Five habits that keep you in control
Police and road safety teams across the UK talk about the Fatal Five: the five behaviours behind most serious crashes. Flip them round and they're five simple habits every good driver has.
Drink and drug driving
Driving after alcohol or drugs, including medicines that can affect driving.
The habit: sort your Plan B for getting home before you go out.
Cornerstones: the foundationDistraction
Phones, eating and drinking, fiddling with music or sat nav, chatting with passengers.
The habit: set everything up before you move and switch on driving focus.
Cornerstones: a pillarNot wearing a seatbelt
Not belting up, or not making sure everyone in the car is.
The habit: belt on before the car moves, every trip, however short.
Cornerstones: the foundationCareless driving
Driving without due care, including aggressive driving, tailgating and risky overtakes.
The habit: leave space, stay calm, and let other drivers' mistakes go.
