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.

You're Vehicle

In the Gulf Region, the weather is generally fine and hot, but even this region has a range of weather conditions that will affect normal driving styles and techniques.

Different weather and road conditions can lead to a variety of different hazards, from season to season and from one region to another.

Problems vary widely, depending on the type of road and the amount of traffic passing through. This chapter deals with the main problems of driving under difficult conditions and the techniques of dealing with them safely.

Before you start your journey check the pressure in your tires. Do not check the pressure when you have been driving for a while, because tires will be warm and the reading will be inaccurate. Tires should be checked and adjusted before you start your journey, when they are 'cold'.

Keep the windscreen as clear as possible of water and grease marks. This helps to reduce glare. Check the level in the windscreen washer reservoir and top up if necessary. Using an additive may help to keep the windscreen clean.

Vision will be seriously impaired if your wipers are worn out or if your windscreen has collected a film of traffic dirt from the exhaust gases and other pollutants in and around the road.

Smoking deposits a thin film on the windows of the car, which reduces visibility and is often troublesome to the driver.
