Safe Driving Techniques

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

No, much like Chinese people only eat cats, Hawaiians only eat male Russian tourists.

A Massachusetts License is good for up to 5 years and it expires on your birthday. You may renew your license up to 1 year prior to the expiration date.

Normally 500 feet, but think if you wanted someones headlights in your eyes.

Yes, water cools your engine. A water pump draws water from the radiator and into pores in the engine block, cooling it off. There is a thermostat that lets the hot water out of he engine at a certain temperature so the hot water cools off in the radiator with wind and the cold water goes in the engine.

Yes it does. However, there are helments that have little ear slots so you can can hear.

If you mean while backing out of or otherwise driving out of an alley or a driveway and onto a street, yes. Cars on the road have the right of way, therefore you should stop. You should also stop to look for pedestrians and people riding bicycles.

Skidding is the result of loss of traction or excessive friction. If you attempt to suddenly stop a moving object on a slippery surface, the friction from the surface is no longer acting upon the object. Instead, the object is floating over the surface using the slippy substance as friction (which creates little if none).

On the otherhand, objects such as tires can skid when the tire itself is taking the friction instead of the rotor. Essentially the tire is attempting to dig into the road to slow/stop versus the breaks because the breaks are fully applied and typically locked unless ABS activates.

Yes it does. It cause respiratory distress.

Never do that. Because it is dangerous and there is a high risk that you vehicle will get hit by the train.

Different countries have different rules for what lights need to be showing when the vehicle is in motion. Generally, it refers to the lights you must display when driving a vehicle on a public road. These rules vary.

In Sweden, for instance, you must always display tail lights and dipped or low beam headlights whilst moving. In cars manufactured in such countries the required 'running lights' illuminate when the engine is started. Other lights are additional for mist and fog.

Elsewhere, the UK for instance, dipped or low beam headlights and tail lights must be displayed when visibility is restricted or between certain hours. There is no exact definition of what 'restricted visibility' means. At least one high intensity rear light must be additionally displayed when visibility is severely restricted, fog for instance.

Side lights or parking lights are not called running lights, nor have they been since the very early days of motoring.

A basic rule is if in doubt put your dipped or low beam headlights on.

A crumple zone is an area of the car specifically designed to fold up like an accordion upon impact. The action of bending the metal requires energy. As the metal crumples, it absorbs energy from the impact. This means that as more of the car crumples, more energy is absorbed by the car and not you. The less energy you absorb, the less likely serious energy will occur. The passenger compartment on the vehicle is designed to crumple either around passengers or not at all, maximizing the crumple zones of the car.

A small, light car with small tyres. The tyres and their ability to clear water are the biggest factor, the weight of the vehicle defines the rubber 'footprint' on the roadway.

Driving any vehicle requires the full attention of the driver. When a driver is also chatting away on the phone, they are not fully aware of everything happening about them while traveling about 45 feet per second on the freeway. It should be totally illegal to use a cell phone while driving - there isn't anything THAT important in life that simply can't possibly wait for a few minutes or an hour.

A few years ago, there were no cell phones - people got along just fine without them then and made decent livings and paid their bills, and accomplished lots ob business transactions without the need to chat about them 24/7 as in today's life.

Enjoy the scenery - enjoy the ride ... the life you save may be your own.

According to this Washington State University paper there is no evidence of them working. http://cru.cahe.wsu.edu/CEPublications/eb1677/eb1677.html

Venophobia or simply Fear Of Driving

Marks a non-crossable point in the road

Stalling the car is the main one - When you first start to drive a car, you will most likely stall (trip the engine) as it takes experience in controlling the car to stop this from happening. It happens to every new driver, so I wouldn't worry about it. It even happens to the most experienced drivers.

You will get a ticket if you drive without your License in your possession.

Yes, in most places. There are some areas in Naples that I would highly unrecommend going on account of the mob activities there, but otherwise, Italy is generally safe.

People have a hard time driving a car at first because there are a lot of things to think about simultaneously. You need to drive the car, watch out for other motorists, read the signs and remember where you're going all at the same time.

you may become too relaxed and lose concentration.

High beam headlights reveal objects at a distance of at least 450 feet away. High beam headlights allow the driver to view obstacles in the road much sooner than low beam headlights.
