Driver’s ABC
Everybody wants to feel safe when driving. That’s why it’s so important to abide by the basic rules of driving on motorways. This applies to all of us. So each of us should be familiar with them. Learn your Driver’s ABC and take care of safety – yours, your passengers’, as well as everybody else on the road.
Do not stop your vehicle at any place in the
motorway except Rest and Service Areas; you must also not drive back along the entire motorway section.
