Drive
slowly and carefully through construction zones and areas. Obey
the warning signs and people who are directing traffic through the
area. Adjust your speed as per the condition. Do not change lanes
and watch for workers and construction vehicles on the road.
Do
not use mobile phones while driving. Talking on the mobile
diverts your attention and affects your reactions and it can
cause an accident.
Pay
full attention and remain focused while you drive. Even if you have
years of experience it is important for you to pay full attention
to your driving.
