Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai has said that 489,606 accidents were reported in 2015, while there were 476,196 road accidents in 2014.

If you ever get involved in a car accident, there are certain things you can do to protect yourself and your interests. The following is a list of things you should do during and after getting into a car accident:

Road Safety Tips:

Wear seat-belt and which is required by laws anyway, you could find a better way to contribute our beloved country financially, paying traffic summons isn’t the best idea.
Don’t use mobile phone while driving, even using “hand-free” devices cannot eliminate distractions totally.
Take a 15-minute-break for every 200km or 2 hours, whenever you are driving long journey, as tiredness is one of the major reasons of causing car accidents.
Use car seat when you have young passenger.
Don’t drink alcohol and drive.
Always keep a safe distance from the front vehicle.
Ensure vehicle is roadworthy with regular maintenance.
Do not overload vehicle ( another good reason cut body weight !! )
Be visible when driving in the dark, get the lights on. (rest assured, no electricity bill)
Overtake other vehicle only when it is absolutely safe to do so.
Be a polite road user and don’t retaliate when you are challenged by others.
