not drive a car have a driver has been drinking you should let someone else take the wheel or i should call a taxi or wait until all the facts of the alcohol have disappeared one of the most hazardous offenses is that of driving under the influence of an alcoholic beverage alcohol is absorbed very quickly into the blood and is easily detected alcohol and driving do not mix studies have shown that a person with only one seventh of one percent concentration of alcohol in his blood is thirty times more likely to have a collision than a nondrinker if you drink do not drive speeding is the number one killer on our nation's road more men women and children have been killed on american highways than all the wars of our country's history the basic spade rule is that you must always drive at a reasonable and save speed in addition some states post signs along the road with maximum speed limits which must not be exceeded different speed limits are usually in force and residential and business districts and  special zones like schools parks and bridges they are established for maximum safety and must always be observed safe spaces are determined by many things such as weather traffic and the state of the road to ensure speed if it conditions remember at twenty mph the odds of a collision being fatal is one in a thousand adds seventy five mph it is one and two when you come to a school bus that is stopped to let children on or off the bus you must make a complete stop whether you're coming from the opposite direction or travelling in the same direction as the school bus you must remain stopped as long as the school bus displays its flashing warning lights exceptions are they is if you're driving on a highway which are separate roadways divided by a center zone you need not stop for a school bus which is halted on the other roadway but you should exercise special caution you need not stop when meeting a school bus when the latter stopped at an intersection or other place where traffic is controlled and the signals permit you to proceed and all other cases you must opt for a stationary school bus displaying flashing red lights and when you proceed drive extra carefully when you are stopped for a red light wait until the green light comes on then look before you start don't be a signal jumper using a jumping a car ahead into the intersection on the yellow light can cause serious collisions yellow light warns the driver that's a traffic light colors are about to change it means clear the intersection when you see this light you should slow down and stop your car if you can do so without danger to other cars behind you then wait for the green light before starting your car if you jump a signal before it's green on a car driving across your straight in the intersection cannot stop on the yellow light you may be involved in a bad coll the signal jumper doesn't get the jump on other cars a usually jumps into trouble while speeding is a dangerous driving practice failing to keep pace with general flow of traffic and driving at too slow speed creates driving hazards folly is dangerous by increasing the overtaking and passing this is especially tru expressways another high speed traffic andre's if you live behind the knowable traffic stream you will hold up the drivers behind you and tempt them to overtake you even though it may not be entirely safe to do so the road is not yours alone consider your fellow drivers and a vehicle on a roadway going slower than the prevailing speed must be driven as close to the right as is practicable p p s with the traffic or drive close to the right road edge and stay out of the fast lane make your motoring enjoyable for yourself and the other drivers by driving intelligent way the courteous driver is usually the one that avoids collisions over all others i well adjusted mature person makes a good driver because he realizes that driving calls for courtesy and fair play at all times he drives not only from his own point of view but shows consideration for the other drivers when the courteous driver sees a car waiting to come out from a driveway or a side street or an oncoming car waiting to make a left turn in front of them he allows them to proceed instead of causing him to hold up traffic behind him the top notch driver shows self control foresight and good sportsmanship even when caught in a frustrating traffic jam he resist the temptation to use his horn your so this way it does not try to force his way into a seemingly faster lane but waits until the traffic is alleviated a safe driver is alert careful and courteous when driving in built up areas your immediate danger zones extend to the sides and you show joe you're speeding chronicling always being sure of your stopping distance and never over driving and someone may suddenly walk or drive into your path if i was a park on your side danger zones reduce speed and show extra care but that strand stepping out into the street from behind parked cars or children running out while playing creates special driving has it drive as much room between your car and any cars parked along the street as is practicable and proper in some imprudent driver may open the left hand door to get out without first checking to see if it's safe or pull out from the curb without signaling show good judgment decrease speed when inside danger zones exist collisions they overtired drivers license plate a lot of this is sound judgment his reaction time a slow down and he may even those at the wheel collisions are almost sure to follow when they happen because a driver asleep at the wheel they are generally very serious don't drive when you're fatigued if you're a long stop and rest if possible turn the wheel over to someone else the odds for a collision increase as the drive begins to get fatigued don't drive too long a stretch without rest to help out said drowsiness keep plenty of fresh air in the car and gauge in conversation or listen to the radio and drink coffee or strong tea stop occasionally and get out and walk around even a good driver gets tired and a good driver doesn't take chances urban streets have street car or railroad tracks running down the center of the roadway used by motor vehicles are i driving on these tracks always drive over them straddling them they're slippery especially when they're a little wet and they may cause you to skid if you do go into it's good stairs slightly in the direction in which the rear end of your car is getting but do not apply the brakes this might increase your skill and don't overstay there just enough to get off the tracks if you must cross streetcar railroad tracks running in the same direction and what you're driving slow down and make your signal and then cross the tracks at a wide angle always drive extra carefully when the street upon which you are travelling presents special ha will get stuck in my deep snow or sand you may get out by rocking it to rock the car go slowly forward in low gear as far as you can then shift quickly to reverse and back up until the wheels just start to spam repeat these steps rapidly several times rocking back and forth and using a minimum of power to keep the wheels from spinning each successive rod should bring the car a little further out of the hole it's him until you're free if the wheel is merely spend stop rocking you may have to dig out in front wheels and find something in which to create traction under them such as branches stones or even burlap the rocking operation is often successful but it's still better not to get into a position to get stuck in the first place
