DRIVER SAFETY

Do’s ∗ Do pre ,on drive, post inspections of the vehicle. ∗ DO always wear your seat belt. ∗ DO keep children in tested and approved car seats ∗ DO review the official rules of the road for your

jurisdiction periodically, and follow them always. ∗ DO follow the speed limits. ∗ DO pay attention when you are driving, even if you

are familiar with the area. ∗ DO be courteous toward other drivers. ∗ DO give pedestrians the right-of-way in crosswalks. ∗ DO keep an emergency roadside kit in your car for

bad weather conditions and accidents. ∗ DO make sure that your spare tire is in your car and

that you have a working jack. ∗ DO make time for routine preventative maintenance

on your car. Breakdowns can be dangerous and costly.

∗ DO plan your route out in advance for long car trips. Keep a map or atlas in the car in case you get lost.

Don’ts

∗ DON'T drink and drive, and don't get in a car with a driver

who has been drinking or using drugs. ∗ DON'T make assumptions about what other drivers are

going to do. ∗ DON'T tailgate other cars, pass on shoulders, fail to yield,

run stoplights or stop signs (even if no one else seems to be around), or break any other rules of the road on purpose. If you act like you are above the law when you operate a car, you will sooner, rather than later, find out that you are not.

∗ DON'T play your car stereo so loudly that you are disruptive to others, or so loudly that you are unable to hear train signals or emergency vehicle sirens.

∗ DON'T talk on your cell phone and drive at the same time. ∗ DON'T engage in other activities, while driving, that distract

your attention or reduce your reaction time. Eating, changing clothes, or putting on makeup while driving is dangerous.

∗ DON'T treat a car like it is a toy. It is not. ∗ Don't use your car to play chicken, race, or give another car

a friendly "tap." ∗ DON'T let your emotions and frustrations get the best of

you. Don't engage in road rage, no matter how irritating another driver might be to you.

∗ DON'T leave valuables in your car, especially in places where they can be seen, no matter where you are parked.
