  • Use light signals to indicate your intention to turn or to change lanes.
  • When light turns green, make sure intersection clears before you go.
  • Driving a car full of noisy, excited teenage friends can be very taxing and spells danger.
  • Make sure your car has gas, accurate tyre pressure, clean air and fuel filters.
  • Always observe the OAP Map- Observe Anticipate and Plan your drive.
  • Never use your cellular phones while driving.
