Traffic safety recommendations (Focus 2)

Driving style and the comfort of the driver's seat affect the level of safety, so do the following:

– Always wear a seat belt, even if you are driving in the city;

– Make sure all passengers, even those in the back seats, are wearing seat belts. Passengers who are not wearing seat belts put themselves, the driver, and other passengers at risk in the event of an accident;

– for transporting children under 12 years of age, use special child seats in which the child is securely fastened relative to the seat, and the seat relative to the car;

– Adjust the driver"s seat so that all controls are within easy reach;

– adjust the position of the steering wheel so that all instruments in the instrument cluster are visible and your hands on the steering wheel are in the most comfortable position;

– make sure all pedals move freely;

– do not drive while intoxicated. The use of alcohol, drugs and some medications negatively affects the senses, the speed of a person"s reaction, his driving abilities, increases the risk of creating an emergency situation and getting injured;

– Do not drive if you feel tired. Stop to rest more often (at least every 2 hours);

– drive at a speed appropriate to the traffic intensity, weather and road conditions. Remember: the car"s controllability and braking qualities largely depend on the tires" grip on the road surface. Road sections with freshly laid asphalt are very dangerous. On a wet road, aquaplaning may occur, in which case a complete loss of control is possible;

– Observe speed limit signs.
