How should one adjust the driver's seat?

Prior to entering the vehicle, check tire pressure using the recommended psi (pounds per square inch) located in the vehicle owner's manual or the driver's side door jamb of the vehicle. Use a tire pressure gauge to check your psi. Check your tires "cold" - before you've driven or at least three hours after you've driven. If your psi is above the number listed on your door jamb, let air out until it matches. If below, add air (or have a tire professional help you) until it reaches the proper number. You may also measure tread depth using the penny test. Once every month, or before you embark upon a long road trip, check your tires for wear and damage problems. One easy way to check for wear is by using the penny test. 1. Take a penny and hold Abraham Lincoln's body between your thumb and forefinger. 2. Select a point on your tire where the tread appears to be lowest and place Lincoln's head into one of the grooves. 3. If any part of Lincoln's head is covered by the tread, you're driving with the safe amount of tread. If your tread gets below that, your car's ability to grip the road in adverse conditions is greatly reduced.

managing space

If another driver near you makes a mistake, you will need time to react to the situation. The only way to be sure you will have enough time to react is to leave plenty of space between you and the vehicles around you. • As shown in the diagram to the right, there are six (6) areas of space around your vehicle you must be able to manage. • It is best to keep a space cushion on all sides of your vehicle.

4-SECOND RULE

KEEP A SPACE CUSHION AHEAD (4-SECOND RULE) • What is a safe following distance? A 4-second following distance, as shown above in Area 1 of the space management diagram, will allow you to steer or brake to avoid a hazard safely on the highway, if the pavement is dry. • If you are following too closely and the vehicle ahead of you stops or slows suddenly, you will not be able to avoid a crash. • Keeping a safe following distance will enable you to react to a problem ahead without the need for a panic stop, which could cause a following driver to crash into the back of your vehicle. • To determine your following distance, watch the rear bumper of the vehicle ahead of you. When the bumper passes a road marking or a roadside object like a telephone pole, start counting how many seconds it takes you to reach the same spot on the road. If you pass the marking or object in less than four (4) seconds, you are following too closely. Sometimes you will need extra space ahead of you. Allow a longer following distance than usual when: • Traveling on roads that are wet and slippery, or not paved - there is less traction, so it takes longer to stop. • The driver behind you wants to pass - there must be room ahead of you for the passing driver to pull in front of you. • You are following a driver whose rear view is blocked - drivers of trucks, buses, vans, or cars pulling campers or trailers may slow down suddenly without knowing you are behind them. • You are following a large vehicle blocking your view ahead - you need extra room to see around the vehicle. • You are following a driver who is carrying a heavy load or pulling a trailer - the extra weight will make it more difficult to stop. • Approaching slow moving vehicles, including bicycles. • You are following school buses, taxis, public and private buses and trucks transporting hazardous substances these vehicles must stop at railroad crossings and make other, unexpected stops. • You are driving downhill - it is harder for your brakes to slow your vehicle, especially at high speeds. • You are stopped on an uphill - the vehicle ahead may roll back into your vehicle when traffic begins to move.

Why should one adjust the driver's seat?

To remove blind spots around your vehicle, the rearview and side mirrors may have to be adjusted differently for each driver. The rearview mirror should be set so you can see the traffic directly behind your vehicle. The side mirror(s) should be set so when you lean left/right you can just barely see the side of your vehicle. Set the mirrors after you adjust your seat.

Why should one adjust the rearview and side mirrors?

You should maintain a constant supply of fresh air in your vehicle. This helps you stay alert and guards against carbon monoxide (exhaust gas) poisoning when you drive.

Why should one adjust ventilation in a car?

Locking your doors and wearing your seat belt will help to ensure you will not be thrown from your vehicle in a crash. Being thrown from a vehicle increases your chances of death by 75 percent. It will also reduce the likelihood of being carjacked or otherwise victimized when you stop at an intersection or pull into a parking lot.

Why should one lock the doors?

It is against the law to place anything on the front windshield that blocks a driver's view of the roadway.

Why should one make sure there is nothing on the windshield?
