A couple of tips can help you drive safely. Make sure you have a scraper in your car so you can clear all the ice off your front, rear and side windows.

Modern automobile data recording devices record up to 20 seconds of information before any crash. The data recorded can include whether the passengers of the car were wearing seatbelts, the car speed at any point in that 20 seconds, the acceleration of the car in that 20 seconds, the percent of the engine throttle and gas pedal, when the brakes were activated, when the antilock braking device was activated and more.

In my experience, accidents do not just happen. Thus, to call car collisions accidents is a misnomer. What I mean is they are collisions usually caused by one of the drivers failure to follow the rules of the road.

If your car is not on fire, or if you are no longer in immediate danger, while in your car, do not move.

While riding in a car or truck, a person is travelling at the same speed as the vehicle. If the vehicle has to make a quick stop, the people in the bed are going to keep moving because they have no brake (ie the seatbelt). So they either fly out of the truck bed or they hit the truck itself.
