Observe Traffic Rules
Communicating your intentions with other drivers can prevent confusion and collisions. Always signal before changing lanes, turning, or merging, even if the road seems empty. A simple turn signal can make a life-saving difference.
Fatigue impairs your ability to drive safely. If you feel tired while driving, pull over to rest or switch drivers. Avoid the risks of drowsy driving and ensure a safer journey for everyone on the road.
