BMW Driver Training. General safety tips prior to going on holiday. Every time we pick up the car keys we are potentially placing ourselves at risk of being involved in a vehicle collision. However, many collisions are avoidable if we are prepared. Let′s start with the basics: •Prior to your journey ensure that your vehicle is up to the task. It must be mechanically sound. The tyres need to be in good condition. Tow hitches must be in good operating order. Have your vehicle checked by your local dealership and take heed of their advice. •Plan your trip! Know where you are going to stop for fuel and refreshments. It is important to stop every two hours in order to take a break. •Have all relevant emergency numbers on a handy reference card as well as stored in your cell phone. Teach the children what to do in the event that they are the only ones conscious after a collision. •Have the following with you in the vehicle: A First Aid Kit, warm blanket (space blanket may be included in first aid kit), lighter, warning triangle, water, food. •Have a map on hand if you are not familiar with the area.

BMW Driver Training. General safety tips prior to going on holiday. Now let′s focus on us the driver: In order to keep ourselves safe we need to understand a few things. •Excessive speed does kill! If you have not matched your speed to the surrounding traffic you are in trouble. If you are considerably faster or slower than the traffic around you, you are placing yourself at risk. •Following distance! It needs to be at least 3 seconds between yourself and the vehicle that you are following. Your priority is to get to your destination safely. Our perception that we won′t make progress if we maintain a following distance is nonsense! We keep a following distance to ensure that we have enough time to understand and then react to a hazard calmly. Close the distance at your peril. •Stopping distance! When you are stationary behind another vehicle, always ensure you maintain roughly a car length so that in an emergency situation you can escape easily. Keep checking your rear view mirror. •Scan the road as far ahead as possible to ensure you identify hazards early. The majority of major collisions takes place at intersections, so check them thoroughly. •Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs would obviously increase your chances of being involved in a collision. Don′t do it. •Seatbelts should be worn by every occupant in the vehicle. Serious injury can and will occur should the occupants not be belted in and smash into each other. Small children must be in an appropriate child seat. No child may stand on the seats. Ignorance is no longer an excuse. Their lives are at extreme risk if they are not belted in. •Talking on the cell phone increases your chances of being involved in a collision by 4 times. •Give yourself enough time to reach your destination. Take into account there may be road blocks, heavy traffic, accident scenes or adverse weather conditions to contend with.
