Drive Safely – Cayman Compass

We’ve lost too many people on the roads this year, so Drive carefully this summer.

Stop for any emergency vehicle. (It could be your family or a friend they are trying to help!)
Do not drink and drive
Always use your turn signal
Stay in the left lane unless you are overtaking. (Did you know that the RIGHT LANE is the PASSAGE LANE?)
Do not block “speeders”. It’s not your job and you don’t know if they have a medical emergency and are on their way to the hospital
Make sure your lights are in good working order, are clean, and adjusted correctly to give you the most visibility without blinding oncoming traffic.
Do not use “high bream” when cars and pedestrians are nearby. Your road is brighter, but you blind others
Don’t speed up
Put your phone away when driving; Distracted driving is dangerous driving
Don’t eat or drive (this can be as distracting as drunk driving)
Do not wear makeup while traveling
Use the roundabout safely – know your lane, give way, use your signal, be careful and share the road
Bicycles and electric scooters are among the alternative modes of transport. Be aware of them. If you are riding, be aware that you are harder to see.
Keep your distance – tailgating is dangerous
Make sure your tires have the correct pressure
Slow down in the rain as the roads can get extremely slippery
Slow down when passing construction and landscaping crews
Center turn lanes are not intended for overtaking
Be courteous to other drivers and lead by example
Do not take certain medications and drive
Don’t get high and drive
