telephone
poles, a private
driveway, anything
that
removes
you
from other traffic.

near
zero
and

whether
you are away from
thle road,
turn

Pass Qthet 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
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
traffic
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
unknown
part
of
the
city just as
you
would
for a
cross-country
trip.
