Safe Driving Techniques

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

The danger signal

Will be detrimental to your engine.

You have to be at least ten years or older to sit in the front seat and weigh at least eighty-five pounds

Remove pressure from the accelerator pedal but not so much as to cause engine breaking. If sliding occurs, turn in the direction of desired travel. Decrease speed until hydroplaning stops.

It is not harmful but it dangerous.

18 inches according to transportation code 545.303

Most states recommend that you keep your wheels about 6 inches away from the curb, but do not penalize you if your vehicle is within 18 inches from the curb. Anything further than that, and you fail the maneuver.

The statute governing this distance is different from state to state, and maybe even city-to-city.

You could, but it probably won't make any difference in the manner in which the other driver is going to do in the next mile or next month. Some rude drivers just don't care and nothing short of them dying in an accident will ever stop them from driving that way. There are good and bad drivers on the roads. But people seem to forget that driving is a privilege .. it is not a right.
