To reduce the risk of being involved in a crash, drivers should:

Avoid driving during rush hour.
Ignore other drivers on the road.
Drive on side streets and back roads whenever possible.
Communicate with other drivers on the road.
Explanation

To minimize the risk of collisions, effective communication with fellow drivers is important. Always warn other drivers when you are going to change direction or slow down. By signaling your intentions through the use of turn signals, you give other road users time to react to your moves. Signaling ahead of maneuvers such as changing lanes, turning, merging, or parking allows surrounding drivers to anticipate and react accordingly.
