GENERAL SAFETY

SAFE DRIVING
Safety consciousness not only ensures
your safety and the safety of other road
users, but also helps to reduce the wear
and tear on your vehicle.
Safe driving depends on:

How quickly you make decisions to
avoid an accident.

Your ability to concentrate.

How well you can see and judge ob-
jects.

How well familiar you are with your
vehicle controls and its capabilities.
NOTE
Fatigue is a result of physical or men-
tal exertion that impairs judgment.
Driver fatigue may be due to inade-
quate sleep, extended work hours,
strenuous work or non-work activities
or combination of other factors. Take
rest at regular intervals.

conditions, weather conditions, vehi-
cle speed in order to prevent acci-
