Your Driving
and
the
Road
Defensive Driving
The best
advice anyone can give about
driving
is:
Drive
defensively.
Please start with a
very
important safety
device in your
Chevrolet:
Buclde
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 mistaltes.
Rear-end
collisions are
about
the most
preventable of accidents. Yet they are
common.
Allow enough following
distance. It’s the best
defensive
driving
maneuver, in
both city and rural
driving. You never
know when the
vehicle in front of you is going
to
brake
or turn suddenly.
I
Drunken
Driving
Death and injury
associated with
drinking and driving is a national
tragedy. It’s the number one contributor
to the highway death toll,
claiming
thousands of victims
every
year.
Alcohol takes away three things that
anyone needs to drive
a
vehicle:
Judgment
Muscular Coordination
Vision
Police records show that almost half
of
all motor vehicle-related deaths involve
alcohol
-
a
driver,
a
passenger
or
someone else, such as a pedestrian, had
been
drinking.In most
cases, these
deaths are
the
result of someone who
was drinking and driving. About
20,000
motor vehicle-related deaths occur each
year
because
of
alcohol, and thousands
of people are injured.
Just how
much
alcohol
is too much if a
person plans to drive?
Ideally,no
one
should drink alcohol and then drive.
But
if
one does, then what’s “too
much”?
It
can be
a lot less than many
might think. Although it depends on
each person and situation, here is some
general information on the problem.
The Blood
AlcoholContent (BAC)
of
someone who is drinking depends upon
four things:
How
much
alcohol
is
in
the drink.
The drinker’s body
weight.
The amount of food that
is
consumed
before and during drinking.
The length of time it has taken
the
drinker to consume the alcohol.
