Slow, be ready to stop, give way. A yield sign indicates that you must allow vehicles or pedestrians with the right of way to proceed. Slow down as you approach and stop if necessary to avoid a collision.

Drive at or below posted limit. Speed limits are established to ensure safe travel based on road conditions and traffic flow. Exceeding these limits reduces your reaction time and increases the severity of potential accidents.

Stop behind the stop line. A red traffic light signals that you must come to a complete stop and remain stopped. Do not proceed until the light turns green and you have checked that the intersection is clear of any remaining traffic.

Slow, proceed with caution, yield. A flashing yellow light warns you of a potentially hazardous situation. Reduce your speed, be attentive to your surroundings, and yield the right of way to any vehicles or pedestrians already in the intersection.

Give space, be ready to stop. Pedestrians are among the most vulnerable road users, and their safety should be a top priority. Provide them with ample space when passing and be prepared to stop suddenly if they make unexpected movements.

At least 1 to 1.5 meters . Cyclists need sufficient lateral space to maintain their balance and avoid hazards such as potholes or opening car doors. Passing too closely can create dangerous turbulence and increase the risk of a collision.

They are less visible. Give extra space. Motorcycles have a smaller profile than cars, making them harder to see in traffic. They are also more susceptible to changes in road surface and wind gusts, so give them extra space and be predictable in your actions.

Driving too closely behind another vehicle. Tailgating does not leave you enough time or space to react if the vehicle in front brakes suddenly, greatly increasing your risk of a rear-end collision.

Be patient, avoid confrontation. Getting angry or confrontational with other drivers can escalate tense situations and distract you from safe driving. Focus on maintaining your composure and prioritizing safety.

Dangerous and can cause rear-end collisions. Abruptly applying your brakes can surprise drivers behind you, who may not have enough time to react and stop safely, leading to a rear-end collision. Brake smoothly and progressively whenever possible.

Reduces reaction/stopping distance. When you follow a vehicle too closely, you significantly decrease the time and space you have to react if they brake suddenly. This dramatically increases your risk of a collision.

Risky, disrupt flow, increase collision chance. Frequent or poorly signaled lane changes can disrupt the smooth flow of traffic, forcing other drivers to adjust their speed and increasing the potential for sideswipe collisions or other accidents.

Less reaction time. Driving at excessive speeds reduces the amount of time you have to react to unexpected hazards. It also significantly increases your stopping distance and the severity of any impact in the event of a crash.

Poor focus and increased impatience. When you are under stress, your concentration can suffer, making it harder to pay attention to the road and potential hazards. Increased impatience can also lead to risky behaviors like speeding or aggressive maneuvers.

Can reduce focus and reaction time. Fatigue impairs your cognitive functions and reaction time, similar to alcohol. It can also lead to dangerous microsleeps, where you briefly lose consciousness without realizing it, posing a severe risk of accidents.

Affects reaction time and judgement. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs drastically reduces your judgment, coordination, reaction time, and vision, making it incredibly dangerous and against the law in all jurisdictions.

Mandatory during low visibility (dusk till dawn). Headlights are essential for both seeing the road ahead and making your vehicle visible to other road users during nighttime hours and in conditions where visibility is poor, such as rain or fog.

For oncoming vehicles and when following closely behind another vehicle. Using high beams can severely impair the vision of other drivers, leading to dangerous situations. Switching to low beams ensures their visibility is maintained while still allowing you to see the road ahead.

When visibility is reduced due to fog, heavy rain, or snow. Fog lights are designed to provide better illumination in dense fog without causing glare. Using them in clear conditions can actually reduce your own visibility and potentially dazzle other drivers.

Operating a vehicle in a way that endangers people. This includes actions like speeding, tailgating, erratic lane changes, running red lights, and other behaviors that show a disregard for the safety of others and traffic laws.
