Try to dial when you are not moving or have a passenger dial for you. If you must dial while moving, dial the first three numbers, assess traffic and then finish dialing. Store frequently called numbers in the phone's memory so you can dial by pushing one or two buttons. Use your hands-free speaker phone whenever possible. It's the best way to keep your hands on the wheel. Check your mirrors every four to five seconds while talking. If your caller gives you a phone number, use the electronic scratch pat (available on most cell phones) rather than trying to write it down. Use your voice messaging service to "take notes" or record reminders rather than attempt to write while driving. If your phone rings while you are in heavy traffic or hazardous conditions, let your voice messaging service take the call. Return the call when conditions have improved. If you need to pull over to give a conversation your full attention, find an off-road place to park that is not hazardous to you or other drivers.Sales Review Meet 4th August 2014 ; Monday @ CochinSeat BeltsPrevent crashing into steering wheel, dash, or windshieldKeep you inside vehicleProtect body organsImprove chance of remaining consciousKeep you behind the wheel if you have to swerve or brake suddenly

11Slide Show NotesIf youre involved in a traffic accident because of driving hazards and bad conditions, you could suffer serious injuries or even be killed. Fortunately, we have a simple but very effective means to protect ourselves in the event of a motor vehicle accident. Were talking, of course, about seat belts. In the past 25 to 30 years, seat belts have saved over 100,000 lives.A properly worn seat belt will prevent you from hitting the steering wheel, dash, or windshield. It will also keep you inside the vehicle, which increases your chances of survival. Youre 25 times more likely to be killed if youre thrown from a vehicle during an accident.Seat belts are also designed to use your bodys strong bones to absorb shock, rather than damaging delicate internal organs. Wearing a seat belt will increase your chance of remaining conscious after a crash, which will help you get out of the vehicle and you can help others.Finally, a seat belt keeps you in control of your vehicle if you are forced to swerve or brake suddenly.Do you always buckle up when you get behind the wheel? You should.Ask for a show of hands to see how many trainees always wear a seat belt. Emphasize that those who drive on the job must wear seat belts.Vehicle MaintenanceRegular tune-upsOil changesFluid levelsBrakesTire treads and pressureLights, signals, and wipers

12Slide Show NotesWe mentioned earlier that one significant driving hazard is vehicles in poor operating condition. To eliminate this hazard, maintain your vehicle by following the maintenance schedule outlined in your owners manual. For example, perform tune-ups regularly and change the oil every 3,000 miles. Check and maintain proper fluid levels for coolant, brake fluid, and power steering fluid. Dont forget to keep the windshield washer tank full so you dont run out when you need it.Have your brakes inspected according to the schedule in the owners manual, and replace brakes as necessary. Check your tires to make sure they are properly inflated and still have sufficient tread. Rotate tires every 10,000 miles so that they wear evenly, and change tires as necessary.Also be sure your lights, signals, and wipers are all working properly.Do you follow the maintenance schedule outlined in the owners manual for your vehicle? Is your vehicle always in safe condition when you hit the road?Ask trainees if they follow proper maintenance schedules and keep their vehicles in good, safe operating condition at all times?Pre-Drive InspectionWalk around inspectionTiresLeaks under vehicleWindows clean, nothing blocking visionMirrors properly adjustedLights working properly

13Slide Show NotesIn addition to regular maintenance, you should always give your vehicle a quick visual inspection before you hit the road. Walk around the vehicle before you get in to make sure theres nothing behind or underneath that you might run over. Give the tires a quick glance. Check for any leaks under the vehicle. When you get in the vehicle, make sure the windows are clean and that theres nothing blocking your vision. Also make sure both rearview and side mirrors are properly adjusted.Finally, be sure all outside and inside lights work properlyincluding turn signals.Obey Traffic Rules And Use Common SenseSpeed limitsTraffic signs and signalsFollow the 2-second ruleSignal your intentions

14Slide Show NotesDefensive drivers obey traffic rules and use common sense. We hope you are a defensive driver. We hope you always obey speed limits, traffic signs, and signals.We also hope that you follow the 2 second rule. This means you should always stay at least 2 seconds behind the vehicle in frontand allow more distance at night or in bad weather. How can you tell if youre 2 seconds behind another vehicle? Simple. Just note when the vehicle in front passes a traffic sign or utility pole. Then slowly count 1, 2. If you pass the sign or pole before youve counted 2, youre too close.Another thing defensive drivers do is signal their intentions. If youre going to turn or want to change lanes, switch on your turning signal in plenty of time. If you plan to stop, tap your brakes a few times to slow down so that the driver behind you can see your brake lights and then he will understand that youre slowing down and may stop. If somebodys right behind you, stick your arm out the window, extend it downward, and wave your hand backward to show you intend to stop.Defensive drivers also pass with care and only where allowed. They slow down when being passed if the other vehicle needs room to pass safely. Sales Review Meet 4th August 2014 ; Monday @ Cochin
