Every time you drive, be careful and considerate to other drivers, road users and pedestrians. Treat other road users as you would like them to treat you. If another driver has made a mistake, and we all do, try to be understanding. That way you will arrive at your destination stress-free. If you are threatened by a road rage driver, keep calm, ignore the driver, hang back and don't retaliate.
Pedestrians Look out for pedestrians, especially in residential areas and town centres.
Be ready for them to step out between parked vehicles. Hitting a pedestrian at 40mph is almost always fatal. Look out especially for young children who may dash out into the road and for elderly pedestrians who may not see or hear you. Cyclists Cyclists are very vulnerable. They do not have the protection a driver has, so take care when you pass cyclists and give them plenty of room.
