Drive Carefully
For a few months now, the Seattle police have been implementing a campaign to encourage careful driving in busy Seattle neighbourhoods. One of the ways they're trying to get people to slow down is to put up signs like this:
I think "clever" signs will only distract drivers, causing them to take their eyes off the road, chuckle to themselves, then wrap their cars around a telephone pole.
They also have a website of pedestrian and driver safety tips, complete with brain-dead comon sense tips ("Never pass/overtake a vehicle that is stopped at a crosswalk.") and typos ("Don't let your passengers interfere with our [sic] driving.").
I feel safer already.

I agree with you for that. But there are also factors on how we can attain that Safe Driving. NSC recommends the following seven pre-start safety precautions every time a driver gets behind the wheel. And you can check it here, My Auto Parts Corner, I guarantee you the this site will help all of us, specially drivers.

That is sensible advice. I know I certainly check my tire pressure each and every time I get in my car.

"On bright days wear sunglasses or use your sun visor to minimize bright glare."
That blows my rule out of the water: "always look directly into the sun while driving."
