Braking
EXAMPLE
72F-08-011
1) Use the parking brake when parking
your vehicle and shift the gear shift
lever into the first gear or reverse gear
position for the sake of safety.
2) Don't use hand-braking
unavoidable. It causes the vehicle to
skid and a collision may occur. It is
especially dangerous when the tyres
are worn out as they skid more.
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 downhill, try not to apply
the brake but use the engine brake
effectively. Overuse of the foot-brake
may result in reduction of brake effec-
tiveness.
Long distance driving
1) Be sure to perform safety checks
before starting a trip.
2) Take rest at regular intervals to prevent
accidents which may occur due to feel-
unless
ing sleepy or tired.
Night time driving
EXAMPLE
72F-08-012
1) Drive at lower speeds during the night
than in the daytime, as the visual range
is restricted at night.
2) Avoid overtaking other vehicles at night.
Darkness bothers your sense of speed
and hinders your judgment of vehicle-
to-vehicle distance.
