Introduction<br />
Being a professional driver involves more<br />
than just driving a different type of vehicle.<br />
It means taking pride in your work <strong>and</strong><br />
being recognized as a professional driver.<br />
As a professional driver you must<br />
always make sure you are mentally <strong>and</strong><br />
physically fit <strong>to</strong> drive, your vehicle is<br />
well maintained <strong>and</strong> is in good working<br />
condition, <strong>and</strong> you drive within the law<br />
including driving without distractions.<br />
Always drive defensively. Be patient <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>to</strong>lerant of other drivers. Protect yourself,<br />
the vehicle, the passengers <strong>and</strong> the cargo.<br />
The more you can anticipate <strong>and</strong> avoid<br />
dangerous situations, the less likely you<br />
will be in a collision. Being involved in a<br />
collision may result in loss of income, job,<br />
health <strong>and</strong> possibly a life.<br />
Remember that road <strong>safety</strong> is<br />
everyone’s business.<br />
