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

2. 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

3. 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

4. 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

5. 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

6. 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

7. WOULD YOU CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE IF THERE WAS A SPIKE
INSTEAD OF AN AIRBAG?
