Before turning or changing lanes,

in addition to giving the correct signals

glance in the mirrors to ascertain the
intentions of the drivers behind you.

Before cutting back into your lane

after overtaking a vehicle wait until
it appears in your inner mirror.

At night when meeting oncom-

ing traffic, keep your eyes on the

right side of the road rather than

looking straight into the approaching
headlights or other light sources: you
will avoid being blinded.

When the car is left in dark areas

always turn on the parking lights:
