Treat dense
fog as an emergency. Try
to
find a place
to pull off
the road. Of
course you want
to
respectanother’sproperty,butyoumightneedtoput
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
awayfromtheroad,turnyourlightson,startyourhazardwarningflasher,
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.
City
Driving
AN460003
Oneof
the biggest problems with city streets
is the amount
of
traffic on them.
You’llwant
to
watch out for what the other drivers are doing,
and pay
attention to traffic signals.
Here are ways
to
increase your safety
in citydriving:
Know
the best way
to
get
to
whereyouaregoing.Trynot
to
drive
around trying
to
pick out a familiar street or
landmark. Get
a city map
and plan your trip
into an unknown part
of
the city
just as you would for
a cross-country trip.
Try

You’ll
save
time and energy. (See
the next section, “Freeway Driving.”)
