Driving for a living can be a dangerous business. It's important to drive safely not just to protect other drivers around you — but also to protect your own neck. See what other users have to say about safety.
Seatbelts can and do save lives.
When merging on to a freeway when on a curve do not drive over the white lines on the sides. That's where all the nails and chunks of debris are. You could save yourself a flat tire and of course a ticket, too.
When passing on ramps and exit ramps, always be courteous to other drivers and get in the left lane to let them exit or enter the highway safely.
Don't put your car into neutral when coming down from a hill.
Check the tread on your tires. If the tires need replacement, the indicator ridges will make contact with the road.
If sliding on ice or oil be sure to pump your brakes to slow down, do not slam on your breaks as it may lock the wheels and make you slide further.
Watch your dog's tail when shutting the door, ask my dog and husband what happpens when you don't!!!
Do not trust other drivers' turn signals. You can never be certain that they can read arrows.
DO NOT use cruise control on a car when the roads are wet. Because the way the cruise control works, the chances of hydroplaning and/or flipping the car over are greatly enhanced.
Keep your employees safe in the driver’s seat by adding three quick checks to the beginning of every shift: 1) Make sure the seat is far enough back to prevent air bag injuries; 2) Remove seat belt slack; and 3) Adjust headrests so the center is at ear level.
