These tragedies underscored the importance of driving responsibly and served as stark reminders that even careful drivers can fall victim to others' reckless behavior.
Tips for Safer Driving
While some circumstances are beyond control, adopting careful driving habits can significantly reduce accident risks. Here are tips to enhance your road safety:
