- Driver distractions
- Unsafe speed
- Improper turns
- Not following the right-of-way rules
- Not following stop signals and signs
- Driving on the wrong side of the road
- A vehicle traveling faster or slower than the flow of traffic
If you see a vehicle’s emergency flashers ahead, slow down. There may be a collision or other road emergency. Pass carefully.
