Do not trade comfort for safe control

Driver position must allow normal vehicle operation and visibility.

Breaks beat gadgets

No cushion or accessory replaces rest when fatigue builds.

Keep the cabin uncluttered

Loose items can interfere with pedals, controls or passengers.

Adjust before driving

Do not make distracting seat or device changes while the vehicle is moving.

General travel-planning information only. Drivers must follow licence restrictions, traffic laws and current road-authority directions. Do not continue driving when fatigued or when weather, closures or road conditions make the trip unsafe.
