While driving, do not use a mobile phone

and do not exceed speed limits

Driving at excessive speed for the road conditions and driving when
using a GSM are the two greatest cause of road accidents and
fatalities.

If you choose to drive too fast, ignore speed limits or think you can
phone and drive at the same time you are in serious danger of being
killed.

If you are the driver you should:

• Never use a mobile phone, pager, send or read a text message, or
even use a hands-free mobile phone device whilst driving.
• Stay at or below the maximum allowable speed for the road you
are driving on, as indicated by road signs or Journey Management
instructions.
• Adjust your speed to the prevailing conditions.

If you are the passenger you should:

• Intervene if a Driver is using a phone in a moving vehicle.
• Intervene if a Driver is exceeding the maximum allowable speed.
• Intervene if a Driver is driving too fast for the road conditions.
