The National Road Safety Committee and Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS) urge drivers to improve their driving habits. Here are some key tips to keep in mind: 1️⃣ Stay Alert: Always anticipate hazards and make proactive decisions to ensure safety for everyone on the road. 2️⃣ Maintain a Safe Distance: Keep at least two car lengths between you and the vehicle ahead. This provides enough space to react to sudden stops. 3️⃣ Wet Roads: When it’s raining, increase your following distance to account for slippery conditions. 4️⃣ Indicate Turns: Always signal your turns and lane changes. This helps other drivers understand your intentions and prevents unnecessary collisions. Learn more at gov.ky/roadsafety #RoadSafety #SafeDriving #DriveSmart
