10 tips to improve your driving

1. Be aware. Keep your eye on traffic flow in general and on the car in front of you.
2. Follow safely. Leave enough space between you and the car you're following.
3. Limit distractions. Give driving your attention and limit distractions - like your cell phone or music - to stay safe.
4. Confidence matters. Drive with confidence and humility. Be brave, but be smart!
5. Be smart about turns. Be aware of a car's turning radius — especially when parking.
6. Keep your eyes on the prize. Slow to allow someone to merge if lanes narrow, and look before backing out of a parking spot.
7. Send a signal. Use your turn signals to tell other drivers your intentions.
8. Drive local. Double-check local traffic laws to avoid easily preventable slip-ups, like speeding.
9. Make safety matter. Make your safety and the safety of others your first priority.
10. Be weather-smart. Choose to arrive late rather than getting a ticket or in an accident if conditions change.
