The Georgia Safely Council of
fers motorists the following lips for
safe driving:

responsibility for driving the others
home safely.
• Allow plenty of travel lime,
and don't speed, even if you're be
hind schedule. It's belter to arrive
late than not at all.
• Use the "two-second rule" to
judge safe following distances.
