Driver safety tips
Finally check this five tips to increase driver safety:
- Keep your distance – You can’t crash into space! The more space you keep around you, the less risk of a collision.
- More haste and less speed – In busy congested conditions or in built-up areas give yourself time. There’s no need to speed, and you won’t get there any quicker.
- More signs = more danger – By law, traffic routes must also be suitably indicated where necessary for reasons of health or safety. In particular, signs with a red triangular border are usually warning signs.
- Safe parking – Damage to vehicles often happens in car parks where it is least expected. Therefore prevention is the key! Use space – park away from other vehicles and activity areas, where possible. Many of all company traffic accidents involve parking, maneuvering or reversing.
- Don’t drink and drive – Alcohol impairs your driving, even a small amount. Also think carefully if you’re safe to drive even the morning after.
