Few things spur a sense of freedom and adventure like driving a car down an open road. You can explore new places, visit family and friends, and arrive to work on time — barring unexpected traffic. While driving a vehicle provides plenty of enjoyment, it can be a dangerous activity. From distractions to speeding to road rage, many factors put you and your fellow drivers in danger.
Safety should always be your number one priority when getting behind the wheel, whether you’re alone or with passengers. After all, driving is a privilege, not a right. To earn and keep a driver’s license, you must prove to the state you have the skills and knowledge to drive safely. If you don’t follow the rules of the road, you could face several penalties, including a license suspension or revocation.
