Safe Driving Techniques

If your state has the 8 light warning system, you treat a bus stopped just like a traffic light. If the yellow lights are flashing, you need to prepare for a stop. If you are too close to stop, you can proceed on through with caution. When the reds come on, you must STOP period.

When the reds come on, the bus driver has opened the passenger door to exit or pick up pupils.

If your state has the 4 light system (all reds), you must stop when they are activated.

Turn the wheels to the left or opposite the curb. That way, if for any reason your car begins to roll, the momentum should be stopped by the curb. Also, if you turned it incorrectly to the right or toward the curb, your car would swing out into traffic in the event that it began to roll.

Absolutely yes. Think of all the crashes you see at the race track with drivers that have helmets and walk away from them. Granted there are a lot more modifications done to the race vehicles also, but I believe you would have less chance of a fatal accident if you included a helmet with a lap/shoulder harness also.

In Texas, the test requires the wheels to be 6-12 inches away from the curb. It might be different in your state though!

About 75% of bicycle crashes are fatal. The 15% just have minor injuries. And the other 10% have major injuries.

The begining of a rain storm or sprinkle they are extremely slick and you will be fooled by just how slick the road can be. Of course the roads are at the very slickest when they are covered with ice.

No, driving lessons are not included in the lowest price traffic school, which is kind of ironic: a traffic school that does not provide driving lessons.

The tread of tires is designed to channel the water between the ridges, so that the upper tread stays in contact with the road. The tread gives water someplace to go as the tire rolls. It channels away from the surface of the tire so that the tire will make contact with the road.

That is why it is easy to hydroplane on worn tires. The water can't get out from under the tire fast enough and you end up riding on water.

I'm downloading a manual from emule. I don't know if is true.

It means that you are about to enter an area where the posted speed limit is lower than the one you are in now.

TRUE statement. The actual distance is dictated by state law, which varies.

If you are still moving, speed up to lessen the speed difference. If stopped, lean forward to lessen whiplash.

When trying to stop or slow on a slippy road, lightly pump the brakes.

hidden driveways and intersections with vehicles pulling out, animals, pedestrians, bicyclists, oncoming cars, sudden curves in the road.

Not illegal, they just don't use the letters I, O, Q, U, Y, or Z.

Generally 5 mph but you should always check the particular parking area for the posted speed limit.

Driving down a mountain can be dangerous. if it's a manual car then stay in a low gear such as second or third. this will create a drag effect from the engine and not allow the car to speed up too much from gravity. if it's an automatic then put the selector into 'L' (for low gear) or '2'. Apply the brakes gently and intermittently Don't brake continuously as the brakes will heat up and not operate to full efficiency this is called brake fade.

Speaking from personal experience, as both of my vehicles are outfitted with limo tint, driving at night can definitely be a challenge. It is much darker in the cabin of the vehicle, this is a given, and to some degree it has an reducing effect on the driver's visibility. Another safety issue to consider is the police. Darker tint and the inability to see the driver tends to make an officer a tad jumpy. I can't blame them. Roll that window down! I suggest you check your local laws prior to having your vehicle tinted as most jurisidictions will have laws dictating the percentage requirements for legal tint. Although most tint shops will apply illegal tint, it's up to you to decide if the traffic ticket is worth it. Heavy tinting certainly can be dangerous. In fact regulations in the UK effectively ban any heavy tinting of the windscreen and front windows. The front side windows need to let in 70% of the available light in order for the tint to be legal. The windscreen must let in 75% of the available light in in order for the tint to be legal. For the rear windows no limitations apply.
