As a driver, you have to co-operate to keep traffic moving safely. You must be predictable - doing what other road users expect you to do. You must be courteous, and you must be able to see dangerous situations before they happen and to respond quickly and effectively to prevent them.
Here's how to reduce your risks:
* Always wear your seat belt
* be aware of traffic around you by looking ahead, behind, and from side to side and make sure other road users see you and they know what you are doing
* keep a safe distance from other vehicles
* check your mirrors and find your blind spots - and don't drive in other driver's blind spots
* don't make sudden lane changes, use your signals
* When stopping, check mirrors and begin braking early and stop smoothly
* don't crowd your driving space with passengers or belongings
* keep to the right of the road or in the right-hand lane on multi-lane roads unless you want to turn left or pass another vehicle
* slow down as you come to intersections and look carefully for traffic lights, pedestrians and cyclists
* obey the speed limit and all signs and signals.
