These are special tips to help improve safety regardless of what you drive.

Driver’s Education

•Look for feet and bike wheels under parked cars since the car itself may obscure seeing a child.

•Keep your wheels straight while waiting in a left-turn lane to save you from being pushed into on-coming traffic should you be rear-ended.

My Father

•Don’t let cruise control control you (see chapter “Speeding”).

•Listen to, and obey, your inner-voice. It saved him from a head-on collision.

Getting my Pilot’s License

•You are the pilot in command and, therefore, make the final safety decision.

•Constantly look for a place to land (an escape route).

High Performance Driving Course

•Look as far ahead as you possibly can.

•Steer around a problem instead of braking into it.

Motorcycle Safety Class

•Brake straight whenever possible to reduce the distance and the wear on tires and to increase stability.

•Accurate tire pressure is important for fuel efficiency, tire wear and safe handling.

Driving a 5^th-wheel RV

•Plan far enough in advance to pass so there is enough room to move into the left lane. Otherwise you may have to slow down so much that it is no longer safe for you to pass.

•Have someone that knows what they are doing back it up!
