Answer
Outside the city, take into account animals on the road, poorly lit sections, fog, wind, and unexpected slowing of traffic. After rain, visibility and traction deteriorate. At night, the risk is higher: obstacles are noticed later, and help may be far away.
Do not drive after drinking alcohol or continue your journey when severely fatigued. Observe speed limits, keep a safe distance, and follow road signs, even if the road seems empty. Before a long trip, check the tyres, lights, fuel level, and forecast, and secure your phone rather than holding it in your hand.
If an animal appears on the road, slow down without making a sudden dangerous manoeuvre and switch on your hazard lights if you stop. Keep the contact details for your insurer and emergency services, and tell someone close to you your route and estimated arrival time.
