Four Driving Safety Habits and Post-Collision Care

Safe driving habits can reduce risk, but no checklist guarantees that a collision or whiplash injury will be prevented.

1. Use seat belts appropriately on every trip

2. Avoid phone use and other driving distractions

3. Follow speed limits and adjust to road conditions

4. Consult your vehicle manual for seating and head-restraint adjustment

If a collision occurs, seek appropriate medical evaluation based on your concerns. Do not assume a safety habit proves that you could not have been injured.
