conditions. Please take as much time as

necessary. DO NOT RUSH. Speed kills.

3. 3. Always be very careful with speeding and give yourself enough time to get to where you need to be.
4. 4. Keep a safe

Following distance, leave plenty of room between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of your truck, and also beside your truck when possible.
