Information Sheet 2.1-1

Correct check- up procedures of engine system is
performed

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET you must be able to know:

1. Perform correct check- up procedures of engine system.
2. Tire inflation pressures are checked according to manufacturer’s

specification
3. Braking system and fluid level properly checked.
4. Engine belt tension and other necessary units are checked in

accordance with manual.
5. Lighting system is checked according to established procedures

HOW TO CHECK YOUR CAR BEFORE ROAD TRIP

STEP 1. CHANGE THE ENGINE OIL OF YOUR CAR

Check your oil level and the date that you may need an oil change. If it is almost
that time to change your oil, then do it. A long trip can give more stress on your
vehicle.

ATTENTION; adding extra oil will not work as changing the oil. Because the
sludge from your old oil cannot be cleared. If possible, the oil filter can also be
changed at the same time

STEP 2. CHECK THE FLUIDS OF YOUR CAR.

Make sure to check the various fluid levels in your car and make sure they are all
topped off, including the oil, coolant, windscreen wash levels and brake fluids.
This is an efficient way to avoid unnecessary breakdowns that could lead to
possible accidents.

STEP 3. CHECK AIR PRESSURE OF YOUR CAR TIRES

As we all know, tires are your contact with the road, which means that if tire
checks are neglected, severe on- road consequences may follow. The number

marked on the tires can contain. If this capacity is exceeded, it may cause a tire
blowout. On the contrary, low tire pressure may lead to wasted fuel and hotter
tires. To insert the perfect amount of air pressure into your tires, use
gauge(available from auto stores) and an air hose ( at the gas station). This will
make sure that every tire is safe and can be change during your journey.

STEP 4: CHECK THETIRE WEAR BY USING TREAD GAUGE

Apart from air pressure, checking whether your tires can last the whole journey is
also important. Ensure the tread is 1/16th” or 1.6mm and if the gauge shows
less than 2/32”, it is time to use a new tire for the journey. The worn-out tires
may blow out during long trips.

STEP 5. CHECK THE CAR’S AIR FILTER

The car’s performance and efficiency will be improved if the supply of clean air to
the engine is plentiful. Also, do not forget the cabin filter since the air is not
fresh inside the car ifthe cabin filter is worn- out.

STEP 6. MAKE SURE ALL CAR LIGHTS AND SIGNALS ARE WORKING.

It is important to make sure all the signals are functional to avoid the accidents.
Ask for another persons hand to finish this check. Sit in the car and turn on all
the lights and signals and ask him or her if the lights are functioning properly.
Spare bulbs can also be prepared during your trip just in case. ( at least one for
each light, including headlights, indicators, reverse lights and tail lights).

STEP 7. CHECK BATTERY IN YOUR CAR.

If the battery has not been changed for many years, check weather it can work well
or not. If the sound of your starter is sluggish, it may indicate corrosion or
dying battery. Go change it as soon as possible.

STEP 8. MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE ALL AUTO EMERGENCY
EQUIPMENT AND THEY CAN WORK FUNCTIONALLY.

Emergency equipment includes, a cell phone, spare tire and emergency tools ( like
flashlights and screwdrivers). Also, make sure that you know the specific road
rules in countries and areas you head to. For example, if travelling to EU
country, you should bring a reflective warning triangle, which is mandatory
according to their laws.

STEP 9. WASH YOUR CAR.

Give your machinery buddy a fresh shower before the trip. This is for two reasons.
Cleaning car windows is important for good visibility while driving and allows
you to check the conditions of wider blades before your journey.

STEP 10. GIVE YOUR CAR A TEST RIDE.

Have a test ride on your local road to check the sounds, feel the shakes and watch
for the signs around you. The moaning from the wheels may indicate a bad
wheel and a worn CV joint the squeal from the brake may point to warped
rotors and worn pads, a soft brake pedal may mean worn pads and lacking fluid
levels. Do not think everything in your car is good just because you drive it
every day. Give your buddy a test and make sure it is actually all right. For
most people, a long trip can always spent with their families.

5 Characteristics of a Defensive Driver

Defensive driving does not require a high degree of special training. The
characteristics of a defensive driver are the same characteristics that apply
to many aspects of our lives. Let’s look at the five most important
requirements for defensive driving.

1. KNOWLEDGE Defensive drivers take time to educate themselves about
safe driving techniques. They know how to recognize hazards and avoid
collisions. They know the traffic laws in their area. This knowledge helps
them know how to act correctly and quickly in traffic situations. They also
know how to properly maintain their vehicles in a safe operating condition.

2. ALERTNESS Defensive drivers are alert, both to traffic conditions and to
how their own mental and physical conditions may affect their driving.
They pay attention to the traffic situation to the front, sides and rear,
glancing in rear- and side view mirrors many times a minute. They give all
their attention to the task of driving.

3. FORESIGHT Defensive drivers know that their worst enemy is the
unexpected. They never assume the other driver will do the right thing. They
anticipate hazards by scanning the road to size up the traffic situation as far
ahead as possible. In this way they are able to prepare for hazards rather than
simply react to them. They practice long-range foresight by keeping their
vehicles well-maintained, by checking them before driving, and by always
wearing a safety belt.

4. JUDGMENT Good drivers use clear thinking and knowledge to make
decisions wisely and quickly. They maintain control of their behavior,
resisting the temptation to make risky maneuvers to get somewhere faster or
to outmaneuver other drivers. They pass only when it is safe, and always
look for the safest, rather than the speediest, alternatives in any traffic
situation. They are courteous, even when other drivers are not.

5. SKILL Defensive drivers develop the skills necessary to operate a vehicle
properly and safely. They know the safe and legal way to make turns,
change gears, brake and pass. They can “listen” to their cars for signs of
engine trouble, and they can perform simple emergency repairs, such as
changing tires.

You don’t have to have lightning fast reflexes or unusual mental

and physical abilities to be a defensive driver. Defensive driving

is simply a matter of clear thinking, education and a safe attitude
on the road.

THE DRIVER’S PHYSICAL CONDITION

It is not enough to have a vehicle in good running condition to ensure
safety in driving. As a driver you must be physically, emotionally and
mentally fit to operate your vehicle on the road. This is vital to safe driving.

HAVE A CHECK ON ONE’S SELF

VISION- A driver must see quickly, clearly and accurately, seeing too late makes
decisions come too late. Ninety percent of the decisions made while driving are based
on what the driver see. If eyes do not see properly. It can be corrected by using
corrective lenses.

The different senses of your body can affect your driving, such as your

SENSE OF SMELL- By smelling, you can tell the presence of gas that may be coming
out of your car. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning may result to drowsiness,
headaches ,nausea, or metal dullness that impair your driving ability. Check your
engine and exhaust system if they are in top condition.

SENSE OF HEARING- A driver who has impaired hearing may not hear important
sound like police vehicles, sirens of fire engines, and horns of other drivers who wish to
pass. The use of hearing aids overcome this defect.

SENSE OF TOUCH- Proper coordination of hand and feet helps in controlling the
vehicle while in motion. Sensitivity to the important parts of the car such as brakes,
steering system, accelerator, lights and signals through your sense of touch enable you
to determine any incoming failure that may surprise you and the other driver to an
emergency.

EMOTIONS- Emotions affects driving performance. Failure to control emotions may
lead to driving errors.

Vehicle information: A vehicle should be properly equipped and
must always be in good condition for safe driving. No one can
legally drive a vehicle that may be a hazard to any person and
property. Just like its operator, it needs regular clean up and check
up.

1. Underneath parts. Check tie rod. Low tire pressure may cause tire
wear and tear pressure. Always equipped vehicle with spare tire.
Tires with worn out tread will slide more easily on wet pavement
and may blow out without warning.

2. Outside parts. Have clean rearview mirrors to see at least 200ft.
behind. Windows must be clean and are free of obstruction. Check
vehicle lights if they are all working such tail lights, turn lights, stop
lights, license plate and parking lights. Check wipers if they operate
properly to clear the windshield. Check mufflers to prevent
excessive noise and smoke

3. Inside parts. Engine tune up as part of the tune up, spark plugs,
distributor points, condenser, and air cleaner must be replaced,
carburetor must be cleaned periodically.

BATTERY- It must be kept in good condition. Add distilled water
if the level is low.
SAFETY DEVICES- Check devices such as fuses and circuit
brake.
RADIATOR- Check radiator fluid level before starting the engine.
BRAKES FOOT- Brakes and parking brakes must be firm enough
to stop.
OTHERS- Check the temperature gauge and hose connections
brake fluid, and master cylinder.
Be sure to check the type of gasoline/ oil suited to your vehicle

4. On the car seat, check horn if it can be heard from a distance. A
defective steering wheel, clutch pedals, and shift gears need serious
attention. Turn the ignition if lights and gauges register. The car’s
gauge warns the driver if something is going wrong.
Finding a competent and dependable mechanic is important to a
driver for proper maintenance and prevention of car problems
before they become critical. Defensive driving is often defined as
preventing crashes before they occur. It is the responsibility of the
driver to keep this car in good running condition for happy and
smooth driving.

Your car won’t start with a dead battery. If your battery dies in the
middle of driving, you’ll get stuck on the side of the road. You know how
dangerous that is.

Before you get in your car, make sure your battery has a strong charge,
clean terminals, and proper cable-to-terminal connection.

Car batteries typically last for three to four years. Replace yours if it’s
almost near the end of its service life.

Lights

Fully functioning auto lights are a safety must-have for nighttime
driving. However, their bulbs burn out or get defective over time. This is
why you have to inspect your car’s lights regularly.

Test your headlights, turn signals, brake lights, reverse lights, and tail
lights in the garage. The light beam should reflect on the wall. To
confirm if the lights are working properly, ask someone to stand in front
and then behind the car as you operate the lights.

Check also your lights for dirt, cracks, and breakage. If you spot any,
have your lights cleaned or fixed.

Oil

Your car needs oil to lubricate all engine components. Too little oil is
bad for your engine—it can cause wear and tear on its moving parts.
When your vehicle runs out of oil, your engine will stop working, and
you’ll be dealing with expensive repair bills.
Check your engine’s oil level and color. When the oil is below the
minimum level, it’s time to refill. Look also for leaks, as they’re a sign
that your car is quickly losing oil.

Water

Overheating is every motorist’s worst nightmare. A simple check of the
water in your radiator will save you from that road disaster.
It also helps to have several one-liter bottles of water in your trunk, just
in case your car overheats while you’re driving and you need to put
water in the radiator to cool the engine down.

Brake

Faulty brakes are a disaster waiting to happen. Lower your chance of
meeting a road accident—ensure that your brake system is working
properly before you take your car out of the garage.

Push the brake pedal all the way to the floor. It shouldn’t feel spongy
and have little to no resistance. Otherwise, it isn’t safe to drive when the
brakes are weak.

Air

Are your tires properly inflated? Keep the right tire pressure to prevent
accidents and decreased fuel economy.
Tires, regardless if they’re old or new, lose air over time. This problem
isn’t easy to detect with the naked eye—you’ll need to use a tire
pressure gauge. Check the tires also for nails and other sharp objects
that puncture them.

Gas

Especially during long drives, a full gas tank is important. Imagine how
troublesome it would be if you run out of fuel while you’re stuck in
traffic or driving along the road where a gas station is nowhere in sight.

Trainer

So don’t forget to check your fuel level through the fuel gauge before you
take your car out for a drive.

Engine

It’s better to detect an engine problem before you drive off rather than
deal with it in the middle of the road.
Check for leaks that indicate an engine problem. Also, start the engine
and listen to its sound. If you hear pinging, tapping, knocking, or any
weird noise, better have a mechanic check your engine.

Driving with worn-out tires can lead to a fatal accident. So before you
leave for a road trip, spend a few minutes to check your tires for bulges,
bumps, tears, and other signs of damage.

To check your tire tread depth, insert a coin into the tire’s grooves. If
you can see much of the coin’s outer band, that means the grooves are
already shallow, and you need new tires soon.

Self

Human error is the leading cause of road accidents in Metro Manila. A
report from the Metro Manila Accident Recording and Analysis System
cites fatigue, sleepiness, drunkenness, and medical problems like
asthma and dizziness as examples.

Are you physically and emotionally fit to drive today? Check yourself! If
you’re sick, dizzy, tired, sleepy, or drunk, you better let somebody else
take over the steering wheel.

Driving under extreme emotional stress is also dangerous because
you’ll lose concentration on the road. So avoid driving when you’re
emotional.

Also, check your documents before you hit the road. Your driver’s
license, LTO registration papers, and proof of car insurance should be
within reach when you get pulled over on your road trip.

Information sheet L02.2-1
Move or re-position selected vehicle

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: AFTER READING THIS INFORMATION

SHEET THE TRAINEES MUST BE ABLE TO:

 Move or re-positioning the selected vehicle

 Identify the General Responsibilities

Positioning is an important part of safe driving, both in helping to show
other road-users what you are about to do, and in providing you with the
best visibility.
Positioning in traffic

The way you position the car can help to supplement the information

given by the direction indicators as to the way you intend to go.
However, in towns and other dense traffic situations, it is not always

possible to place the car exactly where you'd like - it may be necessary
to move away from the ideal position to make room for other traffic so

that you avoid causing a jam.

In normal driving you should aim to occupy the middle of your lane, so
that you are clear of the gutter but not so far over to the centre of the
road that oncoming drivers become nervous.

However, you may need to modify this position and move further to the
right if there are cyclists or pedestrians on the left, or move to the left if
long or wide vehicles need more room.

Other vehicles

Because of the relatively small size and easy manoeuvrability of a car,
you can position yourself roughly where you want. But some other
road-users are not so lucky — wide, long or tall vehicles often have only
one choice of position to get round an obstruction.

So be ready for articulated vehicles to prepare for a corner by swinging in
the opposite direction to which they wish to turn; expect high-sided
vehicles such as buses to appear in the middle of the road under narrow
bridges.

Winding roads

On open, winding roads, you usually have a lot more choice as to your
road position than in towns which have many more road markings and
generally less space. This is just as well, because country roads are often
potholed at their edges. As you are likely to be travelling faster than in
town, standing water can become a problem - you need room to avoid
both these hazards.

One useful technique to give extra visibility on twisty roads is to `position
for an early view', so that you can see oncoming vehicles as early as
possible. This means moving the car - assuming you have space - over to
a position which allows you to see further around the corner.

On right-hand bends, move the car as far over to the left as you can: on
left-hand bends, move over to hug the centre marking, but be ready to
move left again if another vehicle appears from the other direction to give
it plenty of room.

Junctions

The direction you intend to go from a junction should dictate the position
you adopt.

Position Vehicle Revised By: 1st Revision - 06/29, 2020
Lea Liberty A. Wangag
Trainer

Even if there is only one lane's width at a junction, you can adopt a
position to either the left or the right depending on which way you intend
to turn, while still remaining in lane. A slight turn of the wheels in the
required direction also helps to make your intentions extra clear.

When turning from a main road at a junction, similar techniques can be
adopted on the approach. When turning left you need to be as far in to
the kerb as you can without risking clipping the corner of the pavement
with the rear wheels.

On right turns, signal your intentions early and take up a right-hand
position on the approach. Stay close to the centre of the road while you
wait for a gap to turn through, so that other drivers have room to pass on
your left.

Motorways

Much of the congestion on today's motorways is caused by drivers who
insist on driving in the middle and right-hand lanes, even when the rest
of the road is comparatively clear. What happens is that other, faster
traffic comes up behind and cannot get past, leading to bunching. When
tempers become frayed, an even more dangerous situation sometimes
occurs—some drivers will overtake on the inside.

When the traffic density on a motorway is really severe, there is often
less congestion in the middle and left-hand lanes, which frequently fare
better when the next traffic jam occurs. So it is good advice not just to
take up position in the queue in the third lane.

The rule is that the third lane is for overtaking; not for fast cruising, and
by keeping out of it you have a much better chance of not being involved
in a motorway pile-up.

Distance

In congested conditions it is very difficult to maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front. Yet it is important that you do so because this
distance can prevent accidents.

A good rule of thumb, and one which works at any speed, is to always be
two seconds behind the car in front— more in poor conditions_

large vehicles before overtaking so that you maximize your field of vision
and can see further down the road to check for oncoming vehicles.

High and long
vehicles sometimes have to adopt alternative positions to negotiate
hazards. Be ready for buses in the middle of the road under narrow
bridges.
Roundabouts

Positioning for roundabouts is much the same as for junctions - the
approach helps signal your intentions.

When intending either to turn left or to go straight on, approach in the
left-hand lane and stay in the outside lane of the roundabout there is
usually room for two cars to travel here side-by-side. When you are going
any further than the second exit of the roundabout, approach in the
right-hand lane and drive around the inside.

ROAD POSITION & LANE DISCIPLINE

Where you position your car on the road is dictated by the road and
traffic conditions you are experiencing. On your driving test you will need
to keep a safe position at all times.

In normal circumstances you should position your car in the centre of
your half of the road - see image below.

You should avoid driving too close to the kerb, as the road surface here is
more uneven. If you accidentally clip the kerb you may lose control of the
car. However, you may need to move closer to the kerb to:

 make space for oncoming traffic through a narrow gap
 let another vehicle overtake you
 let a motorcycle pass in congested traffic
 increase your vision & safety when approaching a right-hand bend

You will need to move to the right of your lane when:

 making a right-hand turn
 the pavement is busy with pedestrians
 when overtaking a cycle or other road user.

When passing parked vehicles, if possible you should leave enough room
for a car door to open without you hitting it, about a metre. When
passing a row of parked cars don't weave in and out between them. You
should maintain a steady, straight course. When changing lanes or road
position you must:

 use the MSM/PSL routine
 plan ahead and make sure you move into the correct lane in good

time
 use signals if necessary

One-Way Roads

When you enter a one-way street you should position your car according
to whether you intend to go ahead, turn left or turn right.

 When turning left, keep to the left-hand lane
 When turning right, keep to the right-hand lane
 When going straight ahead let the road markings guide you. If

there are no lane markings then you will usually need to select the
left-hand lane.

Lane Discipline

Always keep within the road markings indicating your lane unless you
are changing lanes or direction.

When changing lanes:

 look well ahead and try to anticipate early your need to change
lanes

 use the MSM/PSL routine
 signal in good time
 when safe to do so move into the lane

You must never:

 weave from lane to lane
 straddle two lanes
 change lanes suddenly

Lane markings inform and guide traffic. When approaching a junction
you should look out for relevant road markings and respond to them as
needed. For a full picture list of road lane markings.

Lane Discipline At Junctions

Where there are two lanes, or room for two lanes that are not marked,
unless road markings or signs show otherwise, when intending to:

 turn left - keep to the left-hand lane
 follow the road ahead - keep to the left-hand lane
 turn right - move to the right-hand lane in good time.

Where there are three lanes, unless road signs and markings show
otherwise, when intending to:

 turn left - keep to the left-hand lane
 follow the road ahead - keep to the left-hand or middle lane
 turn right - move to the right-hand lane in good time.

Two-Lane Junctions

Where there are two or more lanes marked for the direction you wish to
take, (see the image on the right-hand side) choose the most convenient
one. To do this you need to know where you should be positioned at the
next junction.

If you don't know which lane you need to take, road signs and lane
markings leading to the junction should be able to give you the correct
guidance.

Unless you need the right lane at the next junction it is normally better to
select the left lane. This will avoid you having to change lanes after you
turn. If you select the right-hand lane for the turn, check carefully to the
left after the turn to make sure there is no one in your blind area before
returning to the left lane.

Changing Lanes in heavy Traffic

Look and plan well ahead, reading the signs and markings. This will help
you get into the correct lane in good time. If you do find yourself in the
wrong lane in heavy traffic, avoid trying to change lanes quickly. Use
MSPSL and try to make eye contact with a driver already in the lane you

wish to move into. When you are sure the other driver is letting you in,
move over gradually and acknowledge the driver who let you move in.
Before you move, however, check your side mirrors for cyclists and
motorcyclists driving between the lanes.

Road Position When Stationary

When stationary, such as when stuck in a traffic jam, use the 'Tyres and
Tarmac' rule:

Always stop far enough behind the vehicle in front that you can see
their tyres touching the the road and 1 metre of tarmac.

This space leaves room for you to comfortably pull out and pass should
the vehicle in front break down. It also leaves you room to move out of the
way if an emergency vehicle needs to pass.

Other rules you must observe:

 Never stop so that you block access to a side road or business
entrance.

 If you stop alongside a parked car, allow room for the driver to
open their door.

 When in a traffic jam, never stop on a pedestrian crossing.
 When you park, never block access to driveways or side roads.
 Do not park opposite bus stops unless there is plenty of room for

vehicles to pass between you and a bus waiting at the stop.
 Never park too close to a vehicle displaying a disabled badge - the

occupants may need room to put a wheelchair in the boot.

GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES

The driver of a vehicle is responsible for the safe
operation and movement of the vehicle. Driver will avoid
backing whenever possible. Where backing is
unavoidable, spotters or traffic cones shall be used.
When vehicles must negotiate forward turns with
restrictive side clearances and where height clearances
are uncertain, a spotter or traffic cones shall also be
used.

The operator shall get out of the vehicle and make a complete
360- degree walk around survey of the vehicle to determine if any
obstructions and potential hazards are present in the proposed
path of travel. Clear the area of people and objects if possible. A
check shall also be performed to ensure overhead and side
clearances are adequate

Obtain guidance from a spotter to position/back the
vehicle. Make sure the spotter is aware of all obstacles
identified during the initial “walk-around” survey. The
operator will discuss the positioning/backing plan with
the spotter before proceeding. The
communication/warning process will be agreed upon and
understood prior to positioning/backing.
Positioning/backing shall not proceed unless the spotter
is visible to the operator and the spotter has a clear view of
both the vehicle and obstacle(s). (If these conditions
cannot be met, an additional spotter may be required.)
The Driver shall stop the vehicle immediately prior to losing sight
or losing sight of the spotter, reposition the spotter, and then
continue with cautious positioning/backing to the desired
location only after the spotter is repositioned in a visible location.
The operator shall stop immediately if an emergency
“stop” signal is received from anyone in the area.
If no spotter is available the operator shall place traffic
cones a
safe distance between the vehicle and identified obstacle(s). The
Driver shall not proceed with positioning/backing unless the
traffic cones are visible to the operator.

The Driver shall stop the vehicle immediately prior
to losing sight of the traffic cones, reposition the
cones, and then continue with cautious
positioning/backing to the desired location. • If
there is any dispute between the operator and
spotter during the positioning/backing operation
Render assistance to guide an operator in
positioning/backing a vehicle when requested by
the operator.
While giving guidance in positioning/backing a
vehicle, stand on the ground clearly in the driver's
line of site. Spotters must stand far enough behind

or in front of the vehicle to observe the
positioning/backing path and any obstructions,
and to allow for sufficient stopping distance in an
emergency. Spotters shall not be positioned
between the vehicle direction of travel and the
obstacle. Spotters shall stay clear of the vehicle’s
path and avoid walking backward.
Establish and maintain eye contact with the driver
and remain in clear view of the driver at all times.

Spotters shall refrain from walking backwards and
or moving back and forth behind the moving
vehicle.
Use distinct and deliberate signals. (i.e. Industry
Recommended Standards)
Immediately signal the driver to stop if any person
or object enters the vehicles intended path of travel.
Signal the driver to stop if the spotter must change
positions. The spotter should then reposition and
when ready, signal the driver to continue.
Use hand signals to communicate to the operator
positioning/backing a vehicle. Do not rely on voice
communication for this purpose.

Driving a Vehicle

When driving a vehicle in the site the following points should be
considered when preparing vehicle rules.

1. All vehicles driven within the site should use dipped headlights at
all times.

2. Ensure that the area around the vehicle is clear before moving
away or altering direction. Where reasonably practicable, large
vehicles must never be turned using full steering lock from a
parked position. Any area where the vehicle may manoeuvre
must first be checked and must be clear. Where necessary the
driver must exit the cab to check that the area is clear before
moving off.

3. Drive with due care and attention and at a speed that is
appropriate to the prevailing ground, weather and visibility
conditions. Obey local speed limits where applicable.

4. A safe distance must be maintained from the vehicle in front so
that emergency action can be taken. As a practical rule, vehicles

must maintain a minimum of 3 large truck lengths (approx. 30
metres) away from the vehicle in front and further in poor
conditions. Particular care should be taken on haul roads that
have been newly sprayed with water for dust suppression

purposes.
5. Vehicles will normally be driven on the left-hand side of the road

unless specific instructions are issued or local rules implemented
to the contrary.
6. Loaded vehicles always have priority over empty vehicles.
7. Light vehicles must always give way to heavy vehicles and not
enter heavy vehicle areas without permission from supervisors. A
safe distance must always be kept from heavy vehicles.
8. Light vehicles should not travel along areas of reduced visibility
on the off sides of dump trucks without advance communication
with the dump truck operator.
9. When vehicles of similar size and capacity are sharing a haul road
and there is a need to give way, the vehicle travelling uphill has
priority.

10. Vehicle operators must give way to traffic coming from the right
at junctions.

11. Only trucks for loading or tipping purposes may enter the swing
radius of an excavator or manoeuvring zone of a dozer or loading
shovel. Pedestrians and other vehicles must not enter the area

unless granted permission by the Supervisor or other designated
person and the plant is stationary with the bucket, blade, ripper
or other raised equipment grounded.
12. Broken down or stranded vehicles must be reported immediately
to a supervisor who must assess the situation, organise vehicle
recovery procedures or arrange for the area to be cordoned off by
hazard cones or other suitable means, such as a physical barrier,
if appropriate.
13. On no account should a vehicle be driven within any cordoned

off areas.
14. With the exception of authorised vehicles that have been fitted

with suitable safety devices, road going vehicles must be escorted
while being driven within the quarry working area.
15. Coasting out of gear is forbidden in all circumstances.
16. Overtaking manoeuvres must only be done when safe to do so
and with the full acknowledgement of the operators in front and

to the rear. Signals, radio communication and visual contact
must be used as appropriate. Overtaking must not be attempted
where there is not enough road width to do so safely or on a short
road, ramp or blind corner or in wet and slippery or poor visibility
conditions.

17. Vehicle operators must keep their cabs clean and tidy, store
loose and personal items securely and ensure there are no
obstructions to visibility aids, windows, controls, gauges,
warning lights etc. Vehicles will be driven with the doors closed at

all times.
18. Vehicle operators must remain alert at all times to pedestrian

activities which will be kept to a minimum in the quarry.
Operators who are unsure about the location of a pedestrian or
light vehicle should stop their vehicle immediately. Particular

care should be taken during reversing manoeuvres and at
maintenance and parking areas.

19. Vehicles must never enter a pedestrian only zone. Pedestrians
must never enter a “No Pedestrian Area.”

20. Pedestrian activities must be kept to a minimum and vehicle
operators must remain in their cabs wherever possible. When
leaving the cab of a vehicle at any time a vehicle operator becomes
a pedestrian and will be required to wear a hard hat, high
visibility waistcoat/jacket and safety boots.

21. Pedestrians must remain in full view of vehicle operators and
must communicate with vehicle operators to confirm their

presence. Always check – never assume that you have been seen.
22. Vehicle operators must immediately contact a site supervisor in

the event of any breakdowns, emergencies or any other

unplanned event.

ANSWER KEY 2.2.2

1. All vehicles driven within the site should use dipped headlights at
all times.

2. Ensure that the area around the vehicle is clear before moving
away or altering direction. Where reasonably practicable, large
vehicles must never be turned using full steering lock from a
parked position. Any area where the vehicle may manoeuvre
must first be checked and must be clear. Where necessary the
driver must exit the cab to check that the area is clear before
moving off.

3. Drive with due care and attention and at a speed that is
appropriate to the prevailing ground, weather and visibility
conditions. Obey local speed limits where applicable.

4. A safe distance must be maintained from the vehicle in front so
that emergency action can be taken. As a practical rule, vehicles
must maintain a minimum of 3 large truck lengths (approx. 30
metres) away from the vehicle in front and further in poor
conditions. Particular care should be taken on haul roads that
have been newly sprayed with water for dust suppression
purposes.

5. Vehicles will normally be driven on the left-hand side of the road
unless specific instructions are issued or local rules implemented
to the contrary.

6. Loaded vehicles always have priority over empty vehicles.
7. Light vehicles must always give way to heavy vehicles and not

enter heavy vehicle areas without permission from supervisors. A
safe distance must always be kept from heavy vehicles.
8. Light vehicles should not travel along areas of reduced visibility
on the off sides of dump trucks without advance communication
with the dump truck operator.
9. When vehicles of similar size and capacity are sharing a haul road
and there is a need to give way, the vehicle travelling uphill has
priority.
10. Vehicle operators must give way to traffic coming from the right
at junctions.

PARKING HEADED UPHILL

When parking headed up hill, turn front wheels from curb and let your vehicle roll back
few inches until the rear of the front wheel gently touches the curb. Then set the parking
brake. If there is no curb, turn the wheels toward the side of the road so the car will not
roll away from the center of the road if the brakes fail.

PARKING HEADED DOWNHILL

When parking headed downhill, turn front wheels into the curb or toward the side of the
road. When parking on a sloping driveway, turn the wheels so that the car will not roll
into the street if the brakes fail always set parking brakes. Leave the vehicle in gear

THINGS TO CONSIDER IN BACKING A CAR

1. When backing around a corner to the right or out from a driveway, check
first for traffic and pedestrian.

2. Turn body to the right and put right arm over the back of the seat. Look at
the back windows as well as the rear and front of the vehicle.

3. While backing stay at the right side as much as possible.
4. During all maneuvers make quick traffic checks to the front and sides then

continue looking back until the car stopped
5. Do not join the traffic readily. Make quick checks over the left and right

shoulder and look through the mirror or rear window. Check speed with the
other vehicles travelling in the same direction.
6. Don’t back up far. Welcome assistance from companions inside the car

NIGHT POSITIONING/BACKING - Signals will be the same.

The spotter will assure that the spotlights on rear of equipment are turned on
before allowing vehicle to be backed. A flashlight may be carried or
reflective material may be worn, but at no time will it be directed toward
mirror.

SIGNALS -When it’s necessary to move a vehicle it’s important that

everyone understand exactly what is being done. There should be no confusion
about the hand signals to be used. The following hand signals should be used.
