3. Driver behavior: Safe driving practices like obeying traffic laws, avoiding distracted driving, and refraining from speeding can reduce the risk of accidents.

4. Emergency preparedness: Being prepared for emergencies like breakdowns, accidents, or bad weather can help prevent accidents and minimize their impact.

5. Enforcement: Law enforcement efforts to enforce traffic laws and penalize unsafe driving behaviors can discourage dangerous behavior and increase compliance with safety regulations.
