In addition to being skillful, a good driver must also be patient, considerate and courteous. He/She must have a sense of responsibility for the safety of other road users and the ability to concentrate, anticipate and react appropriately while driving.  \n2 Safe driving calls for total awareness of what other road users are doing and the ability to “communicate” with them. The correct attitude towards driving will make the road a safer and more pleasant place for pedestrians and motorists alike.  \n3 During the initial stages of learning. It is essential that learner drivers cultivate the right qualities and learn the right techniques. Mistakes which are repeated will become habits which cannot be easily corrected.  \nTRAFFIC ACCIDENTS  \n4 Traffic accidents cause suffering, hardship and loss of lives. The motor vehicle, if not handled correctly, is potentially a lethal machine. Therefore, it must be driven with the awareness of the dangers that it can pose to life and limb.  \n5 Driving is a chain process involving perception, judgement and reaction. Since most accidents are due to poor perception and poor judgement on the part of drivers, accidents can thus be easily avoided if driv","cbCailookqRKIr45","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailookqRKIr45","pdf",5703734,118,"English","# INTRODUCTION\n## The Safe Driver\n## Traffic Accidents\n## Systematic Learning\n# OPERATION OF VEHICLE CONTROLS\n## Names And Functions of Controls\n## Automatic Transmission\n## Selection And Control Of Drive\n# BASIC DRIVING TECHNIQUES\n## Before Driving\n## Moving Off And Stopping\n## Changing Gears\n## Negotiating Bends\n# DRIVING IN TRAFFIC\n## Safe Driving Technique (Defensive Driving Technique)\n## Interaction With Other Road Users\n## Emergencies","[{\"question\":\"What qualities define a safe driver in this handbook?\",\"answer\":\"A good driver is not only skillful but is also safe, patient, considerate, courteous, and responsible for other road users’ safety.
