- be sure to fasten your seat belt, even if you drive a car in the city;
- make sure all passengers are wearing their seat belts, even in the rear seats. Passengers not wearing seat belts endanger themselves, the driver and other passengers in the event of an accident;
- adjust the driver's seat so that you can reach any control;
- make sure that all pedals move freely;
- do not drive while intoxicated. The use of alcohol, drugs and certain medications adversely affects the senses, the speed of a person's reaction, his driving ability and increases the risk of creating an emergency and injury;
- do not drive if you feel tired. Stop often to rest (at least every 2 hours);
- drive at a speed appropriate to traffic, weather and road conditions. Remember: the handling of the car, its braking qualities are largely dependent on the grip of the tires with the road surface. Road sections with freshly laid asphalt are very dangerous. On a wet road, a hydroplaning effect may occur, in which case a complete loss of controllability is possible;
- obey the speed limit signs.
