20. Never Overtake Other Vehicles
Never pass other vehicles moving in the same direction at intersection blind spots and other dangerous places. Always expect the unexpected!
21. Avoid Stunt Driving and Horseplay
Safety is the matter of your own attitude. This is difficult to measure but quickly becomes evident once you are behind the wheel. It's not your forklift truck.
It's you who invites trouble!
22. Don't Daydream! Stay Alert!
Keep your eyes open while driving. Always watch where you are going.
23. Slow Down For Wet, Slippery Areas
You know how easy it is to lose control of your forklift truck on wet, slippery places. A forklift truck is not built for winning a Safari Rally in spite of similar
road conditions.
24. Go Slow and Sound the Horn at Corners
Go slow wherever vision is limited or obstructed. If your plant has traffic mirrors, use them. Observe stop signs, stop your forklift truck completely, sound
the horn if necessary, and then proceed with extreme caution.
25. Cross Railroad Tracks Slowly and Diagonally Whenever Possible
A railroad crossing can give a loaded forklift truck a real jolt. For a smoother railroad crossing, approach the tracks at an angle.
