The dangers of

handphone driving!
Using the mobile phone while you are driving is an inconsiderate and dangerous
act. It distracts you from the road and affects your ability to control your vehicle.

Words of advice to motorists:

1

You are not allowed to phone and drive.

Do not SMS when you are driving.

If you must answer or make a call,

ask your passenger to do it for you.

If you are travelling alone, drive to a safe place before

making the call.

If there is an urgent need to use the mobile phone while

you are driving, use the car kit or mobile phone headset
and keep the call short.

The best gift to your loved ones is yourself.

MAKE IT HOME SAFELY
