THINK OVER THESE BEFORE DRIVING

• Drinking and driving is an offence
• Do not overtake at junctions
• Pedestrians have the right to cross the road at the zebra crossing
• Being impatient on the road makes you a patient at home.
• Speed thrills but kills

ASK YOURSELF

• 1. When approaching uncontrolled junctions
• Can other drivers see me?
•  Am I approaching from a minor road to a major road?
• Do I have an escape route?
• 2. When approaching controlled/signalised junctions
• Is green light about to change?
• Do I have time to stop?
• Can the vehicle behind me stop?
• 3. When approaching a bend/turning
• How sharp it?
• Is sight distance enough?
• Is my speed right?
• When trying to overtake
• Is the vehicle in front of you about to turn right?
• Is there enough sight distance?
• Is there any vehicle on right approaching quite fast?
• 4. When being overtaken
• Am I unhappy being overtaken?
• Am I giving signal for overtaking or not overtaking?
• Are there more vehicles than one about to overtake?
• 5. When passing parked vehicles
• Will the door of the parked vehicle suddenly open?
• Will some pedestrian rush out from behind the vehicle?
• Will a parked vehicle suddenly pull out?
• 6. About your positioning
• Can I see and be seen?
• Is traffic restricting my course of action?
• Is there enough space to stop?

THE FASTER YOU GO, THE LESS TIME YOU HAVE TO REACT TO SITUATIONS

At higher speed, a driver has less time to react to potentially hazardous situations. The stopping distance for a vehicle travelling at 80 km per hour is 76 meters. At 100 km per hour it is 112 meters. It takes a longer distance to stop a fast moving vehicle than most people think. So please take note of the information given in the chart below.

• About your speed
• Can I stop in time if the vehicle in front brakes suddenly?
• Is my speed correct for the road and type of traffic?
•  Am I in right gear?
• About the road and environment
•  Is the road wet, greasy or uneven?
• Are there roadside encroachments and parking?
• Is it going to rain?
