Observe safe driving tips for your ‘Balik Kampung’ this festive season:-
* Plan your journey- Identify the route and interchanges that you want to take as well as the rest areas for rest stops. Use a map to plan your journey.
* Have adequate rest- Rest sufficiently during the day if you wish to travel by night.- Avoid driving during late night and early morning hours, which are the body’s natural sleep times.
* Inspect your vehicle thoroughly before embarking on your journey.* Make sure your spare tyre is well inflated.
* Send your vehicle for service.
* Leave early
* Buckle up
* Observe the speed limit.
*Allow a safe distance from the vehicle in front.- Keep a safe distance between you and the car in front so you have a bit of extra space should there be an emergency stop. The safe distance for a vehicle traveling at 110 km/h is 30 meters (6 vehicles), 25 meters (5 vehicles) for a vehicle traveling at 100 km/h and 20 meters (4 vehicles) for a vehicle traveling at 90 km/h.
* Take regular breaks. Stop every two hours to rest and stretch.- Driving continuously for two hours can make you feel fired and drowsy.- Share your driving. Switch drivers about every two hours even if you don’t feel tired.
* Give your fullest concentration while driving.
