DRIVER’S CODE ETHICS

Learning Objectives:

After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:

 Identify Drivers conduct


 Abiding by all laws and regulations in the country in which you are driving.
 Maintaining your vehicle in a safe driving condition.
 Adhering to any license restrictions, including graduated licensing restrictions.

DRIVER CODE OF CONDUCT: JOURNEY


Plan journeys to prevent ‘wasted’ miles and to
utilize the safest roads – highways, for example, not
rural/country roads.

1.1 Allow extra time for road works, congestion


and bad weather conditions, as well as breaks. If
you are delayed do not speed to get to your
destination on time.

1.2 While driving during the day, do


everything you can to stay focused on your
driving and consider the following
suggestions:

Get enough rest the night before – at least


7½ hours or more is considered best
practice by the University of South
Australia, Center for Sleep Research.
Teenagers generally require more.
Check e-mails, texts or social media ONLY
when the vehicle is parked safely and
legally in accordance with local regulations.
If you have had a disagreement with a family member, partner or friend or someone
has said something to upset you refrain from driving until you are able to control
your emotions.

If another driver does something stupid, for example cuts in front of you …let it go!
Keep your family in mind – your goal is to return safely home each night!

1.3 Always remember the key principles of ‘Defensive Driving’ hazard recognition when you are
behind the wheel:

By OBSERVING what is happening around your vehicle you should be able to


position yourself in a safe place on the road, and be prepared to ANTICIPATE the
actions of other road users.
By ANTICIPATING the actions of other road users (as a result of effective observation),
you should be in a position where you are ready to take ACTION if necessary.
By taking ACTION when necessary (as the result of effective observation and
anticipation) you should be able to avoid many hazardous situations.

DRIVER CODE OF CONDUCT: DRIVER

GENERAL

1. Use your vehicle in accordance with the requirements of the country or


regional jurisdiction in which you are driving. This includes:
o Abiding by all laws and regulations in the country in which you are
driving.
o Maintaining your vehicle in a safe driving condition.
o Adhering to any license restrictions, including graduated licensing
restrictions.
o Adhering to any restrictions imposed by parents/ guardians.

2. You must have a valid driving license and


comply with local country regulations regarding
the carrying of or production of a valid vehicle
insurance certificate.
3. Show consideration at all times for passengers
and other road users including motorcyclists,
cyclists and pedestrians.
TIREDNESS

1. Avoid driving while tired. If you need to make a


long trip you should take breaks at least every
2 hours, and make every effort to stop driving
by midnight.

DRIVING NC II INSTITUTE AND Page 10
Developed By: ASSESSMENT
MERVIN BRAVO CENTER INC.
Revision No. 001
2. Take a break every two hours or sooner if you feel sleepy. Stop for at least 15
minutes and take a 10 minute snooze/nap if you feel sleepy. This is NOT a
substitute for a good night’s sleep. Only drive on if you feel alert after your nap.
3. Before any long journey you should consider all alternative transport e.g. train or
bus
4. Ensure that you always get a good night’s sleep before driving. Getting enough
sleep is essential to your safety and you should aim to get 7½ continuous hours
of sleep a night. Teenagers may require more – on average around 8½ hours.
5. If possible, do not drive between midnight and 6 am. This is the most dangerous
time of the day to drive and your body clock is in ‘sleep mode’

SAFE FOLLOWING DISTANCE

1. Maintain a safe distance in relation to your speed and surroundings between


your vehicle and the vehicle in front. In general your braking distance would be
equivalent to a 3 second gap in a crisis
2. In rain, snow or sandstorm conditions, increase your following distance to at
least 6 seconds and in ice and fog you should aim for a following distance of 12
seconds. In adverse weather conditions it can take you twice as long to stop,
spray from the vehicles in front of you will reduce your visibility and your tires
could lose their grip causing your vehicle to hydroplane.
3. When you are waiting in a line of vehicles at a red light/STOP sign or
intersection/junction, you should stop so you can see the tires of the vehicle in
front of you touching the road surface. This will provide enough space to get
around them if stalled or prevent a roll back collision.

SPEEDING

1. Stay within legally permitted speeds appropriate to road, traffic and weather
conditions. Only drive at a speed where you can STOP in the ‘distance you
can see to be clear’
2. When driving in towns/cities and built up areas, slow down and be alert for
pedestrians and children during school starting and leaving hours
3. On rural roads, slow down for curves and avoid passing.
4. Allow extra time in your journey for road works, congestion and adverse
weather conditions, as well as breaks. If delayed, never speed to get to your
destination on time. Stop somewhere safe and call ahead to inform of your
delay.

CELL/MOBILE PHONES

1. AVOID using a cell/mobile phone while driving. Although hands-free phones


may be permitted by law it is highly recommended that you do not use any
type of phone while driving to help avoid distraction
2. Do not send text messages, read or respond to e-mails or use social media
unless your vehicle is legally and safely parked
3. Never use a cell/mobile phone when refueling your vehicle. SOME research
has indicated a static discharge COULD set gasoline vapors alight

DISTRACTIONS

1. Do not eat, drink, or smoke while driving. Reaching for a sandwich, opening a
drink or lighting a cigarette will distract your attention from the road
2. Avoid in depth conversations with passengers, it is vital that you maintain your
concentration on the road ahead.
3. Avoid changing radio stations, programming Satellite Navigation/GPS
instructions or interacting with any other devices that might divert your
attention from the road ahead for more than 2 seconds.
4. If you carry a pet in your vehicle it must be appropriately secured or
contained in a suitable carrying cage in accordance with local regulation to
ensure the safety of the animals and the occupants of the vehicle.

ALCOHOL/DRUG USE AND IMPAIRED DRIVING

1. Never drive if you have consumed alcohol


or drugs as they may impair your ability to
drive. Remember that even over-the-
counter medicines can have side-effects
such as drowsiness. Always check the
label of over-the-counter and prescription
drugs.
2. The evening before you drive, do not
consume more than the legal limit of
alcohol as it may have an effect on your
ability to safely and legally drive the
following morning/day
3. Do not drive with a physical injury or prosthetic that may impair ability to safely
operate a vehicle.

EYESIGHT

1. In some jurisdictions, you must be able to read a number/license plate at 65


feet/20 meters and have a good field of vision (120 degrees) if you plan to drive
for work purposes. In all cases your eyesight should meet the minimum legal
requirement for country the in which you are driving.
2. Have your eyes tested in accordance with local regulations or as a minimum
every two years or sooner if you feel your vision has deteriorated.

STRESS

1. Never drive if you are highly stressed. This can affect your ability to concentrate
as well as the safety of yourself, passengers and other road users.
2. If another driver cuts in front of you and is
now driving slowly, remember, road rage
increases stress and could make you a
dangerous driver. To minimize this, relax,
put the incident behind you and pass the
slow moving vehicle when it is safe to do so.
3. In city and residential areas, pedestrians
and cyclists can cause increased tension
and stress when they trying to cross the
roads. Always give them the right of way
even if they are not on a designated
pedestrian crossing.

SEATBELTS

1. Always wear your seatbelt.


2. Ensure that all passengers wear their seatbelts whatever their age and
regardless of whether it is required by law in your country of operation.
3. Use child restraints – as required by law – for young children and babies.

HEAD RESTRAINTS

1. Ensure that your head restraint and those of your passengers are correctly
adjusted. The center of the back of your head should be in the center of the
headrest. Straighten your seat so that the head restraint is just behind your
head.

REVERSING/PARKING

1. You should avoid backing when possible. If you


make a wrong turning it is safer, for example, to
drive a short distance up a road to a suitable
turning point e.g. a road circle (roundabout)
rather than do a 3-point turn in the road.
2. In a parking lot try to choose a parking space
that allows you to pull through so you can drive
out forwards when leaving. If this is not an
option you should reverse/back into parking
spaces rather than out of them. There is less
chance of hitting a person or another vehicle.
3. If you are about to undertake a
backing/reversing maneuver and you are
unsure of exactly what is behind you, get out
of your vehicle and check before you back into
the space.

BLIND SPOTS/SCANNING

1. Before maneuvering always check your rear view and


side mirrors. Incorrectly adjusted mirrors do not and
cannot SCAN the whole area safely
2. All vehicles have four blind spots of a varying degree dependent on the size of your vehicle.
The smaller your vehicle the smaller your blind spots. Blind Spots exist to the FRONT,
REAR, LEFT and RIGHT.
3. Critical times to be checking your Blind Spots - Before a
Backing/Reversing Maneuver, Changing Lanes on a
Multi-Lane Highway or Making Right/Left Hand Turns

4. Continually ask yourself: 'WHAT CAN I SEE?', 'WHAT CAN'T I SEE?', and 'WHAT MIGHT I
REASONABLY EXPECT TO HAPPEN?'. You need to look at the 'far distance', the 'mid-distance'
and the 'foreground'. You need to know what is happening to the 'side' and to the 'rear'. SCAN the
whole environment, looking at each area in turn.

PERSONAL SECURITY

1. Try to park away from places that could hide potential attackers. If possible
avoid unattended parking lots and those situated away from main roads where
the streets are likely to be quieter with less lighting.
2. When parking at night choose a well lit area. You will be able to see your vehicle
clearly and have a better chance of seeing anyone who is loitering nearby or
hiding under your vehicle.
3. Drive with your doors locked and windows shut in areas with a tendency for
stop/start driving – most car hi-jackings are
opportunistic in nature.
4. In the unlikely event of being involved in a
‘car hi-jacking’, YOU MUST follow the
‘carjackers’ instructions to the letter. It could
mean the difference between life and death.
Don’t try to be a hero!
5. Do not pick up hitchhikers.

INCIDENT MANAGEMENT

1. You must report any crashes or incidents as


required by local law.
2. If you are the first to arrive at the scene of a
collision, your first priority is your OWN
safety. Pull off the road to a safe place to
notify the police.
3. Never attend to people who are bleeding
without the appropriate training and
personal protective equipment. Without
appropriate training you may do more
harm than good.

Traffic Control and Enforcement
Traffic control and enforcement of various traffic
and parking regulations forms an important part of the
patrol officer’s function at the National Institutes of
Health (NIH). Officers are tasked with ensuring the
safe movement of pedestrians, vehicles, and bicycles
on the NIH campus. To allow for the safe movement of
traffic on the NIH campus, officers take appropriate
enforcement action to help keep the NIH community in
compliance with appropriate traffic laws. Officers also
enforce a wide variety of parking regulations, which are
needed to ensure that available parking on the NIH campus is kept under
control. Parking enforcement assists with regulating each of the different parking
areas (i.e. red, carpool, general, etc.), helping keep parking available for permit holders
of each of the different type of parking permits issued by the parking office.

TRAFFIC CONTROL

Officers are often called upon to help


control pedestrian and vehicular traffic during
peak traffic times, during special events, or at
accident scenes. When oversize deliveries
arrive at the campus, officers may need to
escort these deliveries through the campus to
allow the safe passage of these items (i.e., large
air conditioning units, prefabricated concrete
building materials, etc.) to their destination. As
the NIH improves the campus through the
renovation of existing buildings or the
construction of additions to them, officers will
often assist with the safe and efficient flow of
traffic around these construction sites. During special events, such as the visit of the
President of the United States to the NIH campus, officers control pedestrian and
vehicular traffic along the travel route, and will escort the motorcade while it is on the
NIH campus. Officers work in conjunction with other Federal, State, and local police
agencies during these events. Officers also assist with traffic control during other
major annual events, such as the NIH Institute Relay Race.

Traffic Enforcement

To ensure the safety of NIH employees,


contractors, and the visiting public, officers
are authorized to enforce traffic laws and
regulations on NIH property. Officers receive
training at the Federal Law Enforcement
Training Center (FLETC) as well as
additional on-the-job training in conducting
traffic enforcement. Officers enforce traffic
laws through one of two primary sources:
regulations listed under the Code of Federal
Regulations (45 CFR) and the Maryland
Transportation Article. The question often
arises, “why are officers enforcing Maryland
laws on Federal property?” The main reason
officers issue citations for moving violations
using the Maryland Transportation Article is that the Code of Federal Regulations does
not have a separate charge for many of the violations listed under the Maryland
Article.
Most of the regulations listed under 45 CFR pertain to parking enforcement rather
than moving violations. The authority to assimilate the laws of the surrounding state
in which the NIH campus is located comes from the Assimilative Crimes Act (18 USC
13). Simply put, if there is not an existing Federal regulation for a particular violation,
officers at NIH are allowed to use the state equivalent. In any case, there are literally
thousands of pedestrians and vehicles moving around the campus each day, making
traffic enforcement a vital part of ensuring the safety of everyone at NIH. Individuals
who encounter an officer (or officers) during a traffic enforcement situation should
remain calm, polite, and should provide all necessary information to the officer (or
officers) as requested. Compliance with NIH Police officers during what can be a
stressful situation for a driver is greatly appreciated and will often expedite the process
for all involved. Safety is the number one concern.

Parking Enforcement

Although parking enforcement at the campus can be a sensitive issue to some, it is an


important part of the duties of the Police to enforce parking regulations. There are
dozens of different parking areas involving a variety of different types of parking
permits that are permitted for use in these areas. There are also numerous fire lanes
and other restricted areas where parking is completely prohibited at all times that need
to be kept clear. This allows the NIH Fire Department to access buildings quickly and
efficiently when responding to emergency calls, or allows other traffic to safely move

through an area without the
impediment of unauthorized vehicles causing unlawful
interference to traffic flow.
Enforcement often includes checking areas that are
assigned for use by specific categories of parking permit
holders, such as carpool permits, red permits, P-2
patient care permits, designated handicapped parking
spaces, etc. In order to maintain the ability of these
special categories of permit holders to access the
parking areas that they are authorized to use, parking
enforcement is conducted to deter the unlawful parking by others who do not have the
specific permit authorized for use in these areas. The officers of the NIH Division of
Police face a daunting task of improving the efficiency of parking through the
appropriate use of parking enforcement, due to the sheer number of vehicles on
campus every day. Should you receive a parking citation, there are two options, as set
forth by the written notice from the Chief of Police
