Vehicle Safety

Tips

Before you get behind the wheel it is important to make sure that your vehicle is safe and prepared for any trip This means checking the safety features and making any needed changes to your vehicle to guarantee a safe drive Be sure to regularly check that your brakes are functioning properly and your tires are inflated and not worn out Have the steering and suspensions checked by a mechanic

Emergency Kit One of the essentials to safe driving is having a basic emergency kit available in your vehicle at all times This kit should include items such as water extra batteries rope First Aid items matches and a whistle During the winter months it is also important to carry items such as blankets non-perishable foods a shovel and extra gloves and socks

Winter Driving One of the most dangerous times to drive is during the winter especially if you live in an area that is prone to ice and snowfall Consider the tips below to drive safely during the winter

Page 23 |

Copyright Of OnPoint Guides LLC That Owns The Copyright 2018 Copyright Of OnPoint Guides LLC That Owns The Copyright 2018

Donrsquot Rush

Roads are often covered in snow and ice after snowfall Instead of driving fast and risking an accident as you hurry to get to your destination try leaving a few minutes earlier than usual This will allow you to drive slower and avoid other dangerous drivers without being late for your appointment

Donrsquot Panic if You Skid or Slip

In the event that your vehicle does skid or slip while you are driving make sure you do not panic and slam down on your brakes Instead apply slow and even pressure on your brakes until you stop This will prevent you from spinning further out of control

Check Your Vehicle

Before you leave your house make sure your vehiclersquos controls brakes tank tires antifreeze and exhaust are all in working order It is also important that you remove any ice and snow from your car before you begin driving This prevents the snow from blocking your view while you drive or flying off and hitting someone while the vehicle is in motion

Things to Avoid

Drinking and Driving

Every year thousands are killed as a result of drinking and driving These unfortunate events can be prevented if drivers plan ahead of time and take certain steps

Before you begin drinking arrange for someone else to be the designated driver If they also become intoxicated it is important that you take a taxi Never allow someone drunk to drive Instead take away their keys and call for alternative transportation

If you see someone who you suspect is drunk and showing signs of intoxication while driving ndash such as making wide turns weaving swerving breaking erratically or turning abruptly ndash call 9-1-1 and contact authorities immediately Make sure to avoid them on the road to ensure your own safety This could mean you pulling over until they are at a safe distance from your car

Using Your Phone

Driving while using your cell phone is one of the most dangerous actions you can perform During those few seconds that your attention is diverted to your phone a major accident could occur Make sure to avoid texting using the internet on your phone or receiving calls while you drive

Aggressive Driving

Aggressive driving and drivers should both be avoided to prevent on-road aggression or accidents Aggressive driving is categorized as exhibiting behaviors such as tailgating verbally or physically harassing another driver or preventing another driver from merging or passing

If you are an aggressive driver you are putting others at risk every time you engage in any of the above behaviors When you encounter a frustrating situation on the road instead of becoming aggressive take a moment breathe and continue moving

Wasting Gas

If you drive often you can start looking for ways to save on those expensive trips to the pump Some of the ways that you can start saving gas are by turning off the air conditioning not leaving your engine running and avoiding speeding These things are preventable and not necessary for you to drive Therefore you can quickly reduce the amount of gas you waste

Another way to save on gas is to make sure that your vehicle is functioning properly You can do this by checking that your tires are properly inflated and your engine is properly tuned

Page 23 |

Copyright Of OnPoint Guides LLC That Owns The Copyright 2018 Copyright Of OnPoint Guides LLC That Owns The Copyright 2018

Donrsquot Rush

Roads are often covered in snow and ice after snowfall Instead of driving fast and risking an accident as you hurry to get to your destination try leaving a few minutes earlier than usual This will allow you to drive slower and avoid other dangerous drivers without being late for your appointment

Donrsquot Panic if You Skid or Slip

Things to Avoid

Drinking and Driving

Every year thousands are killed as a result of drinking and driving These unfortunate events can be prevented if drivers plan ahead of time and take certain steps

Before you begin drinking arrange for someone else to be the designated driver If they also become intoxicated it is important that you take a taxi Never allow someone drunk to drive Instead take away their keys and call for alternative transportation

If you see someone who you suspect is drunk and showing signs of intoxication while driving ndash such as making wide turns weaving swerving breaking erratically or turning abruptly ndash call 9-1-1 and contact authorities immediately Make sure to avoid them on the road to ensure your own safety This could mean you pulling over until they are at a safe distance from your car

Using Your Phone

Driving while using your cell phone is one of the most dangerous actions you can perform During those few seconds that your attention is diverted to your phone a major accident could occur Make sure to avoid texting using the internet on your phone or receiving calls while you drive

Aggressive Driving

Aggressive driving and drivers should both be avoided to prevent on-road aggression or accidents Aggressive driving is categorized as exhibiting behaviors such as tailgating verbally or physically harassing another driver or preventing another driver from merging or passing

If you are an aggressive driver you are putting others at risk every time you engage in any of the above behaviors When you encounter a frustrating situation on the road instead of becoming aggressive take a moment breathe and continue moving

Wasting Gas

If you drive often you can start looking for ways to save on those expensive trips to the pump Some of the ways that you can start saving gas are by turning off the air conditioning not leaving your engine running and avoiding speeding These things are preventable and not necessary for you to drive Therefore you can quickly reduce the amount of gas you waste

Another way to save on gas is to make sure that your vehicle is functioning properly You can do this by checking that your tires are properly inflated and your engine is properly tuned

Page 23 |

Copyright Of OnPoint Guides LLC That Owns The Copyright 2018 Copyright Of OnPoint Guides LLC That Owns The Copyright 2018

Donrsquot Rush

Roads are often covered in snow and ice after snowfall Instead of driving fast and risking an accident as you hurry to get to your destination try leaving a few minutes earlier than usual This will allow you to drive slower and avoid other dangerous drivers without being late for your appointment

Donrsquot Panic if You Skid or Slip

In the event that your vehicle does skid or slip while you are driving make sure you do not panic and slam down on your brakes Instead apply slow and even pressure on your brakes until you stop This will prevent you from spinning further out of control

Check Your Vehicle

Before you leave your house make sure your vehiclersquos controls brakes tank tires antifreeze and exhaust are all in working order It is also important that you remove any ice and snow from your car before you begin driving This prevents the snow from blocking your view while you drive or flying off and hitting someone while the vehicle is in motion

Things to Avoid

Drinking and Driving

Every year thousands are killed as a result of drinking and driving These unfortunate events can be prevented if drivers plan ahead of time and take certain steps

Before you begin drinking arrange for someone else to be the designated driver If they also become intoxicated it is important that you take a taxi Never allow someone drunk to drive Instead take away their keys and call for alternative transportation

If you see someone who you suspect is drunk and showing signs of intoxication while driving ndash such as making wide turns weaving swerving breaking erratically or turning abruptly ndash call 9-1-1 and contact authorities immediately Make sure to avoid them on the road to ensure your own safety This could mean you pulling over until they are at a safe distance from your car

Using Your Phone

Driving while using your cell phone is one of the most dangerous actions you can perform During those few seconds that your attention is diverted to your phone a major accident could occur Make sure to avoid texting using the internet on your phone or receiving calls while you drive

Aggressive Driving

Aggressive driving and drivers should both be avoided to prevent on-road aggression or accidents Aggressive driving is categorized as exhibiting behaviors such as tailgating verbally or physically harassing another driver or preventing another driver from merging or passing

If you are an aggressive driver you are putting others at risk every time you engage in any of the above behaviors When you encounter a frustrating situation on the road instead of becoming aggressive take a moment breathe and continue moving

Wasting Gas

If you drive often you can start looking for ways to save on those expensive trips to the pump Some of the ways that you can start saving gas are by turning off the air conditioning not leaving your engine running and avoiding speeding These things are preventable and not necessary for you to drive Therefore you can quickly reduce the amount of gas you waste

Another way to save on gas is to make sure that your vehicle is functioning properly You can do this by checking that your tires are properly inflated and your engine is properly tuned

Things to Avoid

Drinking and Driving

Every year thousands are killed as a result of drinking and driving These unfortunate events can be prevented if drivers plan ahead of time and take certain steps

Before you begin drinking arrange for someone else to be the designated driver If they also become intoxicated it is important that you take a taxi Never allow someone drunk to drive Instead take away their keys and call for alternative transportation

If you see someone who you suspect is drunk and showing signs of intoxication while driving ndash such as making wide turns weaving swerving breaking erratically or turning abruptly ndash call 9-1-1 and contact authorities immediately Make sure to avoid them on the road to ensure your own safety This could mean you pulling over until they are at a safe distance from your car

Using Your Phone

Driving while using your cell phone is one of the most dangerous actions you can perform During those few seconds that your attention is diverted to your phone a major accident could occur Make sure to avoid texting using the internet on your phone or receiving calls while you drive

Aggressive Driving

Aggressive driving and drivers should both be avoided to prevent on-road aggression or accidents Aggressive driving is categorized as exhibiting behaviors such as tailgating verbally or physically harassing another driver or preventing another driver from merging or passing

If you are an aggressive driver you are putting others at risk every time you engage in any of the above behaviors When you encounter a frustrating situation on the road instead of becoming aggressive take a moment breathe and continue moving

Wasting Gas

If you drive often you can start looking for ways to save on those expensive trips to the pump Some of the ways that you can start saving gas are by turning off the air conditioning not leaving your engine running and avoiding speeding These things are preventable and not necessary for you to drive Therefore you can quickly reduce the amount of gas you waste

Another way to save on gas is to make sure that your vehicle is functioning properly You can do this by checking that your tires are properly inflated and your engine is properly tuned

Things to Avoid

Drinking and Driving

Every year thousands are killed as a result of drinking and driving These unfortunate events can be prevented if drivers plan ahead of time and take certain steps

Before you begin drinking arrange for someone else to be the designated driver If they also become intoxicated it is important that you take a taxi Never allow someone drunk to drive Instead take away their keys and call for alternative transportation

If you see someone who you suspect is drunk and showing signs of intoxication while driving ndash such as making wide turns weaving swerving breaking erratically or turning abruptly ndash call 9-1-1 and contact authorities immediately Make sure to avoid them on the road to ensure your own safety This could mean you pulling over until they are at a safe distance from your car

Using Your Phone

Driving while using your cell phone is one of the most dangerous actions you can perform During those few seconds that your attention is diverted to your phone a major accident could occur Make sure to avoid texting using the internet on your phone or receiving calls while you drive

Aggressive Driving

Aggressive driving and drivers should both be avoided to prevent on-road aggression or accidents Aggressive driving is categorized as exhibiting behaviors such as tailgating verbally or physically harassing another driver or preventing another driver from merging or passing

If you are an aggressive driver you are putting others at risk every time you engage in any of the above behaviors When you encounter a frustrating situation on the road instead of becoming aggressive take a moment breathe and continue moving

Wasting Gas

If you drive often you can start looking for ways to save on those expensive trips to the pump Some of the ways that you can start saving gas are by turning off the air conditioning not leaving your engine running and avoiding speeding These things are preventable and not necessary for you to drive Therefore you can quickly reduce the amount of gas you waste

Another way to save on gas is to make sure that your vehicle is functioning properly You can do this by checking that your tires are properly inflated and your engine is properly tuned

Things to Avoid

Drinking and Driving

Every year thousands are killed as a result of drinking and driving These unfortunate events can be prevented if drivers plan ahead of time and take certain steps

Before you begin drinking arrange for someone else to be the designated driver If they also become intoxicated it is important that you take a taxi Never allow someone drunk to drive Instead take away their keys and call for alternative transportation

If you see someone who you suspect is drunk and showing signs of intoxication while driving ndash such as making wide turns weaving swerving breaking erratically or turning abruptly ndash call 9-1-1 and contact authorities immediately Make sure to avoid them on the road to ensure your own safety This could mean you pulling over until they are at a safe distance from your car

Using Your Phone

Driving while using your cell phone is one of the most dangerous actions you can perform During those few seconds that your attention is diverted to your phone a major accident could occur Make sure to avoid texting using the internet on your phone or receiving calls while you drive

Things to Avoid

Drinking and Driving

Every year thousands are killed as a result of drinking and driving These unfortunate events can be prevented if drivers plan ahead of time and take certain steps

Before you begin drinking arrange for someone else to be the designated driver If they also become intoxicated it is important that you take a taxi Never allow someone drunk to drive Instead take away their keys and call for alternative transportation

If you see someone who you suspect is drunk and showing signs of intoxication while driving ndash such as making wide turns weaving swerving breaking erratically or turning abruptly ndash call 9-1-1 and contact authorities immediately Make sure to avoid them on the road to ensure your own safety This could mean you pulling over until they are at a safe distance from your car

Using Your Phone

Driving while using your cell phone is one of the most dangerous actions you can perform During those few seconds that your attention is diverted to your phone a major accident could occur Make sure to avoid texting using the internet on your phone or receiving calls while you drive

Aggressive Driving

Aggressive driving and drivers should both be avoided to prevent on-road aggression or accidents Aggressive driving is categorized as exhibiting behaviors such as tailgating verbally or physically harassing another driver or preventing another driver from merging or passing

If you are an aggressive driver you are putting others at risk every time you engage in any of the above behaviors When you encounter a frustrating situation on the road instead of becoming aggressive take a moment breathe and continue moving

Wasting Gas

If you drive often you can start looking for ways to save on those expensive trips to the pump Some of the ways that you can start saving gas are by turning off the air conditioning not leaving your engine running and avoiding speeding These things are preventable and not necessary for you to drive Therefore you can quickly reduce the amount of gas you waste

Donrsquot Rush

Roads are often covered in snow and ice after snowfall Instead of driving fast and risking an accident as you hurry to get to your destination try leaving a few minutes earlier than usual This will allow you to drive slower and avoid other dangerous drivers without being late for your appointment

Donrsquot Panic if You Skid or Slip

In the event that your vehicle does skid or slip while you are driving make sure you do not panic and slam down on your brakes Instead apply slow and even pressure on your brakes until you stop This will prevent you from spinning further out of control

Check Your Vehicle

Before you leave your house make sure your vehiclersquos controls brakes tank tires antifreeze and exhaust are all in working order It is also important that you remove any ice and snow from your car before you begin driving This prevents the snow from blocking your view while you drive or flying off and hitting someone while the vehicle is in motion

Things to Avoid

Drinking and Driving

Every year thousands are killed as a result of drinking and driving These unfortunate events can be prevented if drivers plan ahead of time and take certain steps

Before you begin drinking arrange for someone else to be the designated driver If they also become intoxicated it is important that you take a taxi Never allow someone drunk to drive Instead take away their keys and call for alternative transportation

If you see someone who you suspect is drunk and showing signs of intoxication while driving ndash such as making wide turns weaving swerving breaking erratically or turning abruptly ndash call 9-1-1 and contact authorities immediately Make sure to avoid them on the road to ensure your own safety This could mean you pulling over until they are at a safe distance from your car

Using Your Phone

Driving while using your cell phone is one of the most dangerous actions you can perform During those few seconds that your attention is diverted to your phone a major accident could occur Make sure to avoid texting using the internet on your phone or receiving calls while you drive

Aggressive Driving

Aggressive driving and drivers should both be avoided to prevent on-road aggression or accidents Aggressive driving is categorized as exhibiting behaviors such as tailgating verbally or physically harassing another driver or preventing another driver from merging or passing

If you are an aggressive driver you are putting others at risk every time you engage in any of the above behaviors When you encounter a frustrating situation on the road instead of becoming aggressive take a moment breathe and continue moving

Wasting Gas

If you drive often you can start looking for ways to save on those expensive trips to the pump Some of the ways that you can start saving gas are by turning off the air conditioning not leaving your engine running and avoiding speeding These things are preventable and not necessary for you to drive Therefore you can quickly reduce the amount of gas you waste

Another way to save on gas is to make sure that your vehicle is functioning properly You can do this by checking that your tires are properly inflated and your engine is properly tuned
