It’s the most dangerous thing I do everyday

Sure, I take my time and obey the traffic laws, but it’s still an incredibly dangerous thing I do, and I do it everyday.
Just a quick post on some nice tips UPS had to say about driving safely:
- Look as far down the road as possible to uncover important traffic information to make appropriate decisions.
- Maintain the proper following distance so you can comfortably determine the true hazards around your vehicle. Don’t tailgate others.
- Scan – don’t stare. Constantly shift you eyes while driving. Active eyes keep up with changing traffic conditions.
- Be prepared. Surround your vehicle with space in front and at least on one side to escape conflict.
- Communicate in traffic with your horn, lights and signals to establish eye contact with motorists and pedestrians. Be reasonably sure of people’s intentions.
