Safe Driving Techniques

Either late 60's or early 70's. I know that '65 did not come with them yet. My 69 quarter ton ford was issued without seatbelts so it had to be after then

When it first starts raining, the roads are most slippery.

They are not street legal in most places because they are way too low for drivers to see them. Fatalities are high, even with those orange flags. Best to use good sense and drive them off road only.

Yes, when your mind has been effected by alcohol it tends to slow your thought process down. Surely you know this already.

When there is a sudden high-G deceleration. The passenger bags however will not fire if there is not enough weight on the passenger seat to indicate an adult is in the seat.

Many advocate raising the driving age to 18 and raising the age at which a driver can have a passanger to even higher than that. The idea is that since most fatalities are caused by drivers under 24 and most of them are among drivers under 18, raising the driving age would lower the traffic fatalities. Let's face it, younger drivers are more likely to be irresponsible behind the wheel especially when they have friends in the car with them. Who do you think would be more likely to participate in a street race; A 17 year old or a 35 year old?

Okay see ur point but 35 year olds have usaully been driving since they were 16-17 so they should have more expirence and maturity 17 year olds have just started they will gain expirence.

Raising the Legal Driving age does seem like a decent idea, but raising the minimum driving age doesn't necessarily mean our young drivers on the road will drive better. It will just make our casualties involving ages 18 rather than 16. Raising the driving age is a good idea, because kids are more likely to participate in street races, but if we're looking to see better driving, perhaps a good idea would be to raise the standards in our driving test, and to re-take the test every licence renewal. Personally, I was surprised and dissapointed how easy the test was to get my permit when I turned 15.

No this is a myth and what dumb question

When turning right or left a driver must use rotation hands technique. In this case you are intercepting upcoming parts of the steering wheel, thus keeping it under control and making the turn smooth and safe.

The blind spot as you call it. Is generally cured by proper set up of your mirrors and also adding small covex mirrors externally.

In crash tests, SAB is an abbreviation for side airbag. The function of an airbag is to cushion and protect occupants of a car in the event of a crash.

(one view) : The same as for any other tire you install on this vehicle. Listed in the owner's manual and on the driver's door post.

On all tires, on the side wall of the tire there is the dimensions of the tire as well as the recommended tire pressure for the front and the back tire, on low profile tires the max PSI is 45 lbs

(another view):

Manufacturer recommended tyre pressures are ONLY for the size and specification of the tyres fitted as standard as well as vehicle weight loading. Some vehicles are fitted with low profile as standard but if your tyres/wheels are different dimensions the recommended pressures will vary. Low profile tyres generally require higher pressures than taller sidewall types. Recommended pressure also takes average vehicle weight and speed into account and are given as "cold" pressures. If you carry heavy loads, tow or travel mainly on highway speeds these will be covered in your car owner manual or dealer advice. If you are on non-standard rubber then check with a tyre specialist.

Not all modern tyres have MAX pressure marked on sidewall anymore as this was misleading and could cause improper overinflation resulting in an accident and thus liability for the tyre manufacturer.

it creats a flat spot on your tire which makes it skid easy, like a sled. When your driving in snow or ice, don't slam on your brakes, just tap them over and over again and let go of the accelarator, and hold the steering wheel tight.

All depends which model you have. Can go anywhere from 600 dry to over 800 wet.

Yes. A single solid white line can be crossed, however it is discouraged. It is a cautionary traffic control device. You are still required signal your intention to change lanes for 100 feet before doing so.

No, insurance will not pay if your parents have not placed you on the policy yet. You may also want to check your state laws.

Having a 16-year-old daughter makes me a good source of info on this topic.

Good luck to you.

Actually, it depends on your carrier. Most parents add their children to their insurance when the kids get learners permits. Depending on your parents' policy, there may be an exclusion for not having an adult in the vehicle with you. Or there may not be. And, here's the fun part: Even if there is an exclusion, and you decide to drive the car without an adult parent and get into an accident, most courts would not uphold the exclusion. One, first party coverage (i.e., to pay for the damages to your parents' car) is pretty hard to deny; and, two, third party -- or liability -- coverage is difficult to deny by an insurance carrier because it would place your parents in too much jeopardy (getting sued, etc). Still, unless you want a huge hassle before you even get a license, don't risk it.

When does state law require a parent to add their 16 year old child with a learners permit to their auto policy?

In some places age does matter i think its around 7 8 years old but they also have to meet the weight an height requirements

.

a car itself is pretty heavy, all the weigt of it is equally divided by the four wheels. A tire of a car has carves in it to make it have more grip on the road. The cars' weigt and the grip it has on the road combined is what a car keeps from slipping on a dry road

when the road is wet it has less grip on the road but still the same weigt. so when your driving the kinetic energy caused by the speed of the car and the weigt can cause the car to slip.

i hope this is a good answer for you but i know i have made alot of writing errors.

Travelling too closely!

Fatigue definitely does. If your tired, your focus is no where near as sharp as if you were fully alert. As for emotions, you could miss out something important if you are angry/frustrated.
