Safe Driving Techniques

Yes. When your high beams run the risk of blinding oncoming traffic you must dim them. The exact distance will vary with how powerful your beams are, and the alignment of the cars. If you're on the outside face of a curve you can keep them on a little longer.

In Texas, per 9-1 of the Texas Drivers Handbook, you should lower (dim) your headlights when you are: 1) Within 500 feet of an approaching vehicle. 3) When driving on lighted roads. 4) When driving in fog, heavy rain, sleet, snow, or dust.

Switching your automatic transmission into a lower gear, to utilize engine braking and maintain a lower speed can be a safe way to descend a steep incline. It is always a way to potentially save money on brake pads, however with that advantage comes some risk. Automatic transmissions are very complex, and thus expensive to repair and replace. If your vehicle is equipped with overdrive, switch it off when downshifting (some vehicles do this automatically when the gear selector has no button around it, and the position in which you normally leave it in is a D with a circle around it.) Heat is the number one enemy of all things, and if you plan to shift into a lower gear to descend a steep hill regularly, it may be a worthwhile investment to have an aftermarket transmission fluid cooler installed (even if your vehicle is already equipped with one from the factory.) The larger capacity heat exchanger will allow for cooler operating temperatures under the most demanding circumstances such as downshifting, or accelerating. Doing so, may prolong the life of your transmission and provide you with a less expensive alternative to replacing your brake pads every few thousand miles for those of you who live on top of a mountain. Remember to have your automatic transmission fluid and filter replaced at regular intervals, especially under severe operating conditions such as the ones specified in this post.

One hour at 107 miles per hour. Make sure you have a radar detector or jammer though.

It can be called Response Time or Reaction Time.

There can be multiple instances of similarly numbered spurs or loops in the Interstate Highway System. Three numbers, starting with an even number, indicate a loop. The first number (2,4,6,8) is usually a measure of distance from the city itself. The last two numbers are the Interstate which the loop is formed around (e.g., I635 is a loop where you can enter from I35 on one side of the city and reenter I35 on the opposite side of the city).

The handbrake is only used for parking.

Typically, body mass, whether or not one has had food recently, and alcohol tolerance of the individual in question. Also the type of alcoholic beverage consumed. Sipping beer will not make you as drunk as shots.

The calculation of what? The gross weight? The curb weight?

Against traffic. Also, remember to wear bright clothing at night so that you are visible.

check review mirror and side mirrors then proceed to back from parking space

keep a minimum time of two seconds behind

^Most common answer on DMV Permit Tests is: A Safe Distance.

May sound stupid, but no one ever said the government was smart.

1. Aim high

2. Get the big picture

3. Keep your eyes moving

4. Leave yourself an out

5. Make sure they see you

When another vehicle is passing you, safe practicesuggests that you: * Back off on your accelerator so as to slightly slow down allowing the passing vehicle to complete the pass as easily, quickly, and therefore safely, as possible. * Concentrate on keeping your vehicle steadily within in your lane of travel, without any weaving, which could panic the passing driver. possibly resulting in a collision. * For maximum safety for you, the passing vehicle, and others, you should do everything to make the pass as easy as possible.

You put a white flag in your window to get attention and call for help. It is a distress signal that is recognized around the world.

Believe it or not, the white stripes in the middle of the road or on the roadway are 10ft. in length with 30ft. in between each one!!!

I think driving test differs from one state to another so, some may be difficult while other could be easy.

Just make sure you relax while taking your driving test -- that will help you pass it.

There is no way! The only way to drive alone is on a provisional license which requires 6 months on a permit, 3 drivers training classes, and the Drivers ED.

Actually yes you can. If you go to the dmv's site, there will be an exceptions section where you can go to school by yourself as long as the prinicpal signs a note or document stating that you may do so.

Technically, the DMV does not have lawmaking authority so it is not up to the DMV to determine who can drive when and under what circumstances. This function is left to the state legislature. The legislature could make it possible for a 16-year-old to drive alone to school with only a driver's permit if they were so inclined, though I doubt they will be so inclined any time soon. And with reference to the answer posted above, it appears to have confused exemptions to the first-year-license restrictions as exmptions to restrictions of drivers permits. A fairly exhaustive search of the CA DMV website uncovered NO exceptions to the requirement that a learner's permit holder must have a certified driving instructor, a license-holding parent/guardian, or other license-holding person aged 25 or older in the car with them while driving.

To the person who said..

[There is no way! The only way to drive alone is on a provisional license which requires 6 months on a permit, 3 drivers training classes, and the Drivers ED.]

You can get a permit at 15 and a half, if you need 6 months with a permit, you can get a permit at 15 and a half and when 6 months pass by, you're 16.

If they are driving for you or your company he/they will have signed a letter allowing the company to check.

If you are really concerned call the police and explain why you are concerned and they will check into it, it is unlikely they will tell you the results, but they will deal with it.

And finally call him on it and ask him to show you his licence.

Yes, you will be given a ticket within days.

No, regardless of the child's age, a booster seat should NEVER be used in the front seat. An airbag can kill a child in the front seat if they are not tall enough and heavy enough to properly take the impact of the air bag.

In Texas, you must have your leaners permit for 6 months - which allows you to drive in the car with an adult. After the 6 month period, you may apply for a Texas Driver's license...and if you pass, you will be able to drive in the car by yourself. There is, however, a law that will only allow you to have 1 other person in the car with you the first 6 months you are driving on your own. Good luck...and be careful!

One quart of oil = 1.88 pounds The viscosity of the oil has no bearing on actual weight.

No,

No. Along with D.C., Pennsylvania, Hawaii, Arizona, and South Carolina, New Hampshire does not permit operation of a vehicle within their state on an out-of-state learner's permit.

Having lived and worked in that city at various times from the 50's to the 80's, my best estimate is from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. It can be mind shattering and even worse if the weather is unfavorable. Denver may have an excellent and responsive snow removal system, but it rarely extends to residential areas before the temperature warms up and the dry winds eliminate any heavy snow fall. At the worst of times the entire front range or I-25 corridor can face gridlock and road rage is a common phenomenon.
