Hug the terrain
Adjust your driving style depending on the terrain you’re in. Slippery road, foggy horizons, rainy weather may require slower speeds and much greater caution. Also extra caution is needed in cliffs and mountain ridges. Better be safe than be sorry.
Suppress your need for speed
So you want to be the outlaw, the next highway star or the fast and the furious?
Think again. It’s not as easy or as cool as they make it look like in the movies.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, “the economic cost of speeding-related crashes is estimated to be $40.4 billion each year.” Excessive speed reduces reaction time and greatly increases impact and injuries.
