📘 Zambian Highway Code
Core principles
Follow signs, road markings, traffic signals and lawful instructions from authorised traffic officers.
Zambian traffic operates on the left. Keep to the appropriate lane and overtake only when safe and permitted.
Choose a safe speed for the road, traffic, visibility, weather and vehicle condition—not merely the maximum allowed.
Take extra care around pedestrians, children, cyclists, motorcyclists, elderly people and persons with disabilities.
Do not drive when affected by alcohol, drugs, fatigue or any condition that reduces safe control of the vehicle.
Seat belts and appropriate child restraints should be used correctly. Never carry more passengers than the vehicle is designed or licensed to carry.

🛡️ Road Safety Tips
Every trip
🚘 Defensive Driving
Anticipate risk
Look through and beyond the vehicle ahead. Identify pedestrians, merging traffic, parked vehicles and obstacles before they become immediate threats.
Do not assume another road user has seen you or will obey a rule. Keep an escape option where possible.
Maintain enough space to brake without relying on the driver ahead to react perfectly.
Check visibility, road markings, oncoming traffic, junctions and your ability to return safely to your lane.
🔧 Vehicle Safety Check
Before departure
Check condition, inflation and visible damage.
Check headlights, brake lights, indicators and hazard lights.
Do not operate an unsafe vehicle with suspected brake problems.
Clean windows, mirrors and windscreen; ensure wipers work.
Check essential fluids according to the vehicle manufacturer's guidance.
Carry required safety equipment and ensure it is accessible.
👥 Passenger Safety
For every RideSwift trip
Check the vehicle and driver details shown in the app before entering the vehicle.
Fasten your seat belt and encourage other passengers to do the same.
Choose a safe, visible pickup point and avoid stepping into moving traffic.
Children require special care and appropriate restraints where required. Never allow a child to travel unsafely.
🚑 Emergency & Crash Response
Protect life first
If a crash or serious road emergency occurs:
- Stop safely and avoid creating another hazard.
- Call for appropriate emergency assistance and give your location as clearly as possible.
- Check for danger before approaching injured people.
- Do not move seriously injured people unless there is an immediate danger requiring evacuation.
- Cooperate with emergency responders and authorised authorities.
- For a RideSwift incident, use the app's support/reporting channels as soon as it is safe to do so.
