How does this sound?
How would you evaluate the possibility of your being involved in a collision? Explain.
A: In any given year, the likelihood of your being involved in a collision is about 1 in 9. No matter how confident you may feel or how well you've mastered the basics of driving, the risk of being involved in a collision is always present. Many factors contribute to the degree of risk when you drive. Some are obvious, such as bad weather or poor roads. Others, such as the condition of your vehicle, may be less obvious, but they are just as important to consider.

And so is driver error caused by distractions such as texting while driving, eating why driving, putting on your makeup while driving, etc., as well as poor judgement by the driver, no matter how well she knows the rules of the road.
It sounds good, but does this help any?
1. Avoid the fast lane
By using the center or right lane on multilane roads, you have more "escape routes" should a problem suddenly arise that requires you to quickly change lanes or pull onto the shoulder. Most highway accidents occur in the left lane
2. Keep your eyes scanning ahead
Don't just eyeball the car in front of you but watch the traffic in front of that car as well.
3. Beware of blind spots
adjust your side mirrors and rearview mirror to provide you with one near seamless panoramic scene of the view behind you, but don't rely solely on them.
4. Know your cars limits
be familiar with the limits of your car's brakes and tires. How long does it take to stop when you apply maximum pressure? How much grip do your tires have? If you replaced your car's stock tires with a cheap set, chances are you've reduced its braking and handling capability.
