  1. Title: ___________________________________________________________________________

No one wants to be in an automobile accident or plans to have one, but many people get hurt on the highway every day. Often they are the ones who caused the accident because they were careless. They didn't keep their car in good shape, their mind on the road, their hands on the wheel, or their eyes on the speed limit signs.

Main idea: ___________________________________________________________________________

  1. Title: ____________________________________________________________________
