Self-help prevention for various conditions: driving safety SELF-HELP PREVENTION FOR VARIOUS CONDITIONS: DRIVING SAFETY
Most families now have a car and many have two. Of all our everyday activities, driving is one of the most dangerous, killing 5,599 people in 1984 in Great Britain and injuring a further 319,000. The cost to the nation of all these accidents is 2,650 million pounds. The fact is that by adopting some fairly commonsense preventive measures much of this illness, suffering and financial cost could be avoided. Here are the top twenty guidelines for safe driving drawn up in the UK by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents.
• Keep your vehicle in good condition with frequent inspection and regular servicing.
• Ensure that you are fit and alert before driving. Do not drive after drinking and be sure that medicines will not affect your ability to drive.
• Maintain your observation well ahead and plan your approach to hazards. Use mirrors frequently.
• Handle your vehicle with positive precision and aim for the smoothest possible drive.
• Give clear and early signals for all manoeuvres. Help other road users to understand your intentions.
• Always think ahead and exercise caution. If in doubt-don't.
• Assess speed carefully to take account of all conditions. Avoid sudden changes of speed or direction on slippery surfaces.
• Never drive so fast that you cannot stop safely in the distance you can see to be clear.
• Remember the additional hazards of driving at night. Adjust your speed accordingly.
• Know the problems which a truck driver faces and make due allowance when such vehicles are manoeuvring.
• Traffic legislation has been developed to improve safety for all. Do not break the law.
• Be considerate of the comfort and safety of your passengers. Ensure that children are properly restrained and drive as you would wish to be driven. Remember that the law says you as the driver, and your front-seat passengers, must wear seat-belts at all times.
• Know and understand signs, signals and road markings all have valuable information for the driver.
• Remember that 95 per cent of the accidents are caused by human error. Always maintain maxi concentration on the task in hand.
• Always drive within the limits of your capability and within the limits of your vehicle.
• Park in such a way as to cause minimum inconvenience and danger to other road users.
• Learn some basic first aid so that you know what to do if you an accident.
• Maintain courtesy on the road. Be considerate towards the needs and problems of other road users.
• Take a pride in your driving, but remember that all drivers have room for improvement.
