Use of Safety Lights and Safety Devices
Slow moving vehicles can create a hazard when
travelling on public roads. Slow moving vehicles and
vehicles without lights are difficult to see, especially at
night. Avoid possible personal injury or death from a
collision with another vehicle.
To increase visibility, use the safety lights and devices
provided with the vehicle. Amber rotating beacon are
recommended whenever driving on public roads. Keep
safety items and features in the proper working order.
Replace any missing or damaged components
immediately.
Operation on Slopes
Keep the vehicle in a safe speed when going down
slopes. Avoid holes, ditches and obstructions that may
cause vehicle roll-over, especially on hillsides. Avoid
sharp turns on hills.
When driving parallel on steep slopes beware that the
vehicle doesn’t roll-over.
Never drive near the edge of a gully or steep
embankment.
Travelling on Public Roads
ALWAYS walk around and visually inspect the vehicle
before travelling on public roads. Check for damage
and/or faulty components that can fail and create a
hazard or unsafe condition. Make sure ALL vehicle
systems operate properly including, but not limited to:
front road lights, tail and brake lights, hazard warning
lights, safety lights, parking brake, horn, windshield wiper
and washer, and rear-view mirrors. Repair or replace any
component that is not in proper working order.
Never drive at a speed that causes the vehicle to bounce
or cause the loss of control.
Obey all traffic law. Operate the vehicle with the rotating
beacon lights ON, unless prohibited by law. It is the
operator’s responsibility to activate and use the road
lights when travelling on public roads.
