Driving Information

Defensive Driving

Defensive driving means “always
expect the unexpected.” The
first step in driving defensively is
to wear your safety belt, see Safety
Belts on page 3‑10
.

{

WARNING

Assume that other road users
(pedestrians, bicyclists, and other
drivers) are going to be careless
and make mistakes. Anticipate
what they might do and be ready.
In addition:

.

Allow enough following
distance between you and
the driver in front of you.

.

Focus on the task of driving.

(Continued)

WARNING (Continued)

Driver distraction can cause
collisions resulting in injury or
possible death. These simple
defensive driving techniques
could save your life.

Drunk Driving

{

WARNING

Drinking and then driving is
very dangerous. Your reflexes,
perceptions, attentiveness, and
judgment can be affected by even
a small amount of alcohol. You
can have a serious — or even
fatal — collision if you drive after
drinking. Do not drink and drive or
ride with a driver who has been
drinking. Ride home in a cab; or if
you are with a group, designate a
driver who will not drink.
