Vehicle Control
Safe operation of a heavy vehicle requires special skills in the following areas: • Accelerating.
• Steering.
• Reversing.
• Gear shifting.
• Braking.
Most of these skills are required in virtually every driving situation, whether it be turning, approaching an intersection, driving down a hill or along a freeway. Master these skills and you are on your way to becoming a good driver. Remember, whatever vehicle you drive, all its handling characteristics are affected by the load you carry, including passengers
What to Look For
In heavy vehicles you have the advantage of being higher, so you can see further down the road than the driver of a smaller vehicle. However, the height of your vehicle can also be a problem. Know how high your vehicle is and watch for low bridges, telephone and electricity wires, or any low over-hanging objects.
Traffic
Watch for cars entering the road in front, changing lanes or turning. Look for the indicators and brake lights of other vehicles or their unexpected movements. Keep a special watch for pedestrians crossing the road ahead. Be prepared to adjust your speed to avoid unexpected hazards.
Road Conditions
Watch for curves, merging lanes, potholes, slippery surfaces and loose sand. Always try to be aware of the road surface conditions and adjust your driving technique according to the conditions
Check for Road Signs and Traffic Signals
If a traffic light has been green for a long time, slow down and prepare to stop in case it changes to amber, then red before you get to it. At some intersections in Dubai the green light will start flashing to warn you that it is about to change to amber. Prepare to stop as soon as you see this happening
Using Your Mirrors
Use all mirrors to check traffic beside and behind you. Glance in your mirrors often. When you are looking in a mirror, you are not looking ahead. Do not glance in mirrors for more than one second at a time. When you are travelling at 60 km/h, you will have travelled nearly 17 metres in one second. At 90 km/h, you will travel 25 metres in one second. So glance quickly at all mirrors and back at the road
