Introduction

Being a professional driver involves more than just driving a different type of vehicle.

As a professional driver you must always make sure you are mentally and physically fit to drive, your vehicle is well maintained and is in good working condition, and you drive within the law including driving without distractions.

• Always drive defensively.
• Be patient and tolerant of other drivers.
• Protect yourself, the vehicle, the passengers, and the cargo.
• The more you can anticipate and avoid dangerous situations, the less likely you will be in a collision.
• Being involved in a collision may result in loss of income, job, health, and possibly a life.
