Safe Driving Techniques

You should not turn the ignition off. Put your foot on the brake and apply steady pressure to stop. At almost the same time put the transmission in neutral. You will safely come to a stop with the engine still running and P/S and P/B still working. Immediately turn the engine off as soon as you come to a stop. Turning the ignition off will cause you to loose P/S and P/B, which is a horrible idea.

The purpose of vehicle signalling is to alert other traffic as to your intentions.

Given this, every time you intend to depart from the (in NZ) "keep to the left" rule you should use your traffic signals.

Have a companion talking with you, having a radio or tape on with lively music. Take occasional rest breaks and drink water or coffee.

You have one down and 4 up in gear.

What would hurt more, falling on cement or falling on a large pillow?

The same principle works with padded dash boards.

The padding gives less resistance and will absorb more of the impact of your body on the dash, than a hard plastic dash board.

Yes. If you have a driver's license, you're required to report your new address to the DMV, and get an updated license.

You typically have 30 days to do this.

Driving when sick or medicated can cause confusion and a decrease in mental alertness. This is extremely risky for anybody driving and can pose a threat to the driver or others on the road.

Cluth bite is about 1/3 up from the floor of the full travel of the pedal and is the same in every gear. To find the bite point, with hand/emergency brake on, depress the pedal fully, put the vehicle in gear and set the gas to about 1000 - 1100 rpm. Raise the clutch pedal until the bonnet/hood (forward gear) starts to rise and the revs start to dip. That is the bite point.

Alternatively, go to FLAT area and RELEASE all brakes (hand/e-brake and foot brake) and make sure your car does not roll. Depress the clutch petal all the way and put it into first gear. SLOWLY start to raise the clutch off the floor (do this very very slowly). and once it starts to roll, that is your biting point. You should do it a couple times just to make sure.

Mirrors in flashlights and headlights, mirrors for shaving or make up.

You can safley carry a full gas can in the uk, in your boot. You will have to sercure the gas down to stop it from not moveing an inch, also you will need a sticker on the back of your car to display if it is oxygen,explosive,corrosive, etc.

There's a yes and a no side to it and so it depends on what your ideas towards it are to decide if it is too young or not.

Are you about 18-24, blond, dippy, with long manicured (false) nails, insist on "designer labels" and a hair-dresser, model, or make-up specialist?

If the reply to 3 or more of the above is "yes" buy one, it will suit you.

Otherwise, buy one and look like 3 or more of the above is true.

You more than likely have an o-ring chain that requires little maintenance Cleaning it if you need to should be done with a stiff brush and soap and water preferably while on the bike and not dipping or submerging it off the bike. It should never be puposely submerged for long periods. If it just has light grease or oil on the outer links that you want to eliminate I would take a rag soaked in a solvent and in a well ventilated area and propping the rear wheel of the ground rotate the wheel while cleaning the chain and sprocket with the rag. Finish by using a spray-on lube designed for o-ring chains that has a high tack formula so it doesn't fling off while riding at speed. Be sure to adequately lube the rollers and the inner side of the links where the rubber o-rings are to condition them...they hold and seal in grease inside the roller links which preserve the chains high wear characteristics...the secret of modern chains high longivity. That's it. Re-lube when you notice the rollers beginning to look dry and adjust chain to the recommended up and down slack between the sprockets when it needs it. Happy ridin.

Also known as a reducing radius curve.

The corner gets tighter or sharper as you go through it.

Can be quite dangerous as the curve looks like you can go quickly and then the safe speed reduces.

close to home.

Very, very, few. And if they get your license number they will just catch you later.

I think the correct answer is 500 feet, however keep in mind that rain and other humidity in the air does crazy things on mirrors and windshields.

If you are running the red light - they should take your license. You need to pay more attention when you are driving. Not just for other drivers, but for yourself, too.

Unusual sounds coming from the vehicle.
