▶ Always pay attention to the task of driving and do
not be distracted by internal or external factors,
e.g., passengers, cell phones, etc.
▶ Do not drive if you are tired or drowsy. This can be
particularly important for drivers suffering from
sleep apnea.
Sharing the Road
Not all road users drive cars. Many people walk, ride
bicycles, drive motorcycles or golf carts. Here are some
tips to help you safely share the road:
▶ Expect to encounter other road users on the road at
anytime and anywhere.
▶ Watch carefully for pedestrians, bicyclists, and
motorcyclists who can be very hard to notice –
especially in bad weather or at night.
▶ Stop before making a right turn at a red light or stop
sign. Pedestrians and bicyclists using crosswalks at
intersections rely on this time to cross.
