Speeding- Whatever the reasons, speeding can have dangerous consequences. According to studies, speeding almost triples the chance of a car accident.                               The average speeding ticket costs $150.00.

Running Red Lights - The high speed of the vehicle that runs the red light puts pedestrians and other vehicles at serious risk. Accidents that are caused when a person runs a red light tend to result in more serious injuries and deaths. City officials have even taken to installing red light cameras at certain intersections to catch and punish drivers that run red lights.                A red light ticket will cost you anywhere between $50- $500. 

Following too closely - Always make sure that there is enough space between your car and the vehicle in front of you so that you have at least three seconds to slow down in case you need to come to a sudden stop. It is very important to follow the 3 second rule, the vast majority of rear-end accidents are caused when drivers follow another vehicle too closely.  

Driving Under the Influence - Driving under the influence greatly increases a person's chances of being involved in a motor vehicle accident. If you have had anything to drink, do not drive. Arrange for a cab or a friend to drive you home.
