Safe Driving Techniques

If it has a manual transmission then you can. If it has an automatic transmission you can but not for more than a few miles and don't exceed 40 mph.

Absolutely not. The ONLY exception to this is if the 14yr old is driving on private property with both the vehicle owners and the property owners permission and under adult supervision.

It depends on the situation. If you are in the left lane of a multi lane highway then you should move to the right lane and let the faster vehicles pass safely. If you are in the right lane on a two lane road then you should slow down enough so as to allow the tailgating vehicle to safely pass you on the left. Never make any gestures or actions that display your possible aggrivation with the other driver. This is road rage and will only escallate the situation. Let them pass. If they want to be first on scene at their own accident then let them and don't join them.

The ABS light means there is something wrong with the brakes.

The car will move and drive without exploding, but your safety will be severely reduced.

Please get it fixed.

You should always be looking behind you when backing up. You don't look forward when reversing because you're not moving in a forward direction.

it is called abs. anti lock braking system

Owner's manuals usually recommend to check the tires' air pressure weekly.

No, its for emergencies only. Last thing you need is a vehicle legitimately taking to the shoulder at speed and taking you out. Filter the traffic by going cautiously between the lanes of stationary traffic. Most traffic will hold position and let you through but beware of the frustrated and the lane changers and people getting out to see how far away the hold-up is.

Iit depends on where you live. Motorcycles can easily overheat in stop in go traffic.

The exam consists of 18 questions and you must answer 15 correctly in order to pass.

I would suspect a tire out of balance or a bent wheel. Have the tires balanced and rotated and inspect everything.

When it's the first rain after a dry spell.

There could be a number of reasons, principally, not being 'run in' properly from new. Possibly the piston rings are worn and valve seats are loaded with burnt carbon.

To recover from a rear wheel skid, you should turn your wheel in the direction of the skid. For example, if your back wheels are sliding out to the left, you should turn your wheel to the left.

The best way to put this into practice is to select a target in the distance that is in the direction you were heading before the skid and aim for it. You'll find you hands and feet will go into autopilot and you don't have to overthink things. Studies show people using the 'target' method will recover faster and with less over-correction than drivers who don't.

It is advisable not to brake or suddenly alter your speed when skidding, light acceleration is optional and can help slightly as it transfers more weight onto the back wheels which can help regain traction.

You recover from a front wheel skid, point your wheels in the direction you are skidding, ease off the throttle and gently apply the brakes. This will help slow you down and transfer the weight to the front of the vehicle, allowing the front wheels to regain traction.

It is a good idea to limit their ability to move around inside the car while you are driving. They can become a distraction and could physically get in the way of the driver.

not a lot. a tire is recomened to have a serton amount of pressure. the plys between the rubber stop it expanding and exploding.

Truck driving schools in the US like to teach you to upshift at 1500 RPMs and go back into gear at 1000 (this is with an unsynchronised transmission). Personally, I upshift at 1900 - when you go back into gear at 1500, it bogs the motor down, reducing the service life of the motor.
