Hint: Road accidents are a major concern nowadays in India and also all over the world. They could be due to drink and drive cases, due to other obstacles on the road. We need to drive slowly during the peak hours and pull into traffic slowly. We need to watch for red light runners continuously.

Complete answer:
We need to develop the right attitude about driving. We need to get as much as supervised driving practice as possible. Make sure that we are wearing our seat belt every time we ride. We should not drive while we are drunk and we should not be on drugs while we ride. Get into the habit of wearing a safety belt whenever you are in a car, whether as a driver or a passenger - no exceptions. Even if you've consumed only one drink or smoked one joint, there is a chemical effect on your brain that can impair judgment and reaction time. Driving under the influence of alcohol, marijuana or other drugs can cost you your license - or your life. Fast-moving, high volumes of traffic can make you feel uncomfortable, so avoid them until you can get enough supervised driving experience. Then you can gradually introduce more difficult driving situations, like highway driving, merging and driving in cities. One of the worst habits anyone can get into is talking on a cell phone while driving. Keep a cell phone with you in the car for emergency situations only. If you have to use a cell phone, pull safely over to the side of the road.

Note:
One of the most important things to be taken care of when we buy a new car is the safety rating of the car. We need to take advice from the insurance institute for highway safety as they do the crash tests and provide valuable information about safety tests.
