According to the National Safety Council, the odds of dying in an auto accident are 1 in 114. This is a frightening number considering how frequent we see accidents happen on the roads. Auto accidents are unfortunate events that no one wants to be involved in.

The best way to prevent auto accidents is to drive defensively. This means you should avoid distractions, stay alert, look down the road, avoid following too close, and anticipate other drivers’ actions. Although you can do everything right, you still may find yourself involved in an accident at one point in your life. Therefore, it is vital to be prepared for how you should react, what you should do and not do following an accident.
