Explain two ways you can check the traffic behind you while on the roadway.

To separate multiple risks is when two or more different potential dangers are coming at you and instead of trying to deal with them all at the same time you separate them. An example would be if you were coming upon a narrow bridge and a car, going the opposite way, was approaching as well.

Learned and can be changed

Emotional responses are:

Two ways that you can control your emotions while driving are; you can expect drivers to make mistakes (they might have some sort of distracting or emotional things happening to them so being prepared and understanding what someone else may be going through can eliminate the need to get emotional at their actions). Another thing you can do is take a break from driving; taking a short walk after pulling over your vehicle or try to control your breathing. Doing these simple tasks can help calm you down enough to finish driving to where you're going without getting upset and putting you and drivers around you in danger.

Explain at least two ways that you can control your emotions when driving.

Two easy things you can do to reduce the chances of your vehicle hydroplaning are: slow down if excessive water is present and/or keep the proper amount of air in your tires at all time. Another thing you can do is replace your tires if they are very old and have become well-worn.

Three things you can do to improve visibility while driving with special conditions such as the ones listed above are; make sure your headlights are in tip-top shape. They can be very useful tools, but only if cleaned and on the proper setting for every particular situation. Another thing you can do is slow down. This can allow you more time to take in the scene around you and give you more time to react. Last but not least, don't look directly into the headlights of other driver's vehicles. This can lead to you steering toward them or becoming fatigued by the brightness. Instead, look at the fog line to the right of your vehicle until the car with the blinding headlights has pasted you.

Name at least three things you can do to improve visibility in adverse driving conditions like night time driving, fog, rain, or snow.
