Explain the term "injury prevention" and give examples of ways to prevent at least three specific injuries. Injury prevention is the things that we do, in order to protect ourselves, and/or others, from getting injured. Stretching before exercise is a form of injury prevention. Wearing a helmet is injury prevention to the head. Wearing a seatbelt can prevent lots of injuries from car accidents.
This helps to stop accidents because it removes distractions from a p-plate driver so they can focus solely on driving. Another danger P-plate drivers face while on the roads is their driving speed. If a driver is going too fast, they are not able to stop fast enough or pay enough attention while driving, which can cause accidents. The current p-plate laws are effective in reducing accidents through a drivers speed by introducing laws which limit p-plate drivers to the speed of 90km/h, as well as not allowing p-plate drivers to drive turbo or supercharged engines or have modifications in their engines. These p-plate laws are affective in reducing accidents on the road, because they reduce p-plate drivers to a low speed as well as slow cars.
