Top 5 Idiot Moves by Drivers  
WORSTS 

Tags: cars, driving, mistakes, accidents, injury, crash, ticket

The following are the top causes of car accidents. Avoid these habits and you won't be filing insurance claims anytime soon.

1.	Multi-tasking While Driving: Driving Tip: When You Turn the Car On, Turn the Gadgets Off. No matter how busy your day is, when you’re on the road, focus only on driving. Catch up on other activities later and avoid unnecessary accidents.
2.	Following Too Closely : Driving Tip: One Thousand One, One Thousand Two. Leave a two-second cushion between you and the vehicle ahead – it could save your bumper and your life. Make sure to double or triple that time when the weather is bad or the pavement is slick.
3.	Failure to Yield on a Left-Hand Turn: Driving Tip: Check the Flow Before You Go. Look at the street you are turning into to make sure that no vehicles or pedestrians are in your path.
4.	Incorrect Merging: Driving Tip: Yellow is for Yield. Accidents often occur when you are stuck behind a driver who interprets yield as stop. Don’t be the guilty party. Use the ramp as a means for merging into traffic, not causing it.
5.	Backing Up: Driving Tip: Look Over Your Shoulder. Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear. Your mirrors have a margin of error; don’t rely on them alone. Look over your shoulder before backing up.
