Always look out for pedestrians they are more vulnerable because unlike the motorist they have no protection from the impact of an accident.
Be especially cautious about children, as they are smaller and less coordinated than adults and often exercise poor judgment with regard to the direction of sound and the speed at which vehicles are moving.
Slow down when the road is wet
Driving on wet roads can be very dangerous especially for the unwary or inexperienced driver. Though a skid on wet roads may be frightening, the greatest danger arises when the water pressure is heavy enough to cause the car to rise up and glide on a thin layer of water between your tires and the road causing the vehicle to be totally out of contact with the road. This phenomenon is called hydroplaning. If this occurs do not attempt to suddenly brake or turn. Ease your foot off the gas
Until the car slows down and you can feel the road again. If you need to brake, do it gently with light pumping actions.
A simple rule of thumb when driving on wet roads is drive
Slowly and carefully and be sure to steer and brake with a light touch especially on curves. Do not brake hard or lock the wheels if you need to stop or slow down.
Use protective devices and make sure they are properly secured.
• The diagonal strap of the seat belt should be fitted close to the neck straight across the shoulder and breastbone.
• Make sure the belt lies flat against the body and do not allow it to twist.
•Never incline the backrest so that the belt's diagonal strap is removed from the shoulder as this reduces the effectiveness of the device
