Whether we&#8217;re commuting to work or heading out on a road trip, it&#8217;s an activity that most of us engage in regularly.

Shockingly, in 2021 alone, 807 accidents* were caused by drivers going against the traffic flow, resulting in 29 deaths and 712 cases of damage. Don&#8217;t let your recklessness put yourself and others at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Over-speeding\"><\/span>Over-speeding<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Speeding causes road accidents and is entirely preventable if drivers take control of their driving behaviour. Despite knowing the consequences, many drivers still take this dangerous risk. Temptation and unawareness of the posted speed limit are common reasons, but the dangers of speeding are significant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It decreases reaction time and makes collisions more fatal. Driving at just 100km\/h rather than 40km\/h can mean the difference between life and death for pedestrians. So, slow down and be safe. Remember, the penalties for speeding can be severe, so it&#8217;s not worth the risk!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Texting_While_Driving\"><\/span>Texting While Driving<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you guilty of texting while driving? You might want to think twice! Using a mobile phone while driving is not only dangerous but also increases your risk of getting into a road traffic accident by up to four times. Studies have shown that even using hands-free devices can slow down your reaction time, leading to a potential disaster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only that, but you could also face serious legal consequences, including hefty fines and even jail time. Remember, it&#8217;s not worth the risk of taking your eyes off the road and your hands off the steering wheel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Distracted_Driving\"><\/span>Distracted Driving<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Driving requires your full attention and focus, but there are many things that can divert your attention away from the road. From chatting with your passengers to snacking behind the wheel, distractions can come in many forms. We&#8217;ve already talked about the dangers of texting and calling while driving, but did you know that even something as small as changing the radio station can lead to an accident?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t underestimate the power of distraction &#8211; loud music can also be a culprit. So, make sure to keep your radio volume at a comfortable level to avoid any unnecessary distractions while driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Running_Red_Lights\"><\/span>Running Red Lights<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ignoring a red light is not just against the law, it&#8217;s also reckless behaviour that can cause harm to both the driver and other people sharing the road. It&#8217;s an offence that deserves special attention because of its high frequency and the risks it poses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t be tempted to beat the red light &#8211; it&#8217;s not worth the fine or potential imprisonment, and it&#8217;s definitely not worth putting yourself and others in danger of road accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Exhaustion\"><\/span>Exhaustion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Feeling tired after a long drive is something most of us can relate to. But did you know that fatigue can actually put you in danger? It can make you lose focus, feel drowsy, and even doze off for a few seconds &#8211; a condition known as micro-sleeping. And those few seconds could be all it takes for you to drift off course and end up in a collision. Don&#8217;t underestimate the power of fatigue on the road. Stay alert and stay safe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Drugs_or_Alcohol\"><\/span>Drugs or Alcohol<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you aware that driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is illegal in Malaysia? According to Section 45A of the Road Transport Act 1987, you can be fined up to RM30,000 and jailed for up to two years if caught breaking this law. It&#8217;s not worth the risk! Driving while intoxicated impairs your judgment and slows down your reaction time, making you a danger to yourself and other road users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can prevent accidents by simply avoiding drugs and alcohol before driving. Better yet, if you&#8217;re planning on drinking, be sure to have a designated driver to take you home safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Poor_Vehicle_Maintenance\"><\/span>Poor Vehicle Maintenance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Neglecting regular vehicle maintenance is a recipe for disaster on the roads. It&#8217;s not just about following the manufacturer&#8217;s schedule; it&#8217;s about ensuring that your vehicle is roadworthy at all times. From deflated tyres to worn-out brake pads, even the slightest mechanical failure can lead to a catastrophic accident. Don&#8217;t take chances with your safety and those of others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay fully protected by being a responsible driver and making sure your vehicle is in top shape. While accidents can happen unexpectedly, taking proactive measures could make all the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bad_Weather\"><\/span>Bad Weather<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Driving during bad weather can be a daunting task, especially when heavy rains reduce visibility and make roads slick and slippery. But that&#8217;s not all! Wet roads can turn your ride into a nightmare, making it tough to brake or steer, and even causing your car to hydroplane. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine losing control of your car while your steering wheel feels light as a feather, and your brakes won&#8217;t respond! It&#8217;s even more dangerous when you&#8217;re driving at high speeds since you&#8217;ll have zero control over your car. And let&#8217;s not forget about the strong winds, which can make it feel like you&#8217;re driving through a hurricane, especially for larger vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Road_Conditions\"><\/span>Road Conditions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As much as we hate traffic, we loathe bad roads even more. They&#8217;re a top contributor to accidents and can cause even the most cautious driver to lose control of their vehicle. Potholes, loose gravel, and other obstacles can be treacherous, causing collisions and even rollovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for bikers, who only have two points of contact with the road, bad road conditions are a recipe for disaster. They struggle to navigate around hazards and maintain control on uneven surfaces. In Malaysia, uneven lanes, missing guardrails, and faint road lines are all too common, creating chaos and confusion for drivers and resulting in unfortunate accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to driving, risks are everywhere and road accidents can happen to anyone. That&#8217;s why having the right insurance coverage is crucial. With a trustworthy insurance policy in place, you can rest easy knowing that you&#8217;ll be covered in case of any losses resulting from an accident.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em data-l-s=\"67471\"><em><em data-l-s=\"67471\"><em>Bjak is one of Malaysia&#8217;s biggest insurance comparison websites, offering policies from over 10 brands.
