Your reaction to a sudden dangerous situation on the highway can help you avoid the most dangerous thing you will most likely do on a regular basis.

Read:

Read the road ahead. Are there sharp curves, heavy traffic or pedestrians coming up? It's all about being prepared. Be observant when approaching intersections. Keep a lookout for drivers that aren't slowing and may run a stop sign or red light.

Right:

When traveling on a four lane highway the safest lane is usually the right lane. If there are 3 or more lanes the middle lanes are more safe since you won't have to deal with as much merging traffic.
