10 ways you can help make Ontario's roads safest in North America
 
  1. Don’t drink and drive. Don’t drive when you’re taking medication that will affect your driving.
  2. Wear your seat belt. (Unless you are a passenger on a bus without seat belts).
  3. Obey the speed limits. Slow down when road and weather conditions are poor.
  4. Don’t take risks: don’t cut people off in traffic, make sudden lane changes or run yellow lights.
  5. Don’t drive when you’re tired, upset or sick.
  6. If you’re in doubt, let the other driver go first — yield the right-of-way.
  7. Keep a safe distance between your vehicle and the one ahead.
  8. Avoid distractions such as loud music and CB radios.
  9. Check your mirrors frequently; always check your blind spot before you change lanes.
  10. Check traffic in all directions before going into an intersection.
