Safe Driving Techniques

True

that's easy if the slacks are working they will adjust the brakes .if they are not working the brakes will be out of adjustment.

I work at a class 8 truck dealership, there are 2 types of slack adjusters, auto and manual. If you have auto slack adjusters, they will adjust themselves to a point, however, if you have no braking capability to speak of other parts are probally wore out, s cams or clevis posibbly s cam bushings, brake chambers. Manual slack adjusters should be checked in my opinion only at least at every pm or when braking capability suffers. Those big trucks take a lot more time and space to stop and their brakes had better be in good shape or dot will shut them down if caught.

Usually no more than 1 foot (12 inches). Some city or township ordinances have laws that you can be ticketed if you are more than a foot from the curb.

For your safety...

pull into a parking lot and use a paper towel or your shirt to pick it up and crush it

Danyell sucks big toes

Apparently it's 18 inches in most places.

You should not drive too fast for the turn.

Once you are in your turn, your foot should not be on the gas pedal.

On your average 90 degree left turn that would be near 15mph.

On your average right turn that will be near 10mph.

this can vary depending on the width of the turn.

brake before the turn.

Coast through the turn.

A little speed (usually gas) out of the turn.

cut out everything from the doors up lol... you can't you need the supports in between your windows to hold up the roof!

Mirrors are the only way it seems.

In terms of Physics, a car's tires will skid on the road due to a difference in the coefficient of friction between the two surfaces. Other forces also play a role in determining whether or not the car will have enough frictional grip to stay on the road i.e. the normal force, gravity, other external forces.

In the USA there are about 40000 deaths in car crashes every year. Thus, this mean that if you drive 50 years, your chances of dying is 1 in 100.

You usually cannot have your highs on within 200-250 feet of an oncoming vehicle. Essentially, if you can see any kind of glare from their headlights, you should disable your highs. You should not be driving with your high beams on unless on a country road where no light posts are installed or during inclement weather where visibility is less than 5 miles.

Its important to know that you need the correct size chains for your tires. If they are properly adjusted well fitted chains. You should be able to travel up to 40mph depending on road conditions. Keep in mind the average speed you drive with chains is consistent with how long they will last. I tend to keep it under 30mph.

As a general guideline, 30mph on properly tightened and adjusted chains should be max. If the conditions are bad enough to warrant the use of chains you should anticipate a slow rate of travel and not be in a hurry or try to 'push' the boundaries of what is safe or prudent. This is true for 'cables' as well as 'chains'

it is different for all intersections, sometimes it goes on while the light for the people going straight is still red and sometimes it goes on right before the light turns red

race car

VERY bad idea to do this.
no it guves you less control and if you beging to skidd your cruise control will tell your car to accelerate and you will take off like a plane

Generally you have your wheels turned enough to begin making the turn, and your indicator should be flashing for a minimum amount of time before turning. Hence, you both turn and signal while waiting.

I believe that is true, I haven't had a Fl D L since 1982-1983.

In a car without ABS, if you slam on the brakes, your wheels will lock and your car will skid. ABS prevents the wheels from locking by releasing the brakes if you start to loose traction.

When you driving around the curve it means you are making a right turn in most of the cases. By doing that you must look to the right and over your shoulder to see for pedestrians crossing, for roller skaters or bicyclists speeding across on the sidewalk or on the road. This is for safety of driving around the curve.

No. they text and drive because of sheer stupidity.

This turns off the traction control feature. Most people should not press this button. There are, however, certain situations in which it can be useful:

1) Useful during diagnosis of a mechanical problem.

2) As a workaround if a dangerous system problem with the traction control is known but repairs may need to wait a few days.

3) Enabling dynamometer testing (for power or emissions) on a 2 wheel drive vehicle.

4) On front wheel drive vehicle, to prevent cyclical gyrations of the power steering during excessive hard acceleration (machine controlled by negative feedback).

5) On rear wheel drive vehicles, expert driver may wish to use high torque to break traction for a controlled slide around a turn.

You don't need to walk. and i am wrong

(No difference-- now and today are the same time period.) let me explane to you about this:the transport in the olden days are not as many as now and also not as comfortable as now as well, so we need to be happy and glad about our new life

The headlight deflectors are located in the headlight assembly. They can be difficult to remove and replace, because you have to feel your way around in the beginning.
