2) Don't use hand-braking unless una-
voidable. It causes the vehicle to skid
and a rearend collision occur. It is espe-
cially dangerous when the tyres are
worn, for they allow a larger skid.
Use foot brake in three stages
1. Warn the vehicle behind you
2. Gradually apply the brake.
3. Bring the vehicle to a halt.
3) When driving on a downhill, try not to
apply the brake but use the engine
brake effectively. Overuse of the foot
brake may result in total brake failure.
4) Avoid reckless high speed driving and
try to drive at a safe speed suitable for
the road conditions while maintaining a
constant speed.
5) The higher the speed, the narrower the
driver's visual range becomes. In such
a state, it is difficult to anticipate any
hazard and the driver feels much
fatigued.

6) Never do sharp handling during high
speed driving. You will lose your control
over your vehicle.
7) When overtaking or changing the lane
while driving at a high speed, keep an
ample vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
1) Be sure to perform safety checks before
starting a trip.
2) Take rest at certain intervals to prevent
an accident which may occur when you
are sleepy or tired.

1) Drive more slowly at night than in the
daytime,
for
restricted at night.
2) Don't overtake other vehicles at night.
Darkness bothers your sense of speed
and hinders your judgment on the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance.
3) Don't use the high headlight beam
unless its use is inevitable. Its dazzle
may blitz the driver of the oncoming
vehicle, thus causing an accident.
4) Always keep the window glasses clean.
Don't operate the windshield wiper
