Safe Driving Techniques

no, at least 500 ft near you

Cutting across empty parking rows or diagonally through lots

It varies by jurisdiction (i.e., between states). The only licence classes which are universal throughout all the states of the US are the three classes of Commercial Drivers Licence - anything else as far as class is determined by the individual state. You'd need to specify which state for an accurate answer to be given.

The standard rule for this is 12 inches (1 foot), although that varies from city to city.

18 inches for state of California

30, driving test?, same lol:)

Probably fairly rare. Most racers wear helmets and most walk away from accidents. I would not be caught dead on a motorcycle or race car without a helmet.

No, you can't wear glasses during the vision portion of a driving exam. That's the reason for the test... to see if you require corrective lenses while driving.

You should drive slowly (perhaps 10 mph less than what is posted) and carefully in the rain. Be very careful when you are starting up again after being stopped at a red light; if you take off too quickly in the rain, you can easily spin out of control.

Yes, as long as the volume is at a safe level for you to hear surrounding traffic warnings, like horns or sirens. Also be respectful of other cars around you ... keep the volume level respectable as someone next to you may not like the same music station you are playing.

For passing the test for a driver's licence, the most difficult task is usually parallel parking.

For real world driving, the most difficult task is realizing your own limits.

Stop

MOST LIKELY ITS A 700R4 TRANS SO ITS A VACUME OPERATION NOT COMPUTER

it varys from state to state. but the non-emergency number for the police can tell you. in your state.

a hearse

Try to get a spotter, if no one is available then get out and look.

One if the drink contains a large quantity of alcohol. It also depends if you are male or female and your body size. Also varies from person to person. Also depends on the time between drinks. Lots of variables here. Basically if you have 2 strong drinks within a 1 hour period you may be above the legal limit. It really depends on your body.

If it is legible, however, your permanent license should come in the mail within 10 days and you won't need to worry about your temporary one.

Try always concentrate on moving with the traffic flow, and you'll be save on any number of lanes. Always try to create an empty space around you, so you can change lanes safely. Never slow down when you change lanes, go with the traffic flow.

Because more drivers are becoming impatient with road delays in general.

Perhaps a metaphor (extended) will help paint the picture.

Say you have a three foot by three foot by three foot box, and in this box you place a rat and a year's supply of food and water. You'll have a happy rat. Now change nothing and add another rat. Both will still be relatively happy. Change nothing else other than you add thirty more rats. The rats are no longer so happy. In fact, they are likely killing each other and eating the remains.

Rats and humans are quite similar. Take a look at the history of Easter Island.

The simple answer to your question and what explains why people are less tolerant and patient: too many rats in the box.

You turn your wheel towards the direction that the car is skidding. For example if the back wheels are skiddng to the left you should steer to the left too, whilst pumping the brakes, not keeping your foot on them.

There is a formula for the make believe world but for every day life there are way to many variables to pinpoint it. IE. What's the weather like today?, Did you have your coffee, how's the reaction time doing today? When the local mecanic told you your tires, brakes and shocks were junk do you change them

You should always have an instrument in your vehicle that allows you to cut your seat belt and break the car windows, and keep it easily accessible. But assuming you don't have one, you should immediately unfasten your seat belt and roll down your window, before the electronics short out. If your windows won't roll down, then wait until the car does fill up with enough water to equalize the pressure, which will then allow you to open your car door and swim to safety. If the water is moving swiftly, or if you don't know how to swim, crawl to the top of the car, on the roof. Even strong swimmers have drowned when trying to swim in fast moving water. If you are driving on a flooded roadway, it is important to keep the bow-wave to a minimum. Decelerate before the flood if possible but no not brake, and hit the water square on. The force of the water will slow the vehicle dramatically and to reduce the effects of aquaplaning, keep the wheels straight and resist the urge to violently turn the steering wheel. A light touch will provide feedback and small increments of the wheel will control the car. And then light acceleration will enable progress while keeping the bow-wave down, and maintaining maximum traction. When clear of the water accelerate to normal speed then gently press the brakes until they dry off (you will feel even braking all round). Note as the brakes dry off you are likely to feel juddering or pulling to one side. So make the braking gentle, you don't want to veer into oncoming traffic. If the engine stalls, try to crank it just once. If it starts, no matter how roughly, get out of the flood park up safely and investigate. If it will not start, put on the hazards, abandon the vehicle and walk back up the road the way you came, so you can warn other traffic. Call the emergency services and vehicle recovery. If the engine will not crank it is likely to have ingested water and become hydraulically locked. In the worst case the engine could need stripping and rebuilding. So keep the bow-wave down!

You have to have an adult in the passenger seat for you to drive on a permit. You have to have an adult in the passenger seat for you to drive on a permit.

The lawyers come running.

Probably not much difference with normal cars.

Possibly, increased danger of fire due to short circuit of high-power batteries. Probably not, but the possibility is there depending on severity of the impact.

Possible chemical leakage if the battery is ruptured due to impact.
