Seatbelts must be worn at all times. Done up tightly.
Other cars - Be careful of other cars, watch out for them and give clear hand signals if you are going to slow down. Pull off and brake early when safe to do so. Do not brake suddenly when cars are following close behind. If you need to slow down, give hand signal and pull out of the way of others.
