Motor Vehicle Safety Tips.
1. When on a straight road keep your hands
on the vehicals steering wheel at 9 and 3 o-clock
angles respectively.
2. Always pay the most attention to the road a head of
you, if at an innersection (without lights) look at the streets on your sides before going, and make sure you have
the right of way.
3. In snowy winters slow down and steer gently so that
you don't slide on any ice (which can be clear enough for you to not see it). Also it's not a good idea to drive backwards
in the snow ( front, rear, four wheel drive all equally dangerous). Also give yourself extra time before you
leave to scrape off your car.
4. Go slowly in towns, since most will have a few crosswalks,
or innersections.
5. When going down a hill have a firm grip on the wheel, and
be ready to slow down, the hill may curve at points.
6. Try to stay atleast 1 1/2 car lenghts behind the car infront
of you (unless your passing), so you have enough room to slow down if something happens.
7. If on a motorcycle, or even
a bicycle always wear a helmet even if your hair gets messed up(better this than brain mush).
