Service Description
Provides “kids-to-adults” messages, from child amputees to drivers, developed to promote safe driving and to prevent serious injury due to traffic accidents. Offers defensive driving tips and DRIVESAFE windshield stickers. Tips include:
- Tailgated? – Let’em go by!
- Don’t be panicked by other drivers.
- Skateboards, rollerblades, and bikes are here – share the road.
- Slow down 10 km/h in bad weather.
- Be seen. Use your headlights night and day.
- Don’t sightsee when behind the wheel.
- Anger is dangerous. Try a smile.
- Conversation distracting? Head it off – politely.
- Expect the other driver to ignore signals. Don’t trust others with your life.
- Don’t be tempted to phone or text – use hands free or turn it off.
