> Professional Drivers/Fleets
Owing to the nature of work, the time which professional drivers
stay on the road is much longer than other road users. Therefore,
professional drivers should pay attention to the following points
in addition to the general rules which drivers should observe:
| Before you drive: |
 |
Have enough sleep and rest before you drive. Do not work for a long time continuously. |
|
Do not drink
or take drugs before you drive. |
|
Check your
vehicle everyday. Use appropriate spare parts and keep
maintenance regularly. |
|
| When you are driving: |
|
Drive attentively
and stay alert to the road condition. |
|
Alight and
observe the road condition before reversing if your
vehicle is large. Ask others to give signal if possible. |
|
Check around
the vehicle to see if anybody or any goods is nearby
before you leave to ensure safety after unloading. |
|
Do
not smoke in or near a vehicle carrying inflammable
or explosive goods. |
|
Passengers should be carried
only on properly provided and secured seats. Passengers
should not sit on loads or in the load-carrying part
of the vehicle. |
