• Discuss in your team speed wrong overtaking
• If you were the truck driver - How could you
  have prevented this accident ?- Would you have
  thought someone would overtake you when your
  are turning left ?
• If you were the driver of the overtaking car -
  How could you have prevented this accident ?-
  Why, do you think, did he not do these things ?
• If you were the passenger of the overtaking car
  - How could you have prevented this accident
  ?- Should you warn the driver not to speed or
  overtake when it is not allowed or safe ?

Discuss these learning points in your team.How
do I make driving Safe?- Speed - what if your
tyre blew? - are you really in control? what
if?- Tyres - pressure? - condition?
type?- Seatbelts - for all! - correctly
fitted (no slack, no folds)?- Turning left -
did you check your mirror? - did you turn your
head for the blind spot?- Overtaking -
allowed? safe? - never at or near a road
crossing!
