The 10 Max-Achtzig Rules - Come Home Safe
The 10 Max-Achtzig Rules Short, simple, and direct for drivers You're driving with 40 tonnes of responsibility. These ten rules help you arrive safely: Drive only when fit and well-rested. If you get tired, take a break. Immediately. Don't let yourself get distracted. Phone away. Eyes on the road. Keep enough distance. Distance gives you time to react and brake. Look far ahead. Always anticipate traffic jams, roadworks, and sudden hazards. Slow down in good time. Less speed means less impact force and a better chance of survival. Use your breaks for real recovery. Never make up lost time on the road. No alcohol and no drugs. Even medication can impair your ability to drive. Know your assistance systems. Use them, don't switch them off carelessly — but never rely on them blindly. Drive considerately and fairly. Watch out for others and warn of hazards early. Follow the rules. Drive defensively — especially near roadworks and on routes prone to congestion. The short memory aid for every trip Start fit. Phone away. Keep distance. Look far ahead. Ease off the speed. Use the tech. Get home safe. Recommendation before departure Take ten seconds before every tour and ask yourself: Am I fit? Is the phone away? Are my assistance systems active? Am I driving without time pressure? If any answer is no, fix it before you leave. Because the most important task of every tour is: Deliver the goods safely — and get home safe yourself.
