The vast majority of accidents are preventable. As you already know, it’s important to take your time and drive defensively. Some drivers also put too much faith in spotters, forgetting to watch themselves for overhead clearance and other hazards that spotters might overlook. Don’t be embarrassed to scout blind spots and new delivery areas on foot. And don’t take unnecessary risks by cutting corners. Instead, make an engrained habit of using extra caution, and you too can be accident free.
