A lot of people treat their car as their friend, some as their home; so they make it one. They decorate the car like their friend and dress it with cool car covers or like their room on the go and fill the car with pillows; others put in decorations depending on the season, such as hearts for Valentine’s Day or put a Christmas tree in December. Others also decorate it to make it their own and give it a touch of themselves.

There are several stores where you could buy things you could use to decorate your car; or you can ask someone to do your seat covers to make sure that the color and design you want is followed. Actually, you don’t need to go to a special car shop to buy decorations because even the common shops may have something in store that you want to put into your car – all you need is just the creativity to put all things together to form one theme.

Just take note that you still have to limit all the decorations to still keep your safety as the primary concern. Also, over decorating your car may not make it a conducive car to ride, you know what I mean? Most importantly, do not stuff the windshield with lots of stuff toys or bling-blings hanging in front of it. Too much of these could decrease the attention that we give to the road where we are driving; thus could increase the risk of having car accidents.

According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the leading cause of death for people aged 2-34 is due to vehicular accidents. Looking deeper, why this happens, we can derive the top causes of vehicular accidents.

The first major cause of accidents is due to driver’s distraction that covers 25-50% of all motor accidents. Some of these are using mobile phones while driving, arguing with someone inside the car, looking at the scenery, to name a few. It is therefore important to always keep your eye on the road and refrain from doing extra activities while driving.

Driver fatigue is another major cause for some drivers who are having long trips and for those who still drive despite staying up late or a long day of work. To avoid this, it is advisable to get a good night sleep or at least ample rest before driving. For long trips, taking a break every after two hours of driving could let you regain strength and therefore minimize fatigue.

Drunk driving is also one of the top reasons. Obviously, drunk drivers have less awareness of what’s really going on around them. Drunk drivers have less attention on the road, thus could cause an accident. Several laws on different places are already implemented to address this concern.

Prevention is better than cure, so it is important that you avoid things that could cause you so much trouble or even your life and the lives of others.
