• Adjust your seat position, mirrors and air conditioners before you drive.

Pay attention to your safety

• Make sure your belongings in safe position, especially for the items that are easy to move when the vehicle is on the road.
• Don’t attempt to retrieve items that fall to the floor while on driving.
• Have items needed within easy reach – such as small changes, toll cards and parking ticket.
• Always wear your seat belt and do not consume any alcohol or drugs before driving.
