4-2 Driving Your Vehicle • Keep vehicle tires properly inflated. { CAUTION Assume that other road users (pedestrians, bicyclists, and other drivers) are going to be careless and make mistakes. Anticipate what they might do and be ready. In addition: • Allow enough following distance between you and the driver in front of you. • Focus on the task of driving. Driver distraction can cause collisions resulting in injury or possible death. These simple defensive driving techniques could save your life. Drunk Driving • Combine several trips into a single trip. { CAUTION Drinking and then driving is very dangerous. Your reflexes, perceptions, attentiveness, and judgment can be affected by even a small amount of alcohol. You can have a serious - or even fatal - collision if you drive after drinking. Do not drink and drive or ride with a driver who has been drinking. Ride home in a cab; or if you are with a group, designate a driver who will not drink. Death and injury associated with drinking and driving is a global tragedy. Alcohol affects four things that anyone needs to drive a vehicle: judgment, muscular coordination, vision, and attentiveness. • Replace the vehicle's tires with the same TPC Spec number molded into the tire's sidewall near the size. • Follow recommended scheduled maintenance. Defensive Driving Defensive driving means "always expect the unexpected." The first step in driving defensively is to wear your safety belt - See Safety Belts: They Are for Everyone on page 1-12.
