 - Experience: Gradually gain experience in various driving conditions.
 - Self-Assessment: Regularly evaluate your driving behaviours and attitudes towards risk.
 - Adhering to Rules: Follow traffic laws designed to minimize risk.

 - Technological Aids: Use safety features and warning systems in modern vehicles.
 
By maintaining a balanced risk tolerance, drivers can make informed decisions and enhance road safety.
