Conclusion
• Driving is a privilege and a driver is responsible
for the safety of others as well as themselves.
There are controls implemented which minimise
risks but accidents still occur. Motorists need to
be informed on the dangers of various driving
conditions and learn how to safely manage these
conditions.
