HOW TO DRIVE SAFELY
It’s safe to care. With all the advanced technology within our reach, it’s easy to overlook the one thing that makes every drive truly safe. And that is you. The driver. Since driver is the most important safety feature, it’s crucial to know the basic and not so basic principles of safe driving. That also includes understanding how to make the best use of safety assistant systems. We’ll show you. Using an example of the two most common driving situations – driving in dense city traffic versus long distance driving.
