Paying attention to the road and adapting both your speed and your driving style to the given road conditions is a very important aspect. It is vital for your safety and the safety of others to keep that in mind. Another important aspect is maintaining a constant and safe distance from the car in front, so that you can always brake safely.
To prove our point, we have found this video from Russia, in which the driver of a Fiat Regata fails to stay within the lane markers, then realizes it, pulls hard to the right, but it is already too late as he clips a Ford Focus, then crashes into three other cars. This accident was undoubtedly due to a lack of attention and awareness - the driver was probably texting, lighting up a cigarette, changing the radio station or simply looking out the window (it does happen).
Drive safely and always be aware of your surroundings, speed and road conditions!
