Speed limits have nothing to do with safety; they are licenses for
the govt to tax you on exceeding the arbitrary limit. So... no speed
limits on German Autobahns, or anywhere out-of-town in Australia's
Northern Territory.

>Never drive while intoxicated
>Never drive uninsured
>Always wear your seat belt
>Take a defensive driving course

In my experience these concentrate on "speed kills" crap.

>Check/Maintain your brakes regularly
>Check your tires and tire pressures regularly

I would add:
Don't drive with soft dampers
Don't drive a camper (unstable)
Always indicate well ahead at turns, parking and lane-changes
