Welcome to the module in Driving NC II. This module contains training materials and activities for you to
complete.
The unit of competency “DRIVING LIGHT VEHICLE" contains knowledge, skills and attitudes required for
a trainer course. It is one of the specialized modules in Driving NC II.
You are required to go through a series of learning activities in order to complete each learning
outcome of the module. In each learning outcome are Information Sheets and Resources Sheets
(Reference Materials for further reading to help you better understand the required activities). Follow
these activities on your own and answer the self-check at the end of each learning outcome. You may
remove a blank answer sheet at the end of each module ( or get one from your facilitator/trainer) to
write your answers for each self-check. If you have questions, don‟t hesitate to ask your facilitator for
assistance.
You may already have some or most of the knowledge and skills covered in this learner's guide
because you have: been working for some time already completed training in this area.
If you can demonstrate to your trainer that you are competent in a particular skill or skills, talk to
him/her about having them formally recognized so you don't have to do the same training again. If you
have a qualification or Certificate of Competency from previous trainings, show it to your trainer. If the
skills you acquired are still current and relevant to the unit/s of competency they may become part of
the evidence you can present for RPL. If you are not sure about the currency of your skills, discuss this
with your trainer.
This module was prepared to help you achieve the required competency in DRIVING LIGHT
VEHICLE. This will be the source of information for you to acquire knowledge and skills in this particular
trade independently and at your own pace, with minimum supervision or help from your instructor.
Talk to your trainer and agree on how you will both organize the Training of this unit. Read through
the module carefully. It is divided into sections, which cover all the skills, and knowledge you need to
successfully complete this module. Work through all the information and complete the activities in
each section. Read information sheets and complete the self-check. Suggested references are
included to supplement the materials provided in this module.
Most probably your trainer will also be your supervisor or manager. He/she is there to
support you and show you the correct way to do things. Your trainer will tell you about the
important things you need to consider when you are completing activities and it is important that
you listen and take notes.
You will be given plenty of opportunity to ask questions and practice on the job. Make sure you
practice your new skills during regular work shifts. This way you will improve both your speed and
memory and also your confidence.
Talk to more experience workmates and ask for their guidance.
Use the self-check questions at the end of each section to test your own progress. When you are
ready, ask your trainer to watch you perform the activities outlined in this module.

I. Vehicle Lightning
The inside of thee car has a variety of interior lights. These include:
1. Instrument-panel lights
2. Warning and indicator lights
3. Courtesy and dome lights—turn on when a door opens. Courtesy and dome lights are all
powered from the fuse panel. They will operate regardless of the position of thee ignition key or
headlamp switch.
B. Light Bulbs
Lightning is provided by various sizes and types of light bulbs. When an electric current flows
through a fine wire or filament in the bulb, the filament gets hot and emits visible light. The bulb
may fit into a socket which forms part of a lamp. The bulb may fit into a socket which forms part
of a lamp. Some bulbs have two filaments. This allows a single bulb to provide light in two circuits
for different purposes. The various bulbs and lighting circuits usually receive power from the fuse
panel, ignition switch, or headlamp switch.
C. Headlamps
It is the most important lamps for the driver. When switch on, they provide light ahead of the
vehicle. The tungsten filament turns white-hot when connected to the battery and gives out light.
The light is reflected forward by the curved reflector. Then the light passes through the lens
which arranges it in a pattern to light the road ahead. The sealed beam headlamp is replaced as a
unit.
Many vehicles have halogen headlamps. These emit a whiter and brighter light than other
sealed-beam lights. The halogen headlamp has a smaller inner bulb filled with halogen gas
F. Turn-Signal Lights
The turn signals permit the driver to signal an intention to turn right or left. The system includes:
1. A lamp at each front and rear corner of the vehicle.
2. A lever-operated turn-signal switch in the steering column.
3. A flasher which is an automatic-reset circuit breaker.
4. Left- and right- turn indicator lights in the instrument panel.
The turn-signal lever is moved up for right turn and down for a left turn. The turn-signal switch
then completes the circuits to the proper lamps current flows from the battery through the
flasher to the lamps. In the flasher, the current passes through a thermostatic blade. The
resulting heat causes the thermostatic blade to bend, opening thee flasher contacts. The blade
quickly cools and contacts close. This produces a pulsating voltage that causes the turn-signal
lights to flash.
After completing the turn, the turn movement the steering wheel automatically cancels the turn
signal. The lever moves back to its neutral position, opening the circuit.
A bulb failure or poor ground may cause the turn signals to work in one direction but not the
other. If no flashing occurs in either direction, check for a blown fuse or defective flasher.
G. Fiber-optic Lighting
Some cars have as many as 80 light bulbs. Each bulb can burn out and fail. Some components,
such as instrument panels, have many bulbs close together. However, there is little room behind
the instrument panel for the bulbs, their sockets, and thee connecting wiring. One solution is the
use of printed circuits. Another is the use of fiber-optic cables.
Fiber-optic cables are made of one or more transparent glass or plastic fibers bundled together
parallel to one another. Each cable formed by the fiber or bundle can conduct light, even around
bends and corners. As light starts down thee fiber, the light keeps reflecting off the internal
surfaces of the fiber with little loss. When the light comes out the other end, it is almost as strong
as when it entered.
There is what we call a fiber-optic lamp monitor system. Fiber-optic cables run from the lamps to
a lamp monitor on top of each front fender. When the headlamps are on, the lamp monitors
show that the lights are working. If a bulb burns out, its monitor also goes out. This warns the
driver that the lamp has failed.
Another way to use fiber-optics is to run cables from a central light source to various outlets
where light is needed. This allows only one bulb to provide light at many places. A special arc-
discharge bulb provides thee light. It is smaller and lasts longer than a halogen bulb. Similar to a
fluorescent or neon bulb, there is no filament to burn out. The light appears at each lamp or
outlet only when needed. This system would prevent the failure of many individual bulbs.
In most cars, a separate switch controls each lighting circuit. However, an electronic-control
module or lamp module can control the complete vehicle lighting system. When the driver
operates any switch that controls a lamp circuit, the switch sends an input signal to tee lamp
module. It then turns the desired lamps on or off. The lamp module provides the intermittent
operation of the hazard-warning and turn-signal lights. No flasher is needed.
In most lighting system a switch supplies voltage to lamps that are permanently grounded. With
computer-controlled lighting, many circuits operate differently. Voltage is always supplied and a
switch or relay provides the lamp ground. The various lights switches are grouped on the left side
of the steering column in the left switch pod.
J. Headlamp Aiming
Headlamps must be aimed correctly so the driver can see at night and to prevent the blinding of
approaching drivers. One method is the use of an aiming screen. Park the car on a level floor, 25
feet (7.6 m) from the screen. Then the high beam and low beam can be checked.
Adjust the headlamps to provide the specified pattern. There are usually adjusted by turning
vertical-aim and horizontal-aim adjusting screws. An adapter mounts to the three aiming pads on
the headlamp. Some shops have an optical aimer. It does not touch the headlamp. When using a
headlamp aimer, follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions. Headlamp-aiming patterns
and adjustment are in the vehicle service manual.
Some vehicles have aiming devices built into the headlamp assembly. A bubble level indicates the
proper height (up-and-down) adjustment as the vertical aim adjusting screws are turned in and
C. Seat Belts
Seat Belts restrain the vehicle occupants if there is an accident. After entering the car, the driver
and passengers each fasten a lap or lap-and-shoulder belt. The belt then helps hold that person
in the seat during a collision or rollover. Inertia-sensitive retractors lock the belt in place when an
impact occurs.
A passive restraint provides protection without requiring any action by the driver or passenger.
Two types of passive restraints are air bags and motorized seat belts. These are front-seat
shoulder belts that move into position automatically. After entering the car and closing the door,
the driver turns on the ignition key. The electric motor then pulls a cable or tape connected to
the belt. The belt travels forward and out of the way when the door opens. In some cars with an
air bag on only the driver’s side, the seatbelt for the frontseat passenger automatically tightens in
a crash. This provides the passenger with additional protection.
C. Air bags
Air bags are also called supplemental inflatable restraints (SIR). They are balloon-type devices
that inflate automatically to protect the driver (and frontpassenger in some vehicles) if a front-
D. Air-Bag Replacement
An air bag inflates only once. Then remove the deployed air bag and clean the inside of thee
vehicle. This is necessary because of the powder emitted as the air bag deploys. Install a new air
bag module. Follow the air-bag service procedures in the vehicle service manual.
Caution:
Be careful when working on vehicles with air bags. You could accidentally trigger thee system. A
deploying air bag could injure you if you are not belted in the normal seated position.
Some cars have a hybrid instrument cluster .It inc l udes both analog gauges and electronic
displays, along with other indicating devices and warning lights. This may illuminate a symbol or a
message such as DOOR AJAR or TAIL LAMP OUT.
B. Head-up Display
Images containing driving information are projected onto the windshield. The information
includes displays of vehicle speed, turn-signal indicators, highbeam indicator, and low-fuel
warning. These images appear suspended in space near the front bumper. The driver’s eyes do
not need to move from the road or refocus to view this information.
Only certain information from the instrument panel appears in the head-up display. A warning
CHECK GAUGES messages appearing on the windshield alerts the driver that a gauge on the
instrument panel needs attention. Controls allow adjustment of the head-up display brightness
and vertical location in the windshield.
D. Speed-Control System
The cruise control or speed-control system helps the vehicle to automatically maintain a speed
selected by the driver. When set at any speed above about 225 mph [40 kmph], the driver’s foot
can be removed from the accelerator pedal. An actuator motor, vacuum servo then opens and
closes the throttle, as needed to maintain the speed. However, steep grades up or down may
cause vehicle speed to vary.
Tapping the clutch or brake pedal operates a switch that disengages the system. Touching the
RESUME button or switch causes the vehicle to return to the former speed setting. Depressing
thee accelerator pedal for passing does not affect the setting. Depressing the accelerator pedal
for passing does not affect the setting. When the pedal is released, the system returns the vehicle
to the preset speed. To disengage and turn off the speed-control system, move the OFF-ON
switch to OFF.
Some keyless entry systems can also be operated from up to 33 feet [10 m] by a small hand-held
transmitter. Pushing a button on the transmitter will lock all doors, unlock all doors, or open the
trunk. Another button— the PANIC button- acts as a theft deterrent or anti-theft device. Pushing
the panic button with the ignition of activates the horn and flashes the headlamps.
6. Electronic navigation systems display a map on the instrument panel which shows the
location of the vehicle on the road. The location point moves on the map as the vehicle travels on
the highway. It also shows the route to the destination. In some systems, a satellite orbiting in
space—22,000 miles [35,400] above the earth—pinpoints vehicle location.
7. Radar braking uses radar to sense how fast a vehicle is closing on the vehicle ahead. The
brakes apply automatically to slow the vehicle if necessary to maintain a safe distance. Someday
radar braking may be combined with throttle control into intelligent cruise control. This could
keep traffic moving at a preset speed while radar braking maintains safe intervals between
vehicles.

4. D
5. A
B. Turning Tools
1. Screwdrivers—Use the proper screwdriver to drive or turn screw. Screwdrivers are made in a
variety of sizes, shapes, and special purpose designs. The most common type has a single flat
blade for driving screws with slotted heads There are also Torx-head and Phillips-head screws.
Always select a screw driver of the proper types and size for the job. When using a single-blade
screwdriver, the blade should completely fill the screw slot. This helps prevent damage to the
screw head.
2.Wrenches—long-handled tool with fixed or adjustable jaws. You use a wrench to turn bolts, nuts,
and screws To work on both USC, and metric fasteners, you need both USC and metric wrenches.
A 3/8- to 1-inch USC set and a 6- to 119mm metric set will handle most jobs. You need these sizes
in sets of open-end, box, and combination wrenches.
a.Open-end wrench— usually has a jaw opening at a 15 degree angle to a handle.Turn the bolt or
nut as far as the space permits. Then flip the wrench over for further turning of the fastener.
An open-end wrench has a different size on each end. Make sure the wrench fits snugly against
the flats. These are the sides of a nut or bolt head. A loose fit may break or spring the jaws of the
wrench. Springing jaws spread apart and round off the corners of the hex. This makes use of the
proper wrench more difficult.
Careful:
Never use an open-end wrench to final-tighten a fastener or to free a frozen fastener. The jaws
may spread enough to allow thee wrench to slip. Use a box wrench or a socket wrench for these
jobs.
b.Box-wrench—opening surrounds or “boxes in” the nut or bolt head. An advantage is that the box
will seldom slip off. However, you must lift the box wrench completely off and then place it back
on for each swing. The wrenchhead is thin for use in tight places. The head usually sets at a 15-
degree angle to the body. This provides hand clearance for swinging the wrench.
The most common box wrench has 12 notches or “points” in the head. This allows turning the
fastener if the wrench can swing 30 degrees. A six-point box wrench holds better on a nut or bolt
but needs a greater swing. The box wrench has different size openings on each end.
c.Combination wrench— has a box on one end and an open end on the other. The two ends are
usually the same size. The box end is more convenient for breaking loose or final tightening a nut
or bolt. But you must lift the box completely free after each swing. The open end is more likely to
slip off. However, once the fastener is loose, the open end can turn it faster.
Careful:
Do not turn the flare nut without holding coupling nut. This will usually twist and break the metal
tube.
e.Adjustable wrench— an adjustable wrench (has a movable jaw that you adjust the fit nuts and
bolt heads of various sizes. Tighten thee jaws against the flats of the nut or bolt before applying a
turning force. Adjustable wrenches are normally used only when applying relatively light torque.
They are not always a strong as fixed jaw wrenches and may be damaged if excessive torque is
applied.
f. Socket wrenches—the most widely used tools. They are like box wrenches except that the head or
socket is detachable from the handle. You assemble the socket wrench you need from the socket
set in your toolbox.
1. SOCKET. The 12-point socket allows you to turn a bolt or nut in tight spots. However, if a
bolt head or nut has rounded corners or excessive resistance to turning, thee 120point
socket may slip. Use a six point socket for these. The eight point socket is for turning
square heads. These include drain plugs, fill plugs, and pipe plugs.
Deep sockets reach nuts on bolts or studs that are too long for the standard socket to
reach. You remove and install spark plugs with a spark-plug socket. This is a six-point deep
socket with a rubber insert. Thee insert holds the plug to prevent it from falling out of the
socket.
2. HANDLES. Figure 7-8 shows several handles. The ratchet handle has a mechanism that
permits free motion in one direction but lockup in the other. You select the direction for
lockup by moving the reversing lever Extensions of various lengths provide access to hard-
to- reach bolts or nuts. The universal joint allows you to turn a nut or bolt while holding
the driver at an angle. Adapters allow you to use a driver with a socket having a different
drive size. Also, various kinds and sizes of screw drivers, Torx drives, Allen wrenches, and
flare- nut wrenches will fit the drivers and adapters.
NOTE:
To work on variety of domestic and imported cars, you need both USC and metric socket
sets.
g. Torque wrench— Is basically a special handle for a socket. An indicator on the torque wrench
measures the torque or twisting force. This is the amount of force applied to a nut or bolt while
Dirty or damaged threads put a drag on the threads as the bolt or nut is tightened. This gives a
false reading on the torque wrench. It can also result in not enough tightening.
Many torque wrenches read in pound-feet 9lb-ft). some read in pound-inches (lb-in). Use these
where you need to accurately apply a small torque. Twelve pound-inches equals one-pound-foot.
The scale on metric torque wrenches is in kilogram-meters (kg-m), kilogramcentimeters (kg-cm), or
newton-meters (n-m). Newton- meters is the preferred unit. To convert from USC to newton-
meters, multiply pound-feet by 1.35.
C. Gripping tools
1.Pliers—Pliers are hand tools with a pair of adjustable pivoted jaws for cutting or gripping .There
are many styles and sizes of pliers. Combination slip-joint pliers may have cutting edges at the
back of the jaws for wire cutting. Tongueand-groove or groove-and-land pliers such as
Channellock pliers have the tongues or lands to different grooves changes the distance the jaws
can open. The jaws remain parallel at any setting.
Locking pliers such as Vise-Grip pliers (Figure 7-13) have locking jaws. This makes them useful as
pliers, wrenches, clamps, and small vises. Look the jaws by turning a screw in the end of the
handle. This adjusts the size of the opening. Closing the handles then locks the jaws into place. To
release the jaws, pull the release lever.
Careful:
Never use gripping pliers on hardened steel surfaces. This dulls the pliers’ teeth. Never use pliers on
nuts or bolt heads. The pliers may slip and round off the edges of the hex. Then a wrench or socket
will not fit on the fastener properly.
2.Pullers—remove parts assembled with an interference fit. This includes removing gears and hubs
from shafts, and bushings from bores or cylinder liner from engine blocks.
A puller set has many pieces that can fit together to form the puller needed for the job. There are
three basic types of pullers.
D. Cutting Tools
Caution:
Always wear eye protection when using a chisel. Never use a chisel with a mushroomed head.
When the hammer strikes the head, a piece could fly off. The flying metal could cut you or injure
an unprotected eye.
2.Hacksaw—is basically an adjustable metal frame that holds a steel saw blade .The blade is
replaceable and has from14 to 32 teeth per inch. Cutting occurs on the forward stroke as you push
the blade across the metal. The teeth act like tiny chisels and cut off fine shavings or chips.
Use a long steady forward stroke. Apply enough downward force so the teeth cut rather than
slide. Lift the down force on the return stroke. This helps prevent dulling the teeth. A light drag
may help clear chips from the teeth. Select a blade with the proper number teeth per inch for the
job. The teeth must be close enough so at least two teeth are cutting. Teeth that are too close
together clog and stop cutting. The hacksaw blade for general cutting has 18 teeth per inch.
3. Files— are used for cutting and shaping metal. They have many cutting edges or teeth.
When the cuts are far apart, there are only a few per inch. This is rough- or coarse-cut file. When
the cuts are close together, the file is a smooth or deadsmooth file. A single-cut file has a series of
sharp blades. A double-cut file has a second series cut at an angle to the first. This creates a series
of sharp teeth. Various sizes and cuts of round, half-round, flat, and triangular files are used during
automotive service work.
Always use a handle with a file. Tapping the end of the handle on the bench tightens the file in the
handle. Keep the file teeth clean with a file card. It has short stiff-wire bristles that remove chips
and dirt from the teeth.
They also align parts for the assembly. To remove a rivet, grind off the rivet head. Or cut it off with
a chisel.
Mark spots where holes are to be drilled with a center punch. The punch mark keeps the drill bit
centered as it starts cutting You can use the center punch to mark parts before they are
disassembled. Align the punch marks to reassemble the parts in the same position.
5.Twist drills (Drill bits)— are tools for making holes. The material being drilled determines the
preferred shape of the cutting edges that form the point. The grooves along the body carry the
chips out of the hole. A hand-held air or electric drill motor, or a drill press, drives the drill bit.
6. Taps and Dies— tap-and-die sets are for cutting USC and metric threads. Taps cut inside the
threads.
Dies cut outside threads on rods diestock holds the die. Chamfer or bevel the
rod end so the die starts easily. The basic procedure is the same for both taps
and dies. Apply cutting the lubricant to the surface. Th en begin thread cutting.
After every two turns, back off the tap or die and apply more lubricant.

ROAD SIGNS provide a very important role in traffic road rules and regulations, their enforcement and
control. Drivers must have the ability to understand, interpret and obey road signs correctly and
properly.
1. CAUTION SIGNS – use to convey messages that certain road conditions exist on a certain
stretch of the road or on street requiring the driver to be more attentive and be prepared for
such conditions. It is also use to convey the fact that if this precaution is not taken life and
property may be endangered.
These signs are usually triangular in shape and have a red colored border.
2. INSTRUCTIONS SIGNS – these signs require the driver not only to be more attentive as in
caution sign but require the driver to ACTUALLY PERFORM OR NOT PERFORM.
Example: STOP, DO NOT ENTER, NO U TURN etc... Non – compliance means that life and property
will definitely endangered.
3. DIRECTION SIGNS – these signs are modified signs which are actually gives SPECIAL OR
DIRECTIONAL INSTRUCTIONS for the driver to take.
4. INFORMATION SIGNS – these signs are designed to provide the driver with information that
he may or may NOT use but will assist him in one way or another.
Car/MC TRK/Bus
a. Open country roads with no blind corners
not closely bordered by habitations. 80 kph 50 kph
4. Respect the rights of other of other motorists. Be ready to yield the right way to him.
7. Slow down and exercise special care on cross roads, crossing, curves, hills, zigzag and bridges.
8. Overtake other cars of the left lane of a 2 lanes road, on the center lane of a 3 lane road. Be sure
the road up ahead is clear when overtaking.
10. Always drive with traffic stream. Test you self, if too many cars overtake you, you are driving too
slow, if you pass many cars, you are driving too fast.
11. Follow other cars at a safe distance. Allow at least one car length interval for every 15 km. speed.
If your speed is 30 km per hour, your distance from the vehicle in front of should be 2 cars or 12
meters etc. In short we should always keep our distance from the vehicle we are following. As we
increase our speed our distance to the vehicle to the vehicle we are following should be wider.
12. Stay on your own lane, at intersections, railroad crossing, hills and curves where you view is
obstructed.
13. Make right or left turn only at correct turning lanes, right turn from lane nearest to the curb; left
turn from the lane next to the center line to the left. Proceed to the turning lane from a
reasonable distance. Every time we make a turn either left or right, we should make a full stop at
the corner and slowly and with caution make the turn.
14. Signal you next move to the other driver. Also know how and when to give the proper signal. The
control for signal light is the lever just behind the steering wheel at the left side of the steering
column. Push the lever up and your right signal light (both the front and the rear yellow light at
the corner of your vehicle will be on) to show your intention that you are going to make a right
turn. Push the lever down and your left signal light will be on before making a left turn. If you
can’t remember which, just follow the direction of the steering wheel.
15. Always slow down at school zones, parks and play grounds. Children are the most dangerous
hazards on the roads.
17. Start from a parked position only if the way is clear and only after you have signaled you intention
and such signal is acknowledge by other motorist.
18. Dim your lights to oncoming vehicle. This is one rule of the road every motorist must observe
19. Vehicles on the road must have at least two brake systems, good windshield and wipers, lights
and good steering mechanism.
21. If there is an accident, stop to help the injured, go to or report to the nearest police station, see if
any injured needs your help.

DRIVING HAZARDS
A list of the most common accident driving hazards follows. A quick review of this list can very well help
build awareness and hopefully help the reader become alert and watchful for situations that can
potentially cause a car accident crash:
Better than 80% of all car accidents are caused by driver error, which is the leading cause of accidents.
Driver error compounded by bad road conditions also accounts for a high proportion of on-road
accidents.
Other causes of driving accident are poorly-maintained roads or malfunctioning traffic signals, jaywalking
pedestrians, poor car design, construction, signage and lighting issues..

Objective: After reading the information sheet, the trainee should be able to give
stress management when driving.
Road Rage: How to Manage Road Rage to Stay Healthier and Safe With more and more people in
the world and in the workforce, roads are becoming increasingly crowded. Inside our metal boxes,
we’re not always as polite as we would be to one another face-to-face, and when we’re all
frustrated with traffic, sometimes people make mistakes or pull impolite driving maneuvers,
People experiencing road rage may be face increased health risks that come from high levels of stress,
tension and anger. These episodes of acute stress may become chronic stress, which leads to many
negative health outcomes.
In addition to the toll stress takes on the "rager's" body, the increased risk of a car accident due to road
rage puts all drivers at risk.
By being a courteous and defensive driver, you can cut down the level of frustration you might cause
other drivers, doing your part in keeping road rage at bay. But if you yourself experience road rage, here
are some techniques you can use to stay calm in the car:
• Breathe: Breathing exercises can help you cleanse your body of stagnant air and stale energy,
getting your blood more oxygenated and, of course, releasing tension. Focusing on your breathing
brings your attention inward and makes frustrations seem more removed, without taking your
focus too far away from the road.
• Listen: Listen to music or audio books. Music can subtly color your experiences, adding an exciting
soundtrack to your commute. Audio books can supply you with a mild distraction that can make
your drive enjoyable enough that you find annoying drivers and bumper-to-bumper traffic less
frustrating.
• Relax: Practice Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) and Deep Muscle Relaxation (DMR). When
you’re frustrated, you store the tension in your body. These techniques will help you learn to
quickly release the tension you’re carrying, even as you sit in the car, which will help you feel
more physically and emotionally relaxed.
• Play: Use cognitive-behavioral interventions like Counting Idiots. Basically, if you accept that a
certain amount of people are going to make fools of themselves on the road, and decide to make
a game out of counting them, you can cut down on the stress you feel in response to their rude
maneuvers.
• Plan: Manage your time wisely. Often, when we’re frustrated on the road, it’s because we’re in a
hurry and can’t get there quickly enough because of traffic. Organizing your schedule so you can
leave earlier, and planning for traffic, can leave you feeling more relaxed because it really won’t
matter as much if the trip takes a few extra minutes.

Objective: After reading the information sheet, the trainee, should b e able to
enumerate fatigue management techniques .
Driver Fatigue
Just about everyone has experienced feelings of gro gginess while driving,
performing monotonous tasks or operating machinery. Ho wever, actual driver
fatigue , also known as drowsy driving , is a physiological and psychological
condition that can greatly affect driving judgment and a bilities. Driver fatigue not
only impacts alertness and response time but also increa ses the chances of being
involved in car accidents.
There are certain times of the day and night when our energy levels naturally dip. These circadian
rhythms are part of a normal sleep/wake cycle. In reaction to these dips, between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00
a.m. and 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m., drivers are more at risk for experiencing driver fatigue.
Effective driver fatigue management is essential. Here are some tips you can use to make sure you get
where you need to go safely.
If you or someone you love is feeling the physical and emotional effects of sleep deprivation. See a
physical or sleep specialist for professional diagnosis and treatment.

Enumeration
Instruction: Enumerate the following.
Objective: After reading the information sheet, the trainee should be able to identify a defensive Driver
A. Defensive Driving
These are some of the rules of defensive driving that can make driving a pleasure both for you and for the
rest the travellers on the road:
• If there is a speed limit on the road that you are travelling on, make sure that you observe the
limit. There is no fun in speeding along on a fast lane just because you think you are going to be late for
the meeting with your boss.
• Make sure you know all the traffic signs completely. You cannot claim ignorance of the rules,
when you make a mistake.
• Respect the laws of the land in which you travel. Of course, there are countries like Burma or
India, were rules are made, so that they can be broken as quickly as possible. Though the law tries to
enforce the rule in these places, corruption levels are so high that it is very easy to breeze through traffic
signals without stopping at a red light, because you know there will be a cop at the other end who would
let you go in return for a small bribe.
• Respect the other drivers on the road and remember that they also have a job to do. Nobody is
driving just for the heck of it. Most of us have a job to go to or a home to reach. Most of us are also in a
hurry to get to where we want to.
Nevertheless, it is better that we respect each other and the traffic rules as well so that driving is a more
pleasurable experience.
• Do not horn or keep honking just for the sake of honking. It is very irritating and unnerving to
have a driver honking behind you. Remember he is doing it because he is in a hurry. So, if you are in his
place, you might be tempted to do the same thing. Believe me; it does not help to keep honking. Traffic
will move at its own pace and no amount of honking is going to help.
Steps:
1. Relax. Take a deep breath if you stressed. Leave early enough that you can enjoy you r
trip rather than feeling anxious. It’s better to arrive a few minutes to your destination
than endanger yourself of others on the road.
2. Follow good driving practices. Watch for road signs and obey the speed limit. When we all
obey the laws, the road is much safer.
3. Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. You can’t push them out of the
way, so just slow down a little. Pass if you have a safe and legal opportunity to do so.
4. Use your turn sign signals several hundred feet ahead of your turn when you’re
on the highway
5. Respect others. Stop for pedestrian or bicyclist. Look for motorcyclist. Allow others to go
ahead of you. Allow others to maintain their speed when you enter a roadway or change
lanes.
6. Use your horn only when necessary. It’s not put on cars as a tool to “yell” at others. Use
the horn to signal others of your presence to avoid accidents.
7. Smile or wave at another driver. It makes their day and your day a little brighter.
ATTITUDE
A Defensive driver must develop and demonstrate an attitude that;
• Shows concerns for other road users
• Recognizes that other road users will make mistakes
• Knows no journey is so urgent that a safe speed can be maintained
• Driving is a skill which requires the application of good techniques
• Believes that safe driving requires an alert mind at all times
BEHAVIOR
An ideal defensive driver;
• Always clean a seatbelts
• Keeps within the advisory limit
• Constantly scans the road for potential hazard Signal intentions at all times
