If you drive on routes like this

• Slow down in unfamiliar conditions: every 1% of extra speed raises fatal-crash risk about 4%
• On viaducts and bridges, keep a larger following distance — there is no escape lane
• Never assume the other vehicle sees you at night or in rain — drive as if it doesn't
• Motorcyclists: a helmet is the single most effective protection against a fatal head injury
• Know the local emergency number before you travel — our emergency numbers directory covers every country
