Your attitude about road usage

The driver's attitude is one of the most important factors that can help to reduce accidents. If you are driving on the road to satisfy your lust for speed or your desire to show off, that can become a potential danger. Always consider your car as something that is dangerous and must be handled carefully and with responsibility. This way, you can help to minimize accidents or become the cause of one. Good drivers are generally alert. They observe other road users carefully, and anticipate their actions so as to avoid accidents. It is better to be a ‘defensive' driver than an ‘aggressive' one. By driving courteously and showing concern for other road users, you can help to reduce accident statistics. Better yet, do not become one yourself. Here are some tips on how to manage your attitude: 1. Show consideration to all other road users 2. Control your temper whatever the cause 3. Obey traffic rules 4. Do not allow the stupidity or irresponsibility of other road users to affect your own judgment and good manners
