5 Driving Tips For Surviving Roads In Arkansas

This rule definitely applies to driving anywhere, but especially in Arkansas. The Natural State is full of curves and construction; at any given moment a glance at the cell phone can turn a joyride into a terrible accident.

Seriously, if you feel the need to brag about your driving skills at a certain age, you're likely either too young to be behind the wheel or you're at the stage in life where it's time to ask others for help getting from point A to point B.

Arkansas has a great number of 18-wheelers that ride along the roads with everyday commuters. Truckers are required to be alert on the road to keep their jobs and to help keep everyone safe. Everyday commuters should also shoulder their share of driving responsibly by getting a proper amount of sleep before getting on the road too - caffeine can only take you so far. Not everyone's job depends on driving safely, but many lives depend on safe drivers!

There's a LOT of things about driving around Arkansas that will frustrate you besides the drivers (construction, obstructions, animals, etc.) - but it doesn't have to escalate. Take a moment to remember it's more important to arrive alive than to get ahead of (or even with) a fellow driver.

You really never know when you'll need those all-important insurance papers when it comes to your health, your boat, your house, or your car, now do you?
