Safe Driving Tips to Keep in Mind

1.  Inspection the exterior of the vehicle, the bumper, rearview mirror, doors, windows, and other components should be intact. Check if the external lights and signal settings function properly, and if the high and low beams are normal. Check if the tire pressure is appropriate, and if the tire surface has any defects, abnormal wear, or deformation that would affect its use. Also, check if the brake system is sensitive, and if essential items such as engine oil meet the vehicle's requirements.

2. During driving, you must observe the correct road traffic norms, comply with traffic rules, drive on the prescribed roads and control the distance between vehicles. When changing lanes, turn on the turn signal in advance and reduce the speed. Pedestrians as well as non-motorized vehicles should be avoided in time to avoid accidents.

3. In the event of danger, if it is possible to avoid it, the first thing to do is to be calm, hold the steering wheel firmly with both hands, press the back against the seat, slow down, turn on the hazard warning lights, and pull over to the side of the road or the emergency parking area without interfering with the movement of other vehicles.

4. If you are in danger and the situation is unavoidable, the first thing to do is to make sure that casualties are minimized, do not steer at will, and turn the steering wheel to the side where there are no personnel or where the damage is small under controlled circumstances.

5. Remember not to skid in neutral on the way, if you encounter brake failure, do not use the handbrake in an emergency, to use the gear for braking deceleration, in turn, from high gear to low gear.

Never shift directly from a higher gear to a lower gear. Shifting down at a high speed can cause the vehicle to overturn or flip, resulting in more serious casualties and causing more serious damage to the engine, transmission, and other parts of the vehicle, leading to unnecessary losses for the driver.

6. Pay attention to coordinating rest time, and remember not to drive when fatigued.
