This is one of the most dangerous mistakes. <br />A Taxi Cab's policy is very simple. Keep TWO, that's 2, cabs lengths per 10 miles of <br />speed in bad weather. Professional drivers don't take chances!!!! Did you know that <br />at 35 mph you are traveling 72 feet per second. You see brake lights in front of you. <br />You're fast in your reaction time. It takes you 1/2 second to apply the brake. You are <br />30 feet behind the car in front of you. Your car just traveled 36 feet in 1/2 second. <br />Your engine is now S feet into the trunk of the car in front of you. BACK OFF! <br />Save your life, your passenger's life and save our cab; save injuries to others and to <br />yourself. SAFETY FIRST! <br />LITTLE THINGS MEAN A LOT. Especially when it comes to paying attention. <br />Driving a cab is a full-time job. Keep your eyes on your job. Your job while moving <br />in traffic is watching the road and other vehicles. Not reading your map book, looking <br />at your passengers, writing on your trip sheet or any other action which takes your <br />eyes off your only job -- watching the road, other cars, and being in control of your <br />cab. <br />LASTLY, REMEMBER.. <br />You are a PROFESSIONAL DRIVER, driving in a world of amateurs. <br />Much can be said about defensive driving but only you can save your life and prevent <br />harm to your passengers. Either you control the cab and the situation or you are <br />bound to become an accident waiting to happen. Take control, be in charge and drive <br />to survive. A professional driver plans his route rather than just speeding to a <br />location. Speed is no substitute for planning. In the last four years, the top money <br />earners in A Taxi Cab have not received a single speeding violation. Plan your route, <br />don't speed. <br />A Taxi Cab REWARDS safe drivers through Driver of the Year Program <br />FIVE KEYS OF SAFE DRIVING <br />1) AIM HIGH IN STEERING <br />a)Plan Ahead <br />b)Need to see ahead for a IS second lead time.
