A momentary inattention to the front, such as picking up something in the car or being distracted by a mobile phone, can lead to an accident.

There are also cases in which we were unable to respond to an accident that occurred ahead, leading to a fatal accident.

Be conservative in speed and allow plenty of distance between vehicles to handle unexpected situations.

In addition, distraction due to tiredness or a momentary drowsiness may lead to an accident.
If you feel tired or sleepy, do not force yourself and refresh yourself in the service area.

Don't forget to wear seat belts and child seats in all seats and check the car beforehand.

We sincerely request a safe and secure drive.
