If you know the risks involved with an activity, including driving your vehicle, it might help you avoid catastrophe. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to uncover the risks associated with all activities. However, you can mitigate your risk by investigating the auto accident hazards in your community.
Denver, Colorado, has several notoriously dangerous streets on which many auto accidents occur each year. When you know what roads are the most accident-prone, you can choose alternate routes or take other steps to ensure your safety.
