• 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.

Fasten the Seat Belt

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.
