Peter Attia has done some research into how we end up getting killed or maimed in traffic accidents. And he offers some tips on avoiding killing ourselves, killing others, and being killed by others.

The three things that struck me as the most important are:
- Don't drive with alcohol in your body even if you are below the legal limit.
- Don't speed.
- Look left first at intersections even if you have the right of way.
In drivers killed on 2-lane rural roads, 50% involved a driver not wearing a seat belt. Close to 40% have alcohol in their system and nearly 90% of these drivers were over the legal limit of 0.08 g/dL. About one-third involved speeding, and 16% did not have a valid driver’s license.
assume someone like this person is on the road at all times, and his sole purpose is to kill you. He’s a serial killer and uses his vehicle as his murder weapon. His killing statistics eerily resemble the overall fatal crash statistics. He does a lot of his killings at intersections, but isn’t shy about hopping on the freeway and taking people out there, too.
