Starting
1) Adjust the driver’s seat for the proper
driving posture.
2) Adjust the rear view mirror so as to
obtain the best possible rear view.
3) Before moving off, look forward and
back to confirm safety.
4) Don’t start quickly, since it is dangerous
and wastes fuel.
General driving
1) Be sure to stop before the stop light and
stop sign. When moving into the
inter-section without any traffic lights or
signs, drive slowly to confirm safety.

2) Always follow other vehicles at a safe
distance in order to prevent a rear-end
collision, in case the vehicle ahead
make a sudden stop.
3) Turn ON the turn signal at least 30
meters before making a turn or
chang-ing the lane so as not to be hit
from behind.
4) Before entering a corner, decelerate to
a safe speed. Don’t apply brakes during
cornering, or a cornering skid may
occur.
5) When overtaking other vehicles, watch
out for the oncoming vehicle and
care-fully confirm the safety.
6) Don’t attempt zigzag driving which will
hinder your control over the vehicle and
cause an accident.

Braking
1) Use the parking brake when parking
your vehicle and shift the gear shift
lever into the first gear or reverse gear
position for the sake of safety.
2) Don’t use handbraking unless una-
voidable. It causes the vehicle to skid
and a rearend collision occur. It is espe-
cially dangerous when the tyres are
worn, for they allow a larger skid.
