ADS Scotland Ltd - Safe Driving Tips

The following tips are just some of the good driving practices that each driver should follow.

Speed Kills - why not start your journey 5-10 minutes earlier. This will ensure you don't have to rush.
Don't Drink and Drive - alcohol affects vision, co-ordination and reaction times
Don't use mobile phones on the move - pull into the side of the road or at least use a hands -free kit.
Be more alert when driving at night as it becomes more difficult to see road hazards such as bends in the road.
In poor weather conditions increase the separation distance between your vehicle and the car in front.
When driving in built up areas be particularly aware of vulnerable road users such as cyclists, pedestrians, animals - show some consideration and give them plenty of room.
When travelling behind a large vehicle drop back in order to gain a clearer view of the road ahead.
Be considerate of inexperienced drivers (young or old). Their road awareness may not be as good as an experienced driver.
Be patient with learner drivers. Remember you were a learner once.
