Driving Safety

PREPARATION:

Get a tire pressure gauge and know the correct tire pressures for each type of vehicle.

1. Inspect your vehicle every day before driving. Check for lube oil, tire pressure, engine
oil, and radiant water. Clean windows, headlights, taillights, and windscreen, etc.

2. Tire pressures must be set to the manufacturers recommended pressures. Do not
reduce tire pressure to compensate for ambient temperature. If you have to reduce tire
pressure to travel through the soft sand area, re-inflate when you get back on the graveled
or asphalted road. Soft tire flexes more than correctly inflated tires and generates
higher tire wall temperature, which can lead to puncture or tire burst.

3. Obey the speed limits on streets as well as on highways.

4. Do not violate signal lights. It is against traffic regulations.

5. Do not exceed the speed limit of 45 KM/hr /as posted on sandy roads or diversions roads.
Remember it takes longer to stop on sandy
road or on the graveled road than that on dry
pavement.

6. Always wear your seat belt. A seat belt can
save your life and prevent serious injuries.

7. Do not attempt to overtake on a single-track
a road where you cannot see enough clearance ahead to allow safe passage.

8. Do not cause other vehicles to alter the course or speed.

9. Do not make the third lane on double track road.

10. Check side view mirrors and shoulder before attempting to change the lane. Give signals whenever intend to change the lane or where it can help the other road users. Signaling do not give you privilege to change the lane without ensuring the safety of fellow Road users.
