In the event of a traffic accident, keep in mind that "the car pulls over, the person evacuates, and the police is called" to avoid secondary accidents.

　　Driving through rural areas and encountering roads with sharp curves and steep slopes, long downhill slopes, waterfronts and cliffs, etc., drive cautiously, do not speed on the curved slopes, change lanes to overtake, and pass the intersection without signal control, be civilized and courteous,” One slow, two sees three passages.”

In summer, the weather is changeable, in case of extreme bad weather such as heavy rain, slow down to prevent accidental injuries caused by vehicles slipping and falling on rainy days.
