Hastings & Hastings Offers Advice on Highway Safety

    PHOENIX, AZ, October 26, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- While accidents happen most frequently on city streets, the most severe accidents typically occur on freeways and highways. In an effort to keep drivers safe, Hastings & Hastings offers some tips for safe highway driving.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration offers the advice that driving safely, is living safely. The administration further goes on to comment that before anyone can drive safely, they need to make sure they are driving a safe car. Proper car maintenance can go a long ways towards keeping drivers safe out on the highway. There is no more dangerous place in the world to experience a breakdown, or have a tire blowout. Keeping their car in tiptop shape can help to keep drivers safe.

Hastings & Hastings calls upon all highway drivers to adhere to the speed limit. Drivers who habitually speed on the highway are statistically much more likely to be involved in a collision. One driver exceeding the speed limit makes it more dangerous for every other driver on the road. In addition, collisions involving a speeding vehicle are typically much more severe. Hastings & Hastings believes that one of the most important highway safety tip is this: drive the speed limit.

Highway driving involves high speeds. Proper communication between vehicles on the highway is essential if everyone is to stay safe. Hastings & Hastings advises all drivers to use their turning signals whenever they are making a lane change. Even if drivers do not believe there is another car around, they should always exhibit caution. Blind spot accidents are common on the highway. Turn signal use will warn other cars of an imminent maneuver, allowing them to take the most prudent safety precautions.

"At Hastings & Hastings we have seen every type of accident imaginable, and many of them have one thing in common - they could have been avoided. They are called accidents for a reason. Because driving is such an everyday occurrence, it is easy to forget how dangerous it really can be. We just want everyone to stay safe out there. Hopefully these easy to follow safety tips will make things a little less dangerous out on our Arizona highways," said David Hastings, founder of Hastings & Hastings.
