TRANSPORTATION TUESDAY Three things that make you safe on the road ATTITUDE HAS TRANSPORTATION TUESDAY CHANGED YOUR ATTITUDE? Transportation Tuesday

SAFE ATTITUDE … means never overtaking a vehicle stopped at a pedestrian crossing after a NO OVERTAKING sign (wait until you pass a sign canceling the restriction) when you are not 100% safe, eg approaching a corner or bend a bridge or hill a junction on the shoulder (the Landcruiser lane is for losers) if you will cause conflict with other road users approaching road works (traffic cones are a good clue) near a school (never pass a school bus surrounded by children) queuing traffic (you can’t know what they’re queuing for) changes in the white lines will help you anticipate these hazards remember … if the slower lane beside you is empty ... move into it and let other vehicles pass you Transportation Tuesday

AVOIDING COLLISIONS AT INTERSECTIONS Technically, you have the right of way, but the other driver does not yield. What do you do? A Ignore him. Proceed as planned. He needs to learn the rules of the road. B Let him pass. There is no point risking a crash to prove a point. hopefully this is you SHOW YOUR FRIENDLY ATTITUDE Transportation Tuesday

Remember the little guy ... High in your truck or protected by your airbags you probably feel superior, safe and secure. So spare a thought for those on the road who are smaller than you … motorbike riders and cyclists have their rights too. THINK ONCE, THINK TWICE, THINK BIKE HAVE A CONSIDERATE ATTITUDE Transportation Tuesday

DRIVE WITH A PEDESTRIAN’S ATTITUDE EVERY JOURNEY BEGINS AND ENDS ON FOOT When a 200lb person collides with a 2000lb moving vehicle, there is no doubt the person will come off worst DRIVE WITH A PEDESTRIAN’S ATTITUDE Transportation Tuesday

It doesn’t matter how good a driver you are It doesn’t matter how good a driver you are. The faster you go, the longer it takes you to stop. THE SPEED LIMIT IS NOT A TARGET Transportation Tuesday

WOULD YOU CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE IF THERE WAS A SPIKE INSTEAD OF AN AIRBAG? Transportation Tuesday
