  2. Behaviour during traffic while driving

  3. Beingargumentativewhile in traffic Traffic by itself is already nerve wrecking, and arguing is not going to lead you anywhere. If you are wrong, apologize, and make people around you be influenced by your kindness. “Kindness generates kindness”. • Intoxicated driving In case of alcohol consumption or drug usage, do not drive. If the driver is drunk or intoxicated by other drugs, do not get in the car. Taxi cabs, buses and walks are a better option than risking your life. • Respect pedestrians and cyclists It is the obligation of every driver to respect other vehicles and pedestrians, and the respect is mutual. Vehicles such as cars are bigger and stronger than pedestrians and cyclists. Do not take advantage of their situation, because the damage on them is greater than the damage on you. • Check the mirrors Mirrors inside the car and outside, one in each end (2) allow drivers to see more and further. It allows the driver to see the laterals and behind, without having to do much effort. The correct usage of mirrors is beneficial and a law.

  4. Signalize before turning to any direcions Every car has indicators, which is a signalization system to indicate to other people in traffic which direction you are turning to. By this system, you help traffic and avoid accidents, car crashes or arguments. • Turn headlights on at night and in dark places By turning the headlights on at night, it allows the drives to see ahead, beware of what is on the way, and be able to drive safely in the dark. It is not only good for drivers, but also for pedestrians to be aware of cars in the roads. • Respectthespeedlimit / Don’toverspeed There is a limit for a reason. Some roads are more dangerous than others, and it is important to be responsible for yourself and whoever is driving alongside. The speed limit is worked out by engineers who predict dangers ahead of you.

  5. Vehicle’s condition • Use seat belt at all times Drivers and passengers should obey the law to wear seat belt at all times. • Respect the traffic lights Avoid car crashes, or running over people who are in their rights to cross the road. It is against the law to disobey the traffic light. You must respect it. Green means you are free to go, yellow is a warning to stop, and red is the one where you should not move even 1cm ahead.

  6. PedestrianRules

  7. PedestriansHaveRules Too • Look both ways before crossing the street. • Don’t cross the street when the traffic light is red. • Always signalize before crossing, when there is no traffic light.

  8. PedestriansHaveRules Too • Pedestrians need to respect drivers, as cars have to respect pedestrians. • If there isn’t pavement to walk on, pedestrians must walk facing the traffic if possible, so they can see oncoming traffic. If not, use the right side of the road.

  9. PedestriansHaveRules Too • Cross the road before a sharp right turn, the cars are slowing down to turn, and have a better chance of seeing you. • Never walk, or cross behind a reversing vehicle.
