In compliance with the rules of the Highway Code, all users must drive responsibly and carefully, thus contributing to the quality of the service. In particular:

• Travel on the right lane; Use the left lane for overtaking only;
• Always keep a safe distance; keep your headlights on;
• In the event of a breakdown, never stop in a tunnel; if possible, continue outside and drive to the first available lay-by, service area or parking space;
• In case of drowsiness, stop at the first available lay-by, service area or parking space;
• Limit mobile phone use while driving, especially in heavy traffic, adverse weather conditions and in all situations that require special attention;
• in the event of a punctured or broken wheel, DO NOT STOP along the road; reach the first lay-by instead, even with a flat tyre or damaged rim: better to damage a tyre than to risk an accident;
• While driving, do not search for objects in pockets, drawers, bags, or, worse still, do not attempt to retrieve anything dropped on the floor of the car: STOP at the first lay-by;
• Do not throw anything out of the window: it is not only forbidden, it is dangerous for the driver and those following you. And it also litters the roadway. There are special containers to be used in each emergency lay-by;
• Adjust your speed according to traffic, weather and visibility conditions.
