What is one of the best defenses against drunk drivers?

Driving under the speed limit
Proper wearing of seat belt
Avoiding driving at night
Listening to music while driving

The correct answer is: Proper wearing of seat belt

Wearing a seatbelt significantly enhances your safety and is one of the most effective measures to protect yourself and your passengers in the event of a collision, particularly involving a drunk driver. When a crash occurs, seatbelts prevent occupants from being ejected from the vehicle, which is a major cause of fatalities in accidents. They also help to absorb the force of the impact and keep drivers and passengers securely in their seats, reducing the severity of injuries. While driving under the speed limit and avoiding driving at night can be beneficial strategies for increasing safety on the road, they do not directly mitigate the risks associated with encountering drunk drivers. Listening to music, while it can contribute to a more enjoyable driving experience, does not offer any protective benefits in the event of an accident involving impaired drivers. Thus, proper seatbelt use stands out as a key defense in safeguarding lives when facing the dangers posed by drunk driving.
