ROAD COURTESY
A. Other Motorists
1.) Give proper signals to other motorists. It is very vital to signal your intention of stopping, passing, turning, left or right, or slowing down to warm other drivers.
2.) In parking, wait for vacant spaces and give consideration to those who came first. Park orderly to give enough space to those incoming vehicles who would also be parking.
3.) Extend assistance to other drivers who happen to have vehicle trouble along the road.
4.) Give way to vehicles who would like to overtake your path, although you know that you have the right-of-way.
5.) Give proper courtesy to motorcyclists, bicyclists and other road users.
6.) Check your distance with other vehicles. Avoid tail-gaiting.
B. Passengers
Driver's should be courteous and considerate to their passengers.
1.) Be careful while driving. Follow strictly traffic signs and signals to avoid delay once apprehended.
2.) Do not slam your brakes or press your pedals too hard. Your passenger might not be able to hold themselves and may smash inside your vehicle.
3.) Be sure your passengers have stepped-out of your vehicle safely before starting to move.
4.) To taxi drivers, be honest to your passengers. Do not drive with fast meters and always give them their exact change.
5.) Do not smoke while driving.
6.) To public utility or for hire drivers, avoid trip cutting.
The Role of Passengers
1.) Passengers should never do anything to interfere with the driver and as much as possible
do not distract him while he is driving.
2.) In looking for a street name or address, the passenger must assist the driver and do the searching.
3.) The passenger must handle the paying or change in approaching a toll booth.
4.) Passengers should discourage the driver from reckless behavior.
5.) If the driver's decision is impaired by anger, alcohol or by any other reason, the passenger may decide to risk a friendship or may refuse to ride the car he is driving.
C. Pedestrians
Drivers have special obligations to pedestrians.
1.) Children. They often forget the dangers of traffic when playing on sidewalks. They run into the street without thinking. Be alert.
2.) Older People. Them may not see or hear very well and may not move of the way quickly, so give them time to cross.
3.) Handicapped People. Visually handicapped people crossing the roads with white cane are pedestrians. The same are for persons confined in wheel chairs while crossing the streets. They should be given the greatest possible caution and attention. When you see handicapped people crossing the road, do not honk your horns.
