more information on using that
system, including pairing and using
a cell phone.

Defensive Driving

Defensive driving means “always
expect the unexpected.” The first
step in driving defensively is to wear
the safety belt. See Safety Belts on
page 3‑8
.

.

Assume that other road users
(pedestrians, bicyclists, and
other drivers) are going to be
careless and make mistakes.
Anticipate what they might do
and be ready.

.

Allow enough following distance
between you and the driver in
front of you.

.

Focus on the task of driving.

Drunk Driving

Death and injury associated with
drinking and driving is a global
tragedy.

WARNING

Drinking and then driving is very
dangerous. Your reflexes,
perceptions, attentiveness, and
judgment can be affected by even
a small amount of alcohol. You
can have a serious — or even
fatal — collision if you drive after
drinking.

Do not drink and drive or ride with
a driver who has been drinking.
Ride home in a cab; or if you are
with a group, designate a driver
who will not drink.

Control of a Vehicle

Braking, steering, and accelerating
are important factors in helping to
control a vehicle while driving.
