Here are some ways of reducing the chances of
finding yourself in critical situation:
Always maintain good vision to the front and
all around your vehicle.
Be alert and ready to respond to the
unexpected.
Be secure in your mind by wearing your seat
belt.
Regularly check your rear view and wing
mirrors.
Look out for braking lights on vehicles
directly in front of you and on vehicles even further ahead.
Keep an eye out for people crossing the road
at official crossing places and when driving by school, shopping areas and
other public gathering areas.
Maintain the proper distance from the vehicle
in front of you.
Keep to your lane, except when overtaking,
and do not weave from lane to lane.
On long journeys, take a break every now and
then to get out and stretch your legs.
Do not look at maps or eat food while
driving. Stop at a lay by and continue later.
Many Drivers do not approach driving as a
serious exercise, as one that could result in someone getting gravely injured
or even killed due to a lapse of concentration or a failure of driving
technique.
