Driving Techniques
Do Not Speed
Speeding is one of the main causes of
fatal vehicle collisions.The faster you drive, the
greater the risk. Never exceed the road's speed
limit and the safe driving speed for the current
road conditions.
Drive Carefully
● Drive Carefully
● Avoid sudden acceleration or braking.
● Avoid sharp turns or sudden lane changes.
● Avoid sudden turns.
● Keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front.
Adapting to specific road and weather
conditions (such as high winds, dust, heavy rain,
water crossing, mountainous areas, and heavy
snow) is necessary for safe and comfortable
driving. As a driver, you should be well aware of
how to drive the vehicle in specic environments.
Loading
CAUTION
The distribution of cargo on the vehicle can
significantly alter its driving characteristics.
Therefore, adjust your driving style
accordingly, especially when heavily loaded,
and reduce speed as necessary.
Driving on Wet Roads
● Avoid sudden acceleration or braking.
● Avoid sharp turns or sudden lane changes.
● Keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front.
When there are puddles, water
accumulation, or small streams on the road, slow
down to prevent skidding and loss of control.
Excessively worn tires increase this risk.
WARNING
!
● Do not get distracted while driving, for
example, by smoking, eating, talking to
passengers, or using the phone.
● Avoid driving when your reaction
capability is impaired, such as
after taking medication that causes
drowsiness, alcohol, or drugs, which
can weaken reaction times and lead to
serious accidents. The World Health
Organization has listed 7 categories of
medications that may impair safe driving
after consumption and recommends
prohibiting driving after taking these
medications. These 7 categories include:
hypnotics that affect the nervous system,
medications that cause nausea, vomiting,
or allergic reactions, analgesics,
stimulants, antiepileptic drugs, as well
as antihypertensive and antidiabetic
medications.
● Strictly adhere to traffic regulations and
speed limits.
● Always control your speed to suit the
current road conditions, traffic flow, and
weather conditions.
