Your

Driving

and

the

Road

Turn and lane change signals:

Always signal when you plan to turn or

change lanes.

necessary, you can use hand signals out the window: Left arm straight out

for a left turn, down for slow or about-to-stop, and up for a right turn.

Slowing

down:

If time allows, tap the brake pedal once or twice in advance

of slowing or stopping. This warns the driver behind you.

Disabled:

Your four-way flashers signal that your vehicle is disabled or is a

hazard. See “Hazard Warning Flashers” in the Index.

Traffic

Officer

The traffic police officer is also a source of important information. The officer’s

signals govern, no matter what the traffic lights or other signs say.

The next part discusses some of the road conditions you may encounter.

Defensive Driving

The best advice anyone can give about driving is: Drive defensively.

Please start with a very important safety device in your vehicle: Buckle up.

(See “Safety Belts in the Index.”)

Defensive driving really means “be ready for anything.’’ On city streets, rural

roads, or freeways, it means “always expect the unexpected.”

Assume that pedestrians or other drivers are going to be careless and make

mistakes. Anticipate what they might

do.

Be ready for their mistakes.

Expect children

dash out from behind parked cars, often followed by other

children. Expect occupants in parked cars

open doors into traffic. Watch for

movement in parked cars-someone may be about

open a door.

Expect other drivers

run stop signs when you are on a through street. Be

ready to brake if necessary as you go through intersections. You may not

have to use the brake, but

you

do,

you will be ready.

If you’re driving through a shopping center parking lot where there are

well-marked lanes, directional arrows, and designated parking areas, expect

some drivers to ignore all these markings and dash straight toward one part

of the lot.

Pedestrians can be careless. Watch for them. In general, you must give way

to pedestrians even

you know you have the right of way.

Rear-end collisions are about the most preventable of accidents. Yet they are

common. Allow enough following distance.

It’s

the best defensive driving
