DRIVING SAFETY GUIDELINES

• PREP LIKE A PRO

Do safety checks(is the can on fire? If so, replace it).
Make your cas as visible and audible as possible,
so you can be found in case of a crash. Posible
modifucations include a musical horn, neon lights
and a mounted flare cannon. Bring adequate supplies,
such as spare tyres, food and a CD with Steppenwolf's 'Born to Be Wild'


• DON'T DIE (BY FALLING ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL)

Stay awake by playing eye-spy with yourself.
"I spy with my little eye, a bush Another bush.
ANd a slightly bigger bush."
Though don't stop "spying" the road too!

• DON'T STOP FOR HITCH-HIKERS OR PEOPLE
WHO LOOK LIKE THEY ARE IN TROUBLE

Many movies take a higly sinister turn when the lead
character picks up a hitch-hiker, who invariably
turns out to be a homicidal maniac with a
dismembered body part or lethal weapon in his (or her)
knapsack. That's not even considering the potentially
spooky twist. Play it safe, don't stop for even
the most attractive travellers

• DONT TXT

Resisit the urge to ext while driving. It can
increase the distance it takes you to stop the can
by up to 21 metres

• KEEP YOUR TUMMY WELL-FUELLED

Use the heat from your car's radiator to cook food
(wrapped in aluminium foil) while on a long drive.
Good ingredients include chicken, beef, and potatoes.
Bad choices include live lobster and whole lamb carcasses

• MINIMIZE CRASH DAMAGE

In event of a collision, go back in time and make sure
you've done the following:

A. Stow anything that ca become a dangerous projectile like
books, CD's in the glove campartment
B. Ensure that your seat headrest has been adjusted to be level
with your head. The less distanse you head to headrest,
the lower your risk of whiplash and injury
C.Become just chubby enough. A study in U.S. found that
obese men were more likely tobe injured in a collision,
but moderately overweight men were cushioned from the blows

• STAY HYDRATED 

Avoid driving distraction: construct a hands-free
drink dispenser, like this "beer helmet". Only use beer on arrival
