Consider the math:

A train, weighing hundreds of tonnes, can travel up to a hundred and sixty kilometres per hour.

It takes the length of eighteen football fields to stop.

How can your one-tonne vehicle stay out of its way?

Slow down in poor visibility.

Make sure you can see and hear it.

And always be prepared to stop.

Travel smart.
