Learning on the Go! Safe Driving Powered by 9 simple steps to a secure vehicle!
Fasten the Seat Belt • Seat belts can reduce your health risks during an accident by 50%. • Ensure that your seat belts are in proper condition. • For maximum protection, keep your seat backrest upright with your seatbelt on.
Keep Head Restraints • Head restraints are extensions of the car seat that limit the movement of your head during impact. • Ensure that the height of your head rest corresponds with the height and position of you head for maximum protection.
Airbags, Brakes, Tyres • Airbags protect your face and torso from impact. • Check your brakes regularly, and remember that it is harder to brake on loose soil and wet roads. • Regularly check your tyre pressure and replace worn-out tyres.
Dos and Don’ts - I • NEVER drink and drive. • If you are taking medications for anything, check the labels and ask your doctor to ensure that they won’t make you drowsy. If they do, avoid driving after taking them. • Avoid driving when you are exhausted or sleepy.
Dos and Don’ts - II • Avoid driving alone for long journeys. • On long drives, take regular breaks, snacks and drink water to keep yourself alert. • Plan your route in advance to avoid having to rush or get stressed because of traffic/lateness.
Dos and Don’ts - III • Keep your eyes on the road. If you want to change the CD, read/answer a text message, pull over first. • NEVER drive while talking on your mobile phone. Using a Bluetooth headset might keep your hands free, but your mind will still be distracted, slowing your reaction time.
Dos and Don’ts - IV • Maintain a safe distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you to avoid panic braking if the other car should stop suddenly. • Keeping some distance from the vehicle in front of you may also save your windshield from being hit by small pebbles caught in the other car’s tyres.
Driving Etiquette - I • Before taking a turn, put on your indicators well in advance to give approaching vehicles a chance to reduce their speed. • Do not weave in and out of traffic lanes. • When driving at night, keep your headlights low to avoid blinding oncoming traffic.
Driving Etiquette - II • Give right-of-way to emergency vehicles. • NEVER try to beat the yellow light. A yellow light means to “Slow Down.” • Yield right-of-way at intersections. • ALWAYS obey speed limits.
