DRIVING TIPS AND SAFE DRIVING

2. Don’t use handbraking unless

unavoidable. It causes the vehicle to skid
and a rearend collision occur. It is
especially dangerous when the tyres are
worn, for they allow a larger skid.

Use foot brake in three stages

(1) Warn the vehicle behind you
(2) Gradually apply the brake.
(3) Bring the vehicle to a halt.

3. When driving on a downhill, try not to

apply the brake but use the engine
brake effectively. Overuse of the
footbrake may result in total brake
failure.

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.
