BASIC DRIVING SAFETY TIPS
BASIC DRIVING SAFETY TIPS
Preparation for the Drive:
Get a tire pressure gauge and know
the correct tire pressures for each type of vehicle.
1. Inspect your vehicle every day
before each driving. Check for lubrication oil, tire pressure, engine oil, and
radiant water.
Clean windows, headlights, tail
lights and windscreen etc for the better vision and clear indication.
2. Tire pressures must be set to
the manufacturers recommended pressures. Do not reduce tire pressure to
compensate for ambient temperature. If you have to reduce tire pressure to
travel through soft sand area, re-inflate when you get back on the graveled or
asphalted road. Soft tire flexes more than correctly inflated tires and generates
higher tire wall temperature, which can lead to puncture or tire burst.
3. Obey the speed limits on streets
as well as on the highways and inside the plant or site premises.
4. Do not violate signal lights. It
is against traffic regulations.
5. Do not exceed the speed limit. Remember
it takes longer to stop on sandy road or on graveled road than that on dry pavement.
6. Always wear your seat belt. A
seat belt can save your life and prevent serious injuries. Ensure all the other
passengers also worn the seat belt.
7. Do not attempt to overtake on a
single-track road where you cannot see enough clearance ahead to allow safe
passage.
8. Do not cause other vehicle to
alter the course or speed.
9. Do not make third lane on double
track road.
10. Check side view mirrors and
shoulder before attempting to change the lane.
Give signals whenever intend to
change the lane or where it can help the other road users. Signaling do not
give you privilege to change the lane without ensuring the safety of fellow
Road users.
11. Do not use cell phone while
driving. Do not engage yourself in other activities like eating food, adjusting
the music systems etc while driving.
12. Respect other vehicles and pedestrian
on the road.
