But let\u2019s face it\u2014avoiding pain in the first place is a better option. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dallaschiropractor.com\/our-services.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Car accidents\u00a0<\/a>are a leading cause of painful injury. So, if you know how to avoid collisions then you just might be able to stay away from pain, too. Here are some interesting facts to help you drive defensively and avoid accidents.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Fact #1: Most Car Accidents Happen Within 3 Miles of Home<\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ve probably heard it before\u2014the majority of car accidents happen on roads that drivers traverse every day. Makes sense when you think about it. When you\u2019re driving on a familiar road, you don\u2019t need to pay as close attention. After all, you know where you\u2019re going, because you\u2019ve driven this road hundreds of times before. But there can still be surprises on familiar roads. Pay attention!<\/p>\n<h2>Fact #2: Seatbelt Laws Exist in All 50 States<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, they are just that important. You need to wear your seatbelt whenever you\u2019re in a car, whether you are the driver or passenger. When a vehicle is moving forward, your body is moving forward at the same rate of speed. If there is a collision and the car stops suddenly, your body continues moving forward until something else stops it. Don\u2019t let that something be the steering wheel, dashboard or windshield. Wear your seatbelt!<\/p>\n<h2>Fact #3: Almost Half of All Fatal Car Accidents Involve Alcohol<\/h2>\n<p>Don\u2019t drink and drive. That doesn\u2019t mean don\u2019t have a couple of drinks and drive. It means don\u2019t drink at all and drive. There are so many ways to avoid drinking and driving. If you\u2019re out with friends, designate a driver who will not imbibe in order to make sure everyone gets home safely. Call a taxi, call Uber or Lyft. If you\u2019re at a special celebration such as a wedding, then consider booking a hotel room for the night so you don\u2019t even need to worry about how you\u2019ll get home when the evening ends.<\/p>\n<h2>Fact #4: Distractions Are a Common Cause of Car Accidents<\/h2>\n<p>Along with fatigue, environmental conditions\u2014rainy or snowy weather\u2014and medical or emotional impairments, distractions are a leading cause of car accidents. What constitutes a distraction? Anything that takes your eyes or mind off of the road. So don\u2019t text or make a phone call, don\u2019t mess with the radio dial, don\u2019t put on makeup or shave, and save the heated discussion in the car for when you get home. Just drive!<\/p>\n<p>Despite every precaution, accidents still happen.
