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 unavoid-
able. 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 foot-
brake may result in total brake failure.
4) Avoid reckless high speed driving and
try to drive at a safe speed suitable for
the road conditions while maintaining a
constant speed.

5) The higher the speed, the narrower the
driver’s visual range becomes. In such
a state, it is difficult to anticipate any
hazard and the driver feels much
fatigued.
6) Never do sharp handling during high
speed driving. You will lose your control
over your vehicle.
7) When overtaking or changing the lane
while driving at a high speed, keep an
ample vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
Long distance driving
1) Be sure to perform safety checks before
starting a trip.
2) Take rest at certain intervals to prevent
an accident which may occur when you
are sleepy or tired.
