course you want to respect another’s

property, but you might need to put

something between you and moving

vehicles-space, trees, telephone poles,

a private driveway, anything that

removes you from other traffic.

If visibility

is

near zero and you must

stop but are unsure whether you are

away from the road, turn your hghts on,

start your hazard warning flashers, and

sound your horn at intervals or when

you hear approaching traffic.

Pass other vehicles in fog only if you

can see far enough ahead to pass safely.

Even then, be prepared to delay your

pass if you suspect the fog

is

worse up

ahead.

If

other vehicles

try

to pass

you,

make it easy for them.

Cify

Driving

One of the biggest problems with city

streets is the amount of traffic on them.

You’ll want to watch

out

for what the

other drivers are doing and pay

attention to traf€ic signals.

Here are ways to increase your safety in

city driving:

Know

the best way to get to where

you are going.

Try

not to drive around

trying to pick out a familiar street or

landmark. Get

a

city map and plan

your trip into an unlmown part of the

city

just

as you would for a cross-

country trip.

Try

to use the freeways that rim and

crisscross most large cities. You’ll

save time and energy. (See the next

section,

Freway

Driving.)

Treat a green light as a warning

signal.

A

traffic light is there because

the corner is busy enough to need

it.

When a light

turns

green, and just

before you start to move, check both

ways for vehicles that have not

cleared the intersection or may be

running the red light.

Obey all posted speed limits. But

remember that they are for ideal road,

weather and visibility conditions.

You

may need to drive below the posted

limit in bad weather or when visibility

is especially poor.

Pull to the right (with care) and stop

clear of intersections when you see or

hear emergency vehicles.
