TGA Vita Operating Instructions And Owner's Handbook page 15

Again in most cases people are willing if asked properly. Don't risk pulling down a whole display to reach the top
shelf. ASK FOR HELP.
Speed in shops and buildings – Reduce it! – Drive at the slowest speed to avoid any accident. Be especially
careful if you need to reverse, that your way is clear of shop fittings and people
On the Road – Remember you are not driving a car, but a very small and slow vehicle, which is therefore more
vulnerable.
If it is possible, use the footpath. It is wise to avoid using roads, particularly busy ones.
WHEN DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE ON THE ROAD:
Remember although this is legal for all Class 3 vehicles it is not always safe or sensible to do so. You are
responsible for your own safety and that of other road users. The normal rules of the road apply and you must
observe the law about:
 Driving on the left side of the road. Never drive against the traffic.
 One way streets – Never drive against the traffic
 Giving way where cars would give way (details in the Highway Code)
 Obeying traffic lights and all other road signals and instructions
 Giving way to pedestrians on crossings.
Always remember your vehicle is not a car and is small and vulnerable – If you need to turn right across traffic, try
to get on to the footpath before the turn and then use a safe pedestrian crossing or traffic light controlled crossing.
Only try to turn right if you are completely sure it is safe to do so. Do not rely only on your mirror. It may give a
false impression of distance. Always give clear indication of intention to turn left or right.
Remember – the car you can see when you look behind may appear a long way away, but it is almost certainly
moving faster than you are, often deceptively so. It could well be upon you before you complete your maneuver.
And it may not be able to stop in time.
When passing a parked vehicle – take great care you are not moving into the path of a faster moving vehicle
coming behind you, or towards you. Always signal your intention to pull out.
In the event of a difficult or dangerous situation – Use your hazard lights – But do not drive with them on
unnecessarily
Please ensure you have read and understood everything in this manual, it has been put together using many years
experience to ensure you will get the best from your Vita and that you will enjoy using it.
Best wishes and safe driving
