These tips for the road may keep you safer next time you travel \u2015 whether it is a short commute to work or a longer trip to visit family and friends. Keep an eye out for these unsafe drivers, and be sure to avoid these behaviors yourself:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Distracted drivers<\/strong> \u2015 Distracted driving behaviors include texting, talking on a mobile phone, rubbernecking, and adjusting technologies such as radio, GPS, etc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Driver fatigue<\/strong> \u2015 Drowsy driving leads to drifting vehicles, varying road speeds, and bad decision-making.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Drunk driving or driving under the influence<\/strong> \u2015 Drunk drivers kill about 16,000 people per year.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Speeding<\/strong> \u2015 Speeding increases the risk of crashing, and reduces the time necessary to avoid a crash.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Aggressive driving<\/strong> \u2015 Aggressive drivers tend to tailgate, flash their lights, fail to yield, disregard traffic signals or display rude or aggressive behavior. Do not engage aggressive drivers, and call 911 if a driver is behaving in an overtly dangerous way.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weather<\/strong> \u2015 Inclement weather such as snow, ice or other hazardous conditions can make driving dangerous.
