of drugs.

Research has shown that drugs have negative consequences on the perception and correct thinking of the driver.

Fatigue and sleepiness can have devastating effects on driving.

Inadequate sleep slows reaction time and causes prolonged attention deficit.

Seat belts are known to save lives.

It is the first thing a driver and passengers should do when they get into the car. After all, car safety systems are meaningless if the driver and passengers are not wearing seat belts.

The driver should not wear headphones, as loud music isolates him and limits his perception.

Browsing the central touchscreen while driving can distract the driver for several seconds, increasing accident rates.

Using a mobile phone while driving is a bad habit of many drivers.

By paying attention to the mobile, the car can travel many meters, without control. In recent years, mobile phones have been the main cause of many accidents due to carelessness.

The presence of an animal in the car can distract the driver.

In fact, according to research, almost 25% of those who drive with their animals in the car state that they have used their hands to keep their dog in place when they had to brake suddenly. This alone points to the necessity of a special seat for animals.

Modern travel rates and lack of free time force many drivers to eat while driving. It is good for the driver to park his car for a while and dismiss his meal.

Poorly maintained cars endanger the lives of the driver and passengers, as well as other road users. Poor tire condition and poorly maintained suspensions increase the chances of being involved in an accident.

Excessively high speed is the main cause of accidents. Drivers’ compliance with road speed limits will significantly reduce accidents.

Nerves while driving don’t help.

The angry driver also endangers the other users, as he does not act sensibly, makes sudden braking or presses the gas suddenly, treating the other users as his enemies.

Placing your feet on the board is strictly prohibited.

In the event of a collision and the airbags deploy, the legs will be thrown backwards, seriously injuring the front passenger.

Finally, we never put small children in the front seats, and not even in the back without special seats. They should always be fastened with a seat belt.
