Drive a bigger car for bigger crumple zones. (Not an SUV, which are top-heavy and roll more.) In a collision, people in smaller cars generally suffer worse injuries. Crash test reports are great reading.
Don't go on a motorcycle, ever. Even if you're ridiculously careful, car drivers aren't.
Do an advanced driving course, then drive like a granny anyway.
I do not have a citation but I do recall reading that taking advanced driving courses was not cost effective because the increase in over-confidence countered the modest improvements in skill. So A made you less likely to do B.
We do need a citation for the claim that an advanced driving course does good. And we need to be aware that people running such courses are not disinterested parties.
