Always check the car. Before taking the car into a drive, you should make sure that it is in the right condition. You should always check the lights, tire, fuel, brake and many more. You can ask expert mechanics to check your car or you can do simple checking. When you feel something is wrong, it is imperative that you call for help.

Be on the lookout. You should be vigilant all the time. Sleep can deter your senses. If you are sleepy, do not drive or pull over. By being vigilant, you also need to read road signs and more importantly, the traffic lights. You should also take note of your mirrors.

Do not text and drink while driving. Avoid texting while driving. If you need to make a quick call, make sure that you put it in loudspeaker so you don’t need to hold it. If you are drinking, look for a replacement driver or not drive at all.

Please be careful on the road.
