What
impairs driving safety?
Safe driving is directly related to the condition
of
the vehicle,
the
driver as well as the driver's abili-
ty
to concentrate on
the
road without being dis-
tracted.
The driver is responsible
for
the
safety
of
the
ve-
hicle
and
all
of
its
occupants.
If
your
ability
to
drive is impaired,
safety
risks
for
everybody
in
the
vehicle increase
and
you also
become
a
hazard
to
everyone
else
on
the
road ¢
.&,
. Therefore:
...
Do
not
let
yourself
be
distracted
by
passengers
or
by using a cellular
telephone
.
...
NEVER
drive
when
your driving ability is im-
paired (by medications, alcohol,
drugs,
etc.)
.
...
Observe all
traff
ic laws,
rules
of
the
road
and
speed
limits
and
plain
common
sense
.
...
ALWAYS
adj
ust
your
speed
to
road, traffic
and
weathe
r condi
tions.
...
T
ake
frequent
breaks
on long
trips.
Do
not
drive
for
more
than
two
hours
at
a
stretch
.
...
Do
NOT
drive
when
you
are
tired,
under
pres-
sure
or
when
you
are
stressed
.
