To turn around on a narrow, two-way street, you may make

A three point turn: If the street is too narrow for you to make a U-turn, you can turn your vehicle around by making a three-point turn. This maneuver will also put you in the opposite direction. You may make a three-point turn only when the street is narrow, there is good visibility, the traffic is light on both sides of the street, the turn is permitted there, and there is no other option.

In New York State, which occupants of a vehicle must wear seat belts or suitable child restraints?

All rear- seat occupants under 16 and all front-seat occupants: New York State law requires all passengers under the age of 16 to wear seat belts or suitable child restraints. Also, all front-seat occupants (including the driver) must wear seat belts. Still, even adults in the rear seat should consider wearing seat belts. A study conducted in 2015 by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the Children's Hospital of Philadephia found that unrestrained rear-seat occupants were nearly eight times as likely to sustain a serious injury in a crash as restrained rear-seat occupants.

In heavy rain, your vehicle's tires can ride on a film of water and lose contact with the road. This hazard is known as

Hydroplanning: On a wet road, at speeds of up to 35 mph, modern tires will usually channel water away to maintain contact with the road. However, in deep water at higher speeds, the channeling action of the tires becomes less effective and the tires start to ride on a layer of water like water skis. This is called "hydroplaning." At 50 mph or above, hydroplaning may result in a total loss of braking and steering control. To prevent hydroplaning, slow down.

For better visibility during rain, fog and snow, use

Low beam headlights

Slow down and prepare for traffic

For an adequate space cushion between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you, you should use the

Two- second rule: Four out of every ten crashes are rear-end collisions. And the main cause of rear-end collisions is tailgating (following too closely). For an adequate space cushion between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you, the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles Driver Manual recommends the two-second rule: At least two seconds should elapse from when the vehicle ahead of you passes some stationary object to when you reach that same object. Under poor or hazardous driving conditions, increase your space cushion to three or even four seconds.

If you are being tailgated, you should

slow down and pull off the road if necessary
