Safe Driving Techniques

In my country, Singapore, our government built Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) gantries on the highways. These gantries automatically deduct payment from the In-vehicle Unit (IU) found in each motor vehicle, in which you insert your cashcard. This way, motorists will want to avoid the gantries on the highways and this will divert some of the traffic into the smaller, less-travelled roads.

Reduce your speed.

At minimum 3 seconds. If the road conditions are adverse, it should be 5 seconds or more.

After you have been working in the engine compartment.

The maximum towing weight for a Ford Escort Van is 1,650 pounds. Its maximum trailer hitch weight is just 165 pounds, so care must be taken to not overload the suspension.

When You Drive A Old Skool Car With A Carb You press down the pedal for cold starts but when car is warmed up you don't always have to press down the pedal

Sometimes you need to press it down in the morning becoause of the condensation.

//////on a car with a carburetor you need to press the gas pedal when starting cold to engage the choke and also the fast idle cam

Bluetooth was invented by Ericsson, a telecom vendor, in 1994. Bluetooth Special Interest Group developed and manages this wireless technology.

Alcohol can impair your reaction times and hand eye co-ordination. The way alcohol affects a person is dependent on their physiology, weight, drinking habits and metabolism.

A Small amount of alcohol can actually improve your reflexes and reaction times (in short the right quantity makes you better) HOWEVER this quantity is rather small, were talking a few swallows of beer, basically a small portion of a standard drink. If you even begin to feel the affect of alcohol (tipsy) you are well beyond this affect. This effect is also short lived due to the way our bodies process and absorb

alcohol

You might check with the principal or vice-principal of your son's school - there may be free or low-cost Driver's Education class avaiable during school hours or after school. If not, check with your town, city, county, or state government to see if there is a government program to teach driving skills for free or at low cost. First place to check would be the Motor Vehicles Administration (or Department of Motor Vehicles). If not, would you have time to teach your son yourself on weekends? If not, would a trusted family member who lives nearby be willing and available?

Locate an I-40 East on ramp and put the pedal to the metal.

Within no more than 30 centimeters.

AWD= All wheels pull all the time, but in a 4x4= its a rear wheel drive until the driver choses to ingage the front axel.

Fridge's are difficult to move. laying it down and strapping it in is obviously the best way, but that kills the fridge. It has to be kept upright to aviod damaging the refridgerator. All you can do is strap it in tightly and ensure it can't tip over. Pickup trucks work well because you can brace it against the back of the cab to help prevent it from tipping, but even that only goes so far. Just be sure that it cant slide, tip, or have the doors fly open, and be sure you can see around it in your side view mirrors. Then drive carefully, take turns very slowly, dont swerve or accelorat/brake hard.

you're supposed to learn the rules, concepts, ideas, and facts; you don't just get the answers. That's why you have to take the test, to see if you know about/and how to drive.

Pull over and stop to rest.

Yellow lines of all types indicate the leftmost edge of where you can drive in a certain direction.

A double solid yellow line may not be crossed except when making a left-hand turn to either leave or join the road divided by said line. A single yellow line on a two-lane, two-way road serves the same purpose.

Some jurisdictions use yellow lines on one-way roadways or divided highways to indicate the left edge of the roadway.

You don't say what kind of surface you will be driving on. Probably the most challenging condition is snow so that will be my focus. First, let me give you my experience level...9 years in Alaska, 3 years in upstate New York (Snowtown USA), 3 years in northern Utah (in the mountains where the Olympics were). Let's just say, I have driven in a LOT of snow. Now for the answer I think you are looking for:

It depends mostly on the type of snow you generally have in your area. If it is very cold and you have mostly powder snow, then narrower tires would be your best bet because it will push the snow out of the way much easier. Powder snow on the highway is most often associated with the appearance of dust in your rear view mirror. BTW, if the temperature is very cold and you have powder snow, it is very hard and sometimes impossible to make a snowball...it just falls apart when you let go of it.

If on the other hand, you get mostly wet snow (makes a snowball easily and tightly) a wider tire would be your best bet since it has more channels in the surface with which to grip the snow. Since it is wider, it will also tend to ride up away from the ice formed on the roadway itself from the compacted snow of other drivers.

That all being said, once the snow on the roadway turns to ice the only way you are going to get sufficient traction to be really safe is with the use of studded tires. The difference in traction is actually VERY dramatic.

Depending upon how much you drive in the snow, chains may be in order and they are much easier to apply to narrow tires. The wider the tire, the less clearance you have from the car's body parts. Chain damage can get very expensive extremely quickly. NOTE: Chains do virtually nothing for you on sheer ice and sometimes actually lessen your traction because steel is hard and skates across the ice easily.

In a simpler explanation, wider tyre or narrow tyre actually provide almost the same amount of surface area, thus it will not have much effect on the traction IE; you still need the same force to push a book lying flat on the table either it was placed horizontally or vertically, even standing up straight.

It really matters on what kind of application and what u expect from a tyre.

Narrow tyre are good in avoiding aquaplaning, thus it have better wet traction.

Wider tyre have a lower profile sidewall to improve steering feedback and handling.

Depends on the conditions. Hot summer day wide tires give more traction. Snowy covered roads narrow tires.

This is where physics comes to play.

Let's say you have a pickup truck. All four tires have 1000 pounds on each of them. (4000 pounds total) Let's say you have a wide tire that the width of the tire is 12 inches wide. To give you a rough idea 12 divided by 1000 pounds = 83 pounds per square inch on that tire. Now let's say same truck with narrow tires that are 6 inches wide. 6 divided by 1000 pounds = 166 pound per square inch.

That's not the actual way you do tire contact patch weight measurements but gives you a rough idea. For snow you want weight and friction. 166 pounds would be alot better in snow. Wide would float and spin out, not getting to the bottom where the traction is. This is the same reason you see today 4x4 trucks with wide tires stuck in 6 inches of snow. And old ford model T cars (2wd) with wagon wheels driving through 6 of snow without a wheel spin. This is where width + weight per square inch + friction comes to play. If you are a race car driver. Big wide sticky tires on hot pavement would win hands down. Heat + tire contact surface area. Also narrow tires are easier to push through snow, then wide tires. Take a frozen stick of butter and try cutting it with a knife. Now try cutting a frozen stick of butter with a round shovel handle. A good majority of snow you drive through is not all going under the tire, some of it is getting pushed, Plowed out of the way just like a snow plow. So narrow would easier to push through snow and get better fuel mileage. Driving in snow, assuming you have two wide 12 inch tires in the front plowing a path 2x12=24 inch path or 2 foot wide path being plowed with the front tires. Or narrow tires 2x6=12 inch path or 1 foot wide being plowed with the front tires. 12 inch path would take less effort to push through snow.

It means you can not pass another vehicle.. unless its a tractor or a mail truck delivering mail

Good question! A lot more that are alive today than those than didn't Buckle up. Few realize - that the Seat belt will allow you to remain in the drivers seat, possibly long enough to recover control of your vehicle. You can't help much if thrown or bounced into the headliner or passenger seat. Zero None
