Safety

Check visibility and tires before storms, plan official alternate routes, and know when to delay travel or stop instead of attempting a crossing.

Introduce a new driver to this vehicle's controls, warnings, maintenance responsibilities, and assistance plan before regular use.

Combine clean glass and working lamps with conservative speed, glare control, and a rested driver; stop when the available view is inadequate.

Use the time change to check exterior lamps and each driver's light controls, without standing behind a vehicle that could move.

Evaluate placement, attachment, cable routing, and distractions while parked, and check both vehicle restrictions and local mounting rules.
