If you are driving...... Avoid The Fatal Four.
Don't put your life or your mates at risk.
1. Drink and Drugs
NO EXCUSE.
Any alcohol impairs your driving and the same goes for drugs; even prescription drugs can slow your thinking and reaction time.
Don't drink/drug drive.
2. Mobile Phones and Distractions
NO EXCUSE.
Your reaction times are doubled if you use a mobile whilst driving.
Switch it off before you drive.
3. Speeding
NO EXCUSE.
Just a few extra MPH can make all the difference to your reaction and braking distances. Speed limits are not targets.
Slow down.
4. No Seat Belt
NO EXCUSE.
No matter how short your journey, always wear a seat belt.
Doing so cuts the chance of being killed in a crash by up to 50%. Belt up.
