AlignRight Injury &amp; Rehab in Richardson offers several treatment options for injured patients including chiropractic adjustment, rehabilitation, spinal decompression and rehabilitation in our clinic. But Dr. Z and his staff would prefer you never need these treatments to recover from car wreck injuries. We\u2019d rather help you avoid an accident in the first place! Therefore, with some help from Edmunds.com, Dr. Z offers the following driving safety tips.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Don\u2019t Live Life in the Fast Lane<\/h2>\n<p>Most highway accidents happen in the fast, or far left, lane. Driving in the center or right lanes gives you more options for escape should there be a problem that requires you to quickly change lanes or pull off on to the shoulder.<\/p>\n<h2>Look Beyond the Car in Front<\/h2>\n<p>Don\u2019t strictly focus on the car directly in front of yours. Scan the road several cars ahead, too. This way you\u2019ll be more likely to spot a problem and still have time to react. You\u2019re also less likely to rear-end the car ahead of you if they need to stop suddenly.<\/p>\n<h2>Check Your Blind Spots<\/h2>\n<p>Your side and rearview mirrors can only do so much to show you what\u2019s happening around your car. Be sure to turn around and look into the lane next to yours before making a move. Also, be aware of other drivers\u2019 blind spots and try to move out of them quickly.<\/p>\n<h2>9 and 3 for Safety<\/h2>\n<p>If the steering wheel is a clock face, then hold your hands at 9 and 3. This helps you control the car if you should need to maneuver quickly in order to avoid an accident.<\/p>\n<h2>Adjust the Driver\u2019s Seat<\/h2>\n<p>Move the seat forward or back so that when you reach for the wheel your wrists can rest on top while your arms are outstretched. In this position, your arms won\u2019t fatigue as quickly and you\u2019re positioned for evasive maneuvering.<\/p>\n<h2>Be Judgmental<\/h2>\n<p>If there\u2019s another car on the road with all-over body damage, then chances are the person behind the wheel is not a safe driver. Also, a car that drifts may indicate that the driver is tired, drunk, talking on the phone or texting. Get away!<\/p>\n<h2>Know Your Car<\/h2>\n<p>SUVs, minivans and sedans are not built like racecars\u2014so don\u2019t drive them as if they are. Know your car\u2019s limits, including how fast you can stop at varying rates of speed.<\/p>\n<h2>Maintain Your Car<\/h2>\n<p>Follow your manufacturer\u2019s recommended maintenance schedule. And be sure to change the tires when necessary.<\/p>\n<h2>Avoid Nighttime Driving<\/h2>\n<p>We know that sometimes you have to drive at night. But when you can,\u00a0avoid late hour driving when you could be tired and your field of vision\u00a0is reduced. After midnight is also particularly dangerous when bars and parties let out.<\/p>\n<h2>Take a Defensive Driving Course<\/h2>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t take driver\u2019s ed since you were a teen, then consider a refresher course. You\u2019ll learn how to react in emergency situations.<\/p>\n<h2>Contact Our Office Today<\/h2>\n<p>Even if you practice all of these steps, you may still be in an accident. If so, then Dr. Z is ready to help. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dallaschiropractor.com\/contact-us.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Call AlignRight Injury &amp; Rehab<\/a> in Richardson to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dallas chiropractor Dr. Zinovy Chukhman is ready to help your body heal after you\u2019ve been in a car accident.
