We often take things we do regularly for granted. Like driving. We sometimes assume that we have the skills to handle all situations, even those rarely experienced - like driving in the snow or heavy fog.

You can help reduce your risk of being in a crash by: 

• Anticipating what might happen by looking ahead and closely observing the movement of other traffic wherever you drive
• Expecting the unexpected in city driving and take extra care when changing lanes, overtaking, going through intersections and driving at night
• Keeping a greater distance to the car in front when driving on rural roads and overtake only when safe - never rush or lose patience
• Taking a 15 minute powernap whenever you feel drowsy or sleepy
• Reducing your speed accordingly when driving conditions become difficult or extreme through rain, fog, snow or glare
• Not driving after you have been drinking or have taken drugs
• Always travelling at a speed that is appropriate to the road and the conditions
• Not using a mobile phone while driving (avoid hands-free, hand-held or texting)
