They recommend : "Plan your trip. Make sure your car. tires, lights, windshield wipers and brakes are in good condition. "Never stop on pavement. Don’t tailgate. Use seat belts. Vary your speed. Signal your intentions to the driver behind. Never cross lanes abruptly. When passing, start from a distance well behind the car in front of you so you have a clear view of the road ahead Look behind you, check your rear-view mirror frequently. Don’t drive when drowsy.
