To avoid having to make an emergency stop while driving in traffic, drivers should:

Drive in the right lane only.
Drive slower than the flow of traffic.
Look ahead and maintain a safe following distance.
Sound their horn to warn other drivers.
Explanation

By looking ahead and maintaining a safe following distance, drivers can avoid making sudden and unexpected stops, which can cause accidents. Keeping a safe distance allows drivers to have enough time to react to any potential hazards or obstacles in their path, such as a slow-moving vehicle, a sudden traffic jam, or any other unexpected situation.
