Trainers road safety manual guide for trainers and users

Give the Right-of-Way to Emergency Vehicles One should yield the right-of-way to police cars, fire trucks, ambulances and other emergency vehicles which are sounding a siren or bell or flashing a red light by pulling to the edge of the roadway and stopping. In the event traffic is so congested as to prevent you from safely doing so, slow down and leave a clear path for the emergency vehicles. Passing The law places the responsibility on the driver of the passing car, if the driver makes mistakes in passing he is held liable.

Three Important to Remember in Passing 1. It is illegal to speed up when being passed. Continue at the same speed, or reduce your speed. Help other drivers to pass safely. Move to the right side of your lane to give the other driver more room and a better view ahead. Show the passing driver the same courtesy that you would expect from other drivers. When not to pass — Especially on Roads Marked by Signs 1. At no-passing zone marked by signs or by solid yellow lanes or double- solid yellow lines which indicate no passing.

On blind-curves where you would not be able to see oncoming cars, always stay in your own lane on any curve, out of the way of oncoming traffic.

On going up a hill, passing is not allowed from to 1, feet from the top of a hill. At intersections or railroad crossing-where other vehicles or pedestrians may suddenly appear or unless such intersections is controlled by traffic signal.

Near a bridge or underpass hat may cut- off a road shoulder. You or the car passed might need to use the shoulder road in case emergency arises.

Where Passing is not Safe 1. When there is a long time of cars ahead. When you intend to turn or stop very soon. When an incoming car is too close. When the car ahead is going at or near the speed limit. Speed limit is still applied when passing. When sight distance ahead is limited.

When the maneuver would have to be completed in a no-passing zone such as hill, curve or intersection. Curves To make it around a tight curve, keep the turning of the front wheels in line with the sharpness of the curve. When turning right, keep your front wheel close to the center line. This prevents he rear wheels from dropping off the pavement. Curving left keep your front wheels close to the right edge to prevent the rear wheels from drifting into the other lane.

Avoid braking in a curve because this can cause you to skid out of control. Slow down before you get into the curve. Accelerate after you have passed the midpoint of the turn. Vehicle A vehicle should be properly equipped and must always be in good condition for safe driving. No one can legally drive a vehicle that may be a hazard to any person and property just like its operator, it needs regular clean-up and check-up.

Underneath Parts Check tie rod. Low tire pressure may cause the wear and tear pressure. Always equip vehicle with spare tires. Tires with worn out thread will slide more easily on wet pavements and may blow-out without warning. Outside Parts Have clean rearview mirrors to see at least ft.

Windows must be clean and free of obstruction. Check vehicle lights if they are all working such as tail lights, turn signals, stop lights, license plate lights and parking lights.

Check wipers if they operate properly to clear the windshield. Check mufflers to prevent excessive noise and smoke. Inside Parts Engine tune-up. As part of the tune-up, spark plugs, distributor points, condenser and air cleaner must be replaced, carburetor must be cleaned periodically.

It must be kept in good condition. Add distilled water if the level is low. Safety devices. Check devices such as fuses and circuit brakers. Check radiator fluid level before starting the engine. Brakes Foot. Brakes and parking brakes must be firm enough to stop. Check the temperature gauge and hose connections, brake fluid and master cylinder.

Check horn if it can be heard from a distance. A defective steering wheel, clutch, pedals and shift gears need serious attention. Turn the ignition if lights and gauges register.

Finding a competent and dependable mechanic is important to a driver for proper maintenance and prevention of car problems before they become critical. It is the responsibility of the driver to keep his car in good running condition. If you feel tired, stop for a break, no more than 3 hours at a time, so if multiple drivers are in the car, taking 3 hour shifts of driving will better your chances of safety.

At imperative, we will always promote safety whether it is in work, schools or in this case, on the road. Fill in the form below and we will send you a reminder before your current qualification expires.

Want to keep up to date with our first aid news? In individuals were killed in work zones in the US. The flagger plays a critical role in reducing this number by providing safe passage for motorists through work zones.

Attendees will learn proper flagging techniques critical to the safety of work zone personnel and designed to help reduce the risk of traffic accidents, injuries, and fatalities. Your brain is specifically wired to learn, and it began to form the neurons, synapses, and neural pathways that are the foundation of learning long before you were even born.

Understanding how your brain processes information is not only fascinating, it's also very helpful for learning most effectively. Using personal experience and a practical understanding of learning theory and human stress response, John Ryynanen, President of Edwin Learning, LLC, will provide simple things learners can do to optimize learning through the three most common formats: In-person, webinars, and eLearning.

Part 1 of this two part webinar series will discuss why flagging is important, how to properly set up a flagging work zone, and different types of flagging operations. In , pedestrians were killed in work zones in the US. Enable tracking and claiming for events that have been recorded as 'unidentified driving'.
