Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Remove all distractions. Drive defensively Plan your driving times to avoid heavy traffic. Pay attention to heavy traffic in the distance. Use lower gears to improve your engine efficiency. Allow a two second distance between you and traffic in front of you. Drive at or 5mph (8.0km/h) below the speed limit, even on a highway. Prepare yourself for emergency manoeuvres. Leave the freeway if you feel too uncomfortable.

Answer: In heavy traffic conditions, the road will be crowded with cars, the flow of traffic irregular, and people will start getting impatient, leading to them trying to merge where they likely shouldn't. The last thing you need is a distraction preventing you from paying attention to these things. Limit your distractions by: Turning off your cell phone, or putting it on silent mode. Switching off your music, or turning the volume down. Telling your passengers to quieten down until you're free of dense traffic. . Defensive driving covers a wide range of skills you should employ to prevent dangerous situations on the road before these occur. You should plan for ways you can react in an emergency situation, like if another vehicle were to try and merge into you. In addition to this, you should also: Keep your eyes scanning traffic and road conditions. Identify vehicles that appear unsafe, such as those that are erratically merging across lanes, speeding dangerously, or drifting within a lane. Follow the flow of traffic. Signal before making a turn or merging into a lane. Allow plenty of space between you and other vehicles/structures. Never drive while tired or emotionally agitated. In many cases, even leaving fifteen minutes before the start or after the end of rush hour can dramatically decrease the flow of traffic on your drive. Though the worst times for traffic (rush hour) will vary according to where you live, generally you can expect it to be heaviest between 08:00-09:00, and 17:00-18:00. When you are approaching a crowded section of road, you should take your foot of the accelerator and coast forward, allowing friction to slow your vehicle. This will moderate your speed while saving you fuel. Depending on your distance, you may also need to brake to slow down to an acceptable speed when approaching heavy traffic. By slowing your speed, there is a chance that the heavy traffic will break up before you reach it. This constant, slower speed will save you fuel and create less potential for accidents. Even in automatic cars, where you don't normally have to shift out of drive except to park or move in reverse, there are sometimes lower gear settings. These are usually noted on your gearstick by the letter "D" followed by a number, like D2 or D3. D3 or 3 is normally used for stop and go driving. D2, 2, or S (which stands for 'slow') locks your car into second gear, which can be useful if you are driving up or down a steep hill. Lower gears will also brake more quickly due to naturally occurring "engine braking." You should gauge how many seconds of distance is between you and the next car ahead. Do this by picking a feature, like a road sign, and saying the phrase "only a fool breaks the two second rule" as the vehicle in front passes the sign. When your car is even with the sign stop counting. The number you have stopped counting on represents how many seconds of distance is between you and the car in front of you. Adjust your speed accordingly. More time between you and the car in front will mean more reaction time in the event of sudden braking or some other emergency. It's important that you feel safe when driving, and this might mean you need to drive a little slower than the flow of traffic. However, driving too slow can make other drivers around you impatient, leading to dangerous driving situations. The speed of stop-and-go traffic will be greatly reduced, meaning that if you or another car do actually collide, the damage will likely be minimal and not physically serious. Impatient drivers can make poor decisions that might require you to take drastic action to prevent an accident from occurring. In some cases, you may have to merge out of your lane and onto a shoulder. Keep your eyes scanning traffic, the shoulder of the road, and potential places you might direct your car in the event that you have to make emergency manoeuvres. Your emotional state has an effect on your driving ability, and extreme anxiety can negatively impact your ability to handle heavy traffic. If you ever feel too overwhelmed by a driving situation, you should: Exit the freeway and take a break at a rest stop until you've calmed down or the roads are quieter. Turn on your emergency lights and pull well over to the side of the shoulder of the road. Relax a little bit and listen to some music until you are more comfortable with the flow of traffic.

Answer: To hide cuts, scrapes, or scratches, purchase concealer makeup and an angled eyeliner brush (available at pharmacies or beauty supply stores). Apply the concealer with the brush just along the cut, making the line as fine as possible. Apply a light dusting of translucent powder over the area to set the makeup and prevent it from rubbing off. Always use a clean brush and only apply makeup to a closed wound. Clothing is one of the simplest and most effective ways to cover up cuts on your body. Long sleeves and pants (or long skirts) will hide cuts or scrapes while they heal. In warm weather, balance your outfit by wearing less-covering items of clothing on areas of your body that do not have blemishes. For instance, if you wear longs sleeves to hide cuts or scrapes on your arms, wear shorts to balance out your look. Be sure that your clothing is loose enough to give your cuts space to heal. Temporary tattoos can be a fun way to cover your cuts once they have closed over. Purchase temporary tattoos at a beauty supply store or make your own temporary tattoos using eyeliner. After a few days, be sure to remove temporary tattoos as gently as possible with a gentle soap and water. To hide your cuts in plain sight, make your own colorful bandages with decorative tape (available at craft stores or online). Attach a strip of colorful tape to the non-adhesive side of the bandage and trim away the excess tape around the edges. Apply it to your cut as you would a regular band-aid.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consider how much drainage you'll need when constructing the floor and walls. Tramp down a thick layer of gravel for easy, cost-effective flooring. Build a simple wood floor for a professional looking shower. Use plywood or corrugated metal sheets with wooden posts for a simple, customizable wall. Purchase pre-built outdoor shower walls for a professional, easy finish. Use a curved shower curtain to build an easy wall around your shower. Stain and finish any wood so that it is waterproof.

Answer:
If you're only running cold water to your shower, chances are good you won't be spending hours getting wet. As such, drainage should not be a major concern. Still, you need some layer between your feet and the ground, otherwise you'll end up with dirty, muddy feet after every shower. Gravel is by far the most common bottom for outdoor showers. It is easy to install, looks good, and naturally drains away water if you take shorter showers. You can buy gravel, river pebbles, or small stone mixes depending on your aesthetic desires. To effectively install a gravel floor: Smooth out the flooring the best you can. Lay down your stones around the shower. For a more professional look, use half-buried 2x4s to create a simple enclosure around your shower that will hold the gravel in. Use a tamper to press the gravel tightly together, leaving you with a smooth, regular floor. You'll need one 8-foot 4x4" piece of wood and one 8-foot 1x4" piece, both pressure treated. You'll use the first piece to build a square base for your floor, and the second piece to put together the drainable flooring. For a cheap, pre-made alternative, consider using a wooden pallet. Cut one of the 4x4's into 4 even pieces, then screw them together into a simple square frame. Cut a 1x4" into 7 individual pieces, each 26-1/2" long. Place your 7 pieces onto your board starting on the edge, each piece parallel to the next. Leave a 1/4" space between each board for water to drain through. Screw the floorboards into the wooden frame. The easiest way to make a shower wall is to set up four more posts (identical to the one holding up your piping) in the ground, then nail plywood sheets to the posts as walls. You can then attach decorative shingles, paint or stain the plywood, or add a door/curtain instead of wood for one of the sides. You can get a set of outdoor shower walls from a variety of places, and there are a lot of different sets out there that can make your life much easier. However, these sets can run up to $1,000, so it may be more cost-effective to build your own walls instead. This strategy, of course, only works if your shower is attached to a wall or fence. That said, a simple curved shower rod can cover up the other 3 sides and leave you an easy, breezy outdoor shower experience. An outdoor shower will be up against the elements, and regular water will warp and ruin wood if you don't take precautions. Use an outdoor sealant and finisher to protect your shower for years to come.
