Dos and Don’ts - I

Dos and Don’ts - II

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.

• 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.
