There is no better way to stay safe than to avoid situations that are dangerous or could become dangerous.

Avoid behaviors that can be distracting to those driving a car.

Avoid behaviors that can be misinterpreted as aggression and anger someone else.

Budget enough time, so that you don't need to be in a hurry.

Choose your friends wisely.

If tensions are brewing, slow things. Don't hesitate…mediate…or separate the parties.

Prevention is no accident.  It takes knowledge, skill and proactive actions.
