Automotive accidents can be devastatingly tragic, but even the minor ones can be quite costly to the vehicle(s), drivers, passengers, and environment. One of the worst scenarios for any gas vehicle is to be stuck in a perpetual motion of brief acceleration, quick braking, then followed by ample idling. Sitting in stop and go traffic due to an accident not only significantly reduces the miles per gallon of gas vehicles, but it also increases their overall emissions output. To help from becoming a part of this equation, here are 19 tips to help avoid the possibility of an auto accident.
