Drive Safely
Keep in your minds that

Speed Thrills, but Kills

Its better to reach your home /
destination safely rather than not
reaching it at all.

Precautionary Measures to Avoid Accident:

Check, and clean if necessary, all windows,
mirrors, and lenses.
Check and replace, as necessary, all lights
(headlights, tail lights, turn signal lights, and
brake lights - this will require either a reflective
surface or a second person who watches at the
light).
Check tire pressure, tread, and condition. Low tire
pressure can cause tires to fail at high speeds.
Check oil, fuel, and water levels before taking
long trips.

 Scan the road well ahead and anticipate

upcoming events. Look for tell-tale vehicle
signals; brake-lights, indicators and be prepared
to react, but don't always expect them to be
used. Watch for 'urgent' vehicle movement up
ahead that can signal trouble.
Keep an eye on faster rear-closing traffic, and
don't pull out in front of it.
Never trust an indicator; expect that a vehicle
indicating that it is about to turn, may not do so.

 Keep the space on either side of your car free. Leave

yourself an out.
Approach a broken-down vehicle or crash scene with
caution, but do not be distracted by it. Watch for
pedestrians and wandering animals at the scene.
If your vehicle develops mechanical or tire trouble and
begins to slow, drive it to the side of the road as far as
possible from traffic.
If your vehicle breaks-down on the road in an exposed
position, or for crashed vehicles blocking the road.
