DRIVING YOUR CAR
143
Remember that fog also means the
tarmac is wet and therefore manoeu-
vres of all kinds are more difficult and
stopping distances are longer:
– keep a good distance from the cars
in front of you;
– when possible, avoid spurts of
speed or sudden deceleration;
– do not overtake other vehicles if
you can help it;
– if you are forced to stop your ve-
hicle (breakdown, limited visibility,
etc.), first try to stop off the road.
Then turn on the hazard lights and, if
possible, the dipped headlights;
– rhythmically sound the horn if you
realise another vehicle is approaching.DRIVING IN
THE MOUNTAINS
The main suggestions are the fol-
lowing:
– when driving downhill use the en-
gine brake by engaging a low gear so
as not to overheat the brakes;
– under no circumstances should you
drive downhill with the engine off or
with the vehicle in neutral, let alone
with the ignition key out;
– drive at moderate speed without
“cutting” corners;
– remember that overtaking while
going uphill is slower and therefore re-
quires more clear road. If you are be-
ing overtaken while driving uphill,
make it easier for the other vehicle
to pass. DRIVING IN FOG
If the fog is thick, do not start out on
a journey unless you absolutely have to.
If driving in mist, blanket fog or when
there is the danger of fog patches:
– keep your speed down;
– turn on the dipped headlights, rear
fog lights and front fog lights, if fitted,
even during the day. Do not drive with
your headlights at full-beam.
IMPORTANTOn stretches of
road with good visibility, switch off
your rear foglights; the brightness of
these lights could annoy the people
travelling in the cars behind.

IN AN EMERGENCY
182
IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS
– It is important to keep calm.
– If you are not directly involved in
the accident, stop at least ten meters
away from the accident.
– If you are on a motorway do not
obstruct the emergency lane with
your car.
– Turn off the engine and turn on the
hazard lights.
– At night, illuminate the scene of the
accident with your headlights.
– Act carefully, you must not risk be-
ing run over.
– Mark the accident by putting the
red triangle at the regulatory distance
from the car where it can be clearly
seen.
– Call for rescue making the infor-
mation you give as accurate as you can.
One the motorway use the special col-
umn-mounted emergency phones.– In pile-ups on the motorway, par-
ticularly when visibility is bad, there is
a high risk of other vehicles running in-
to those already stopped. Get out of
the car immediately and take refuge
behind the guard-rail.
– Remove the ignition keys from the
vehicles involved.
– If you can smell petrol or other
chemicals, do not smoke and make
sure all cigarettes are extinguished.
– Use a fire extinguisher, blanket, sand
or earth to put out fires no matter how
small they are. Never use water.
– If the doors are blocked, do not at-
tempt to smash the windscreen to get
out of the car. It is made of layered
glass and is very hard. Side and rear
window are much more easily broken.IF ANYONE IS INJURED
– Never leave the injured person
alone. The obligation to provide as-
sistance exists even for those not di-
rectly involved in the accident.
– Do not congregate around the in-
jured person.
– Reassure the injured person that
help is on its way and will arrive soon.
Stay close by to calm him/her down in
case of panic.
– Unfasten or cut seat belts holding
injured parties.
– Do not give an injured person any-
thing to drink.
– Do not move an injured person un-
less the following situations arise.
– Pull the injured person from the
car only if it risks catching fire, it is
sinking in water or is likely to fall over
a cliff or similar. Do not pull his/her
arms or legs, do not bend the head
and, as far as possible, keep the body
horizontal.
