Stay alert and focused
It's important to be well-rested and fully concentrated to be able to react quickly to potential risks
Apply the 3 - 4 seconds rule
Keeping at least 3 - 4 seconds distance from the vehicle in front, even more in bad weather conditions, is safer.
Expect mistakes from others

Practice makes perfect – and it's no different on the road. We can connect you with partners that developed safety training to enable you to deliver confidently and calmly on the roads.
Wear protective equipment
Make yourself visible in road traffic and minimise dangers with the right equipment. Always check that your bike has two independent brakes, white front light and red backlight and that your pedals are non-slip and screwed on tightly. Your jackets should have reflectors and wearing a helmet will help prevent head injuries.
Emergency button for quick support
Despite a careful and defensive driving style, accidents can unfortunately happen. The Courier App has an in-app emergency button to give you quick access to the emergency call in an unforeseen situation.
