Circle-check plan: a safe idea for all drivers
The Canada Safety Council promotes a simple Circle-Check plan for drivers. Before trips, drivers circle the vehicle to inspect tires, glass, lights, brakes, and overall condition, especially on frosty mornings. Even one person can verify brake lights by backing toward a wall, catching reflected light. Little checks reduce risk of accidents and fatalities.
