FIRST OFF NEVER USE AN OVERPASS FOR SHELTER.
The Truth About Overpasses Many people mistakenly think that a highway overpass provides safety from a tornado. In reality, an overpass may be one of the worst places to seek shelter from a tornado. Seeking shelter under an overpass puts you at greater risk of being killed or seriously injured by flying debris from the powerful tornadic winds.
The idea that overpasses offer safety probably began in 1991, when a television news crew and some citizens rode out a very weak tornado under an overpass along the Kansas Turnpike. The resulting video continues to be seen by millions, and appears to have fostered the idea that overpasses are preferred sources of shelter, and should be sought out by those in the path of a tornado. In addition, news magazine photographs of people huddled under an overpass with an approaching tornado imply that this is the correct safety procedure. NOTHING CAN BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH! http://www.crh.noaa.gov/ddc/?n=over
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO If you're outside in a car or in a mobile home, go immediately to the basement of a nearby sturdy building. Sturdy buildings are the safest place to be. Tornado winds can blow large objects, including cars and mobile homes, hundreds of feet away. Tornadoes can change direction quickly and can lift up a car or truck and toss it through the air; never try to out-drive a tornado. Mobile homes are particularly vulnerable. A mobile home can overturn very easily even if precautions have been taken to tie down the unit. If there is no building nearby, lie flat in a low spot. Use your arms and hands to protect your head. Tornadoes cause a lot of debris to be blown at very high speeds, and you can be hurt by this debris if it hits you. Dangerous flying debris can be blown under highway overpasses and bridges, or weaker overpasses and bridges could be destroyed. You will be safer lying flat in a low-lying area where wind and debris will blow above you. Tornadoes come from severe thunderstorms, which can produce a lot of rain. If you see quickly rising water or flood water coming towards you, move to another spot. Avoid places with wide-span roofs, such as auditoriums, cafeterias, large hallways, or shopping malls. Wide-span roofs are frequently damaged or destroyed in tornado winds, providing less protection and more risk of injury, than roofs over smaller rooms.

WHY OVERPASSES ARE NOT TO BE USED FOR SHELTERS
http://www.srh.noaa.gov/oun/papers/overpass/slide01.html
agreed completely but if you cant reach shelter lie face down in a ditch with you hands over your head.
No. You should take cover in a sturdy building.
Well this depends where you are if you are at your home you should get to your basement. If you were driving down the street and a tornado comes you should find a sturdy building or, if none is available, a ditch.
If you don't own a vehicle, or have no intention of driving, you do not have to maintain auto insurance.
You will find out when you are in a driving test
Do not try to outrun it. It may be the last thing you ever do. Instead, get out of the car and seek shelter, be it a house or building or a ditch
Driving licence
The operator of a vehicle is responsible for the vehicle he/she is driving.
His liability insurance on his car should transfer to the vehicle that he is driving.
Get out and run
Quickly put your foot on the gas!
If you were cited then you need to appear, if you have coverage on another vehicle then you should bring that proof with you as you should be technically covered for driving another persons vehicle.
If the tornado is close and approaching you, leave the vehicle for some sort of shelter, preferably underground. If you cannot get inside, lie in a ditch or depression in the ground.
