Important Message to Drivers by ETTI Driving School-Eldoret

Dear Drivers,

As we navigate the roads each day, it’s crucial to remember that safety should always be our top priority. Each journey presents its own set of challenges, but with vigilance, caution, and responsibility, we can prevent accidents and protect lives.

Every time we step behind the wheel, we hold the lives of ourselves, our passengers, and other road users in our hands. It’s a responsibility that cannot be taken lightly. Therefore, I urge you to consider the following points to ensure the safety of everyone on the road:

Obey Traffic Laws: Respect traffic signals, signs, and speed limits. They are in place to guide and protect us. Ignoring them not only puts you at risk but also endangers the lives of others.

Avoid Distractions: Stay focused on the road ahead. Avoid distractions such as using your phone, eating, or adjusting the radio while driving. A momentary lapse in concentration can have devastating consequences.

Maintain Your Vehicle: Regularly check your vehicle’s brakes, tires, lights, and other essential components. Ensuring that your vehicle is in good working condition reduces the likelihood of mechanical failures that could lead to accidents.

Drive Defensively: Anticipate the actions of other drivers and be prepared to react accordingly. Keep a safe distance from other vehicles, especially in adverse weather conditions or heavy traffic.

Buckle Up: Always wear your seatbelt and ensure that your passengers do the same. Seatbelts are a crucial safety measure that can significantly reduce the risk of injury or death in the event of a collision.

Stay Sober: Never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Impaired driving is not only illegal but also extremely dangerous. Always designate a sober driver or use alternative transportation if you’ve been drinking.

Be Patient and Courteous: Practice patience and courtesy towards other road users, including pedestrians and cyclists. Remember, we’re all sharing the road, and mutual respect goes a long way in preventing accidents.

By adhering to these principles and committing to safe driving practices, we can significantly reduce the incidence of accidents and prevent the loss of precious lives. Let’s work together to make our roads safer for everyone.

Remember, safety starts with you.
