Select a context to see the priority watch points.
Effective braking and tyres in good condition help you keep control of the vehicle.
If braking feels unusual, the vehicle pulls to one side or tyres show abnormal wear, have the vehicle checked before continuing a demanding journey.
See clearly and be seen, day and night.
Check lights, indicators, visibility through the glass and wiper condition, especially before rain or night driving.
Your vehicle communicates: pay attention to unusual signs.
A warning light, new vibration or noise should not be interpreted remotely. Note the context and seek the right diagnosis.
Functional equipment for safer journeys.
Before departure, check that useful equipment is present, accessible and suited to the journey.
On wet roads, grip is reduced. Anticipate and adapt your driving.
In rain, tread depth, measured pressure and smooth inputs directly affect stability.
Good visibility is essential in rainy weather.
Clean the glass, replace tired wipers and use suitable lighting as soon as the road becomes harder to read.
Water on the roadway can sharply reduce grip.
If the vehicle feels light or responds less clearly, reduce speed progressively and avoid sudden inputs.
Adapt your driving for greater safety.
Rain calls for more anticipation: leave room, make your intentions clear and postpone a journey if conditions become dangerous.
Lights in good condition are essential to see and be seen at night.
Insufficient or poorly aimed lighting can hide danger or disturb other road users. Correct faults before night driving.
Good vision reduces risk and visual fatigue.
Clean glass, correctly adjusted mirrors and glare management improve road reading.
Night driving requires more concentration.
If fatigue appears, the right action is to stop somewhere safe. Reactions slow before the driver fully notices.
At night, distances and contrasts are harder to judge.
Reducing speed gives you more reaction time when obstacles become harder to perceive.
Effective braking is essential over long distances.
Before a long journey, visible wear is not enough: also measure pressure according to the vehicle recommendations.
See and be seen, everywhere and in all conditions.
A long journey multiplies contexts: rain, dust, night or dense traffic. Visibility must stay consistent.
A properly loaded vehicle keeps better road holding.
Distribute the load, secure heavy objects and avoid blocking rear visibility.
A rested driver drives more safely.
Prepare the driver too: breaks, hydration, useful documents and a clear route reduce surprises.
