RESPECT OTHER DRIVERS
Courteous driving is a key to reducing traffic crashes.
Yield the right-of-way at intersections.
Give proper signals well ahead of time to let others know what you are going to do.
Keep a safe distance from the car ahead of you.
Do not weave in and out of traffic.
A yellow light means to SLOW DOWN and be prepared to STOP.
Many crashes occur due to people rushing to �beat� the yellow light.
ALWAYS obey school zone speed limits and stop for school buses with flashing lights.
Give the right of way to emergency vehicles.
KNOW AND OBEY THE LAW
Be aware of and obey posted speed limits. Observe warning signs. Adapt your driving habits to changing weather and road conditions. Avoid using cell phone and other distractions while driving. Wear seat belts. Insist that others in your vehicle wear belts, too. Be sure all children in the vehicle are properly restrained. Always use turn signals. Don�t tailgate. At accident or construction sites, obey directions. Don�t drink and drive. Don�t pick up hitchhikers.
USE COMMON SENSE
Tell family or friends the route you are traveling and your expected arrival time. Call them if your route or arrival time changes.
If you�re going to be later than you had hoped, take a deep breath and accept the delay.
Don�t drive in unfamiliar areas after dark.
Avoid taking your eyes off the road by eliminating any possible distractions ahead of time.
Before setting out on a drive, be sure that important items are within easy reach i.e., directions, tool kit, etc.
Always pull over to a safe place to use your cellular telephone.
