What time is rush hour in Denver Colorado?
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.
Do you help people who need help?
This question has many different varying answers, and others may have different opinions. Helping someone on the road, especially if you do not know them, could be hazardous. If you spot a seemingly innocent person with car trouble, I'd advise you to stop and think. Will this hurt you? Will this benefit you? Will it benefit them? You need to think before stepping out of your way to help someone. A good Samaritan isn't always safe in these situations. Remember, there is ALWAYS possible danger, whether they have a gun or if they're in possession of drugs. Of course, not everyone who has car trouble is going to be dangerous. Think, and stay safe.
What is the safe driving gap between cars?

How much distance between a car following a motorcycle?
Allow more following distance than you would behind another car - three to four seconds - when following a motorcycle to allow the rider enough time to maneuver or stop in an emergency. In dry conditions, motorcycles can stop more quickly than cars.
You can continue driving without making any changes. But:
- You should consider the possibility that the other vehicle may jump in possibly cutting you off.
- You can be considerate and move to the next line allowing the other car to enter the highway.

How do you avoid hydroplaning?
Drive slower and make sure your tires have sufficient tread to channel the water away. Worn tires is the main cause of hydroplaning.
Added: Hydroplaning is caused by a loss of traction from your vehicles footprint. A vehicles footprint relates to the contact surface of the tires, usually only 12 inches per tire.
To avoid hydroplaning you should reduce your speed, anticipate where problem areas of the road are, avoid pooling water if possible, shuffle steer the vehicle, do not apply the breaks, steer into the skid, and do not panic.
In situations of wet or icy weather drivers should reduce their speed to a manageable rate. This enables drivers to observe problems before they start.
If possible, drivers should avoid pools of water, which at high speeds could cause traction loss.
If a driver needs to input steering corrections it should be accomplished by shuffle steering. Shuffle steering is accomplished by positioning the drivers hands at a 4o'clock and 8o'clock position on the steering wheel, instead of what is taught in Drivers Training 10o'clock and 2o'clock. The driver should use their fingertips to shuffle the steering wheel between their hands which allows the vehicle to rock slightly, redistributing the weight of the vehicle, and keeping ones hands and arms away from a potential air bag deployment.
The driver should stay off the gas and off the breaks and steer into the skid.
Most importantly, do not panic, as this could cause over correction.
