“The letter D comes next. No, it doesn’t. The letter Y comes next. Y is you. The thing that will cause a crash is more than likely to be a person. A driver. So, although we’re checking the vehicle for safety, we got to consider ourselves as well.
So, consider yourself. Are you sick? Are you ill? Are you taking any medicines that make you feel a bit drowsy? Have you got any injury? Have you broken your leg or twisted your arm or something like that? So, check that you’re alright. Are you under stress? Have you done a long day or, worse, night of work and are you coming home or going somewhere very tired?
All of these are going to impact on your ability to make good safe decisions in your driving. And the bad side of that was, if that doesn’t happen, we’re in a collision, a near miss, or a crash with injuries and possibly fatalities.
So, check that you are oaky. So that’s FLOW E R, then the letter Y for you, then the letter D at the end.”
