      Safe Driving for Life Series

      Ecosafe and economical driving

      Introduction

      What you can do

      Transport is an essential part of modern life, but we can’t ignore its environmental consequences – local, regional and global. There’s increasing public concern for the protection of our environment, with the result that many motor manufacturers are devoting more time, effort and resources to the development of environmentally friendly vehicles.

      But you, as a driver, can also help. If you follow the principles of ecosafe driving set out in the following pages, you’ll become a more environmentally friendly driver and

      your journeys will be more comfortable

      you could considerably reduce your fuel bills

      you could reduce those emissions that cause damage to the atmosphere.

      In addition, you’ll become a safer driver as you develop your planning, perception and anticipation skills to a high level.

      Try to drive in an ecosafe manner at all times, whether you’re driving for business or for pleasure. Fuel, like all forms of power, costs money as well as having an impact on the environment. Minimising the fuel or power you use is always important, both for the planet and for your pocket.

      However, although it’s good to save fuel, you mustn’t compromise your own safety or that of other road users when attempting to do so. Road safety is more important than saving fuel. At all times you should be prepared to adapt to changing conditions and it may be that you have to sacrifice fuel-saving for safety.
