Summary

Measures you can take to prevent accidents:

• Always drive defensively.
• Routinely inspect your vehicle for optimum performance.
• Ensure that you are in proper physical and mental condition for operating a motor vehicle.
• Always be aware of light conditions, weather conditions, road conditions and traffic conditions.
• Be sure you are competent to drive - avoid fatigue, do not drink before driving and maintain a safe driving attitude.
• Check and maintain your vehicle's occupant restraint system.
• Always be alert - stay ahead of any situation by maintaining a safe speed and distance from other vehicles.
• React quickly - begin to slow down at the first sign of a problem and move out of danger as quickly as is safe.
• Avoid tailgaters and other drivers exhibiting dangerous driving habits.
• Always pass with extreme caution and allow others to pass you easily and quickly.
• Be aware of motorcycles and provide them with as much room as any other vehicle on the road.
• Expressway driving requires focus, attention and common sense - the higher speed reduces response time and increases the force of impact in the event of an accident.
• At intersections be constantly aware of the environment and potential dangers.
• Most importantly - remember that safe driving is your responsibility - not the other driver's!
