A wise approach would be to avoid occasions of traffic crashes altogether. To do this, one must try to obey all traffic safety regulations. They include avoiding driving while intoxicated, avoiding speed, and desisting from driving unauthorized vehicles. Adhering to all traffic symbols, including stop signs and red lights, also facilitates the prevention of road accidents.
