Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Obey traffic light signals. Drive at or below the posted speed limit. Use your turn signals when you're turning or changing lanes. Yield the right of way to oncoming traffic when they have it. Don't switch lanes when you're in the middle of an intersection. Avoid using the shoulder to pass slow moving or stopped cars. Yield to pedestrians because they have the right of way. Get a ride if you're under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Don't text while you're driving.

Answer: Traffic lights can be super frustrating, especially when you're running behind. However, running a red light is very dangerous because other drivers are expecting you to stop. Go when the traffic light is green, slow down when it's yellow, or stop if it's red. It's tempting to speed up for a yellow light, but it's very dangerous to do so. If you cross the intersection after the light turns red, oncoming cars won't be expecting you and may enter the intersection, as well. However, don't slow down for a yellow light if you're already at the intersection. Doing so may keep you in the intersection longer. You might be tempted to speed to get to your destination faster, but it's not worth the risk. Speed limits are in place to protect you and the other cars on the road. Make sure you always drive at or below the posted speed limit. Some areas have minimum speed limits, as well. Typically, these will be posted on the speed limit sign. If you see a minimum speed limit, drive at least that fast. At times, traffic may be moving at a different speed than the posted speed limit. For instance, it may be moving slower if there's congestion. In this case, match your speed to the traffic. Your turn signal alerts other drivers that you're going to make a move. Turn on your blinker at least 3 seconds before you change lanes or turn. Leave it on until you complete your move. If you're going to be turning left at an intersection that doesn't have a protected left, it's best to turn on your blinker as you approach the intersection. This allows the traffic behind you time to change lanes. Check the signs around you before turning onto a street, crossing an intersection, or merging into traffic. Yield or stop where signs are posted. Wait until it's your turn to go so that you don't risk an accident. When you're at a stop sign, check if it's an all-way stop or if just your road is stopping. If the other road doesn't have a stop sign, you need to wait until traffic is clear to go. You might realize that you need to be in a different lane when you get into an intersection, but it's not safe to change lanes. Since intersections are busy, the risk is higher for an accident. Wait until you're out of the intersection to turn on your blinker and move to the lane you need. It's illegal to change lanes in an intersection in some areas, so you might receive a traffic violation if you do it. Many roads have a shoulder that gives cars a safe place to pull over. While this area might be large enough to drive on, it's not safe or legal to do so. Don't use the shoulder as a passing lane. It's important to keep the shoulder open so that emergency vehicles can use it, if necessary. Typically, there's a reason why traffic is slowing or stopping. For instance, there may be an accident up ahead. Stopping for a pedestrian can be annoying, especially if they're not using a crosswalk. However, pedestrians have the right of way in many places. Plus, you likely don't want to accidentally hurt someone. Play it safe and stop for pedestrians. If you're driving through an area with a lot of foot traffic, go really slow and be watchful for pedestrians. People may not always use the designated crosswalks, so be prepared to stop. Substances like alcohol, recreational drugs, and prescription drugs can reduce your reaction times and make it hard for you to focus. Never get behind the wheel if you're under the influence because you might hurt yourself or others. Instead, take a ride service or get a ride from a friend. It's better to be safe than sorry. Get a ride if you're under the influence of any substance, even if you don't feel impaired. Texting is a distraction that takes your focus off the road. Additionally, it can reduce your reaction times and make it harder for you to stop for slowed traffic or hazards. Put your phone on silent and store it while you're driving. Keep your phone in your bag, console, or trunk so you're less tempted to use it while you're driving.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Start with basic designs. Get creative with your projects. Trim the yarn to the desired length. Use two strands of yarn at once.

Answer:
When you're first learning how to latch hook, it's best to keep things simple. Try following a template for your first few project to get an idea of how the yarn looks on the canvas. From there, you can move on to freehand shapes like lines and circles a shot. As you improve, you'll learn to produce more complex patterns and contours and begin producing your own unique designs. These could be anything from formless swaths of color to distinct patterns like stripes, spirals, waves, and rainbows. Advanced latch hookers have even been known to weave detailed portraits and scenes. Don't be afraid to be abstractexperiment with yarn placement and weave whatever patterns your eye suggests. It can be helpful to think of the canvas squares as a guide for forming precise edges and curves, similar to drafting paper. Rather than spending hours cutting the yarn to size before you make a single knot, wait until your design comes together, then snip the strands wherever you want them to be shorter. Touching up your work after the fact will offer you more control, as it allows you to make just as much of an adjustment as you need instead of being forced to guess at the right length. Trimming the strands to different lengths can lend added texture and dimension to your finished project. Wrapping, threading, and knotting one strand after another can take all day. By doubling up your yarn, you also stand to double your speed. Line up two separate pieces of the same length, then knot them as you ordinarily would, being careful not to let the two strands overlap in the process. Since you'll have an extra strand to deal with, you'll need to work carefully to avoid mistakes. This method can be especially useful when you're covering a large area with a single color.
