[originaltext] If you are driving a car to work or to a seaside resort, safe

If you are driving a car to work or to a seaside resort, safety is always the top priority. Here are some of the tips for driving safely.
    First, drive carefully and slowly when pedestrians are about, particularly in crowded shopping streets. When you see a bus stop or near a parked mobile shop, watch out for pedestrians coming from behind parked or stopped vehicles, or from other places where you might not be able to see them. Three out of four pedestrians killed or seriously injured in traffic accidents are either under the age of 15 or over 60. The young and the elderly may not judge speeds very well, and may step into the road when you do not expect them. Give them plenty of time to cross the road. Also, stop and wait patiently for the blind or disabled people.
    Second, drive slowly near schools, and look out for children getting on or off school buses. Stop when signaled to do so by a school crossing patrol showing a Stop-Children sign. Be careful near a parked ice-cream van — children are more interested in ice-cream than in traffic.
    Finally, when coming to a zebra crossing, be ready to slow down or stop to let people cross. You must give way once they have stepped on to a crossing. Signal to other drivers that you mean to slow down or stop. Give yourself more time to slow down or stop on wet or icy roads. Remember, under no circumstances should you overtake other vehicles just before a zebra crossing.
