(N.J.S.A. 39:3-11a)- Hearing-Impaired Designation

HEADLIGHTS
Bright and dim lights must work and be properly aligned. A motorist can check them against a garage wall or on parked vehicles. Lights should be kept clean. If other motorists flash their lights while another motorist's lights are on low beam, it could be that the lights are out of line.
TIPS FOR SEAT BELT SAFETY
Buckle up with both lap and shoulder belts on every trip. (Air bags are supplemental protection for drivers.) • Wear the lap belt under the abdomen and low across the hips. The shoulder portion should come over the collar bone, away from the neck, and cross over the breastbone. The shoulder belt in most new vehicles can be adjusted on the side pillar to improve fit. • Know how to adjust the seat belts and how to release them if motorists/ passengers have to quickly get out of the vehicle. • Buckle up if riding in the backseat; use center seat belts if those seats are used. Seat belts help prevent riders from falling forward. • Never put more than one person in one belt.

BRAKES
A motorist should be able to brake smoothly and quickly. If the vehicle pulls to one side when it stops or a motorist feels a taut pedal or hears an unusual squealing or grinding, the brakes must be checked. With conventional disc and drum brakes, a motorist should pump them gently after driving through water to test them and dry them out. If the brakes are hit hard, they could lock up. A motorist should be able to stop within 25 feet at 20 mph. This can be tried in an empty parking lot. Chalk marks can be made on the surface to see if the vehicle can stop within that distance. If a vehicle has an anti-lock braking system (ABS), the brakes can be tested by applying steady pressure to the brake pedal. A motorist should never pump an ABS or jerk the steering wheel when braking. On very soft surfaces, such as loose gravel or unpacked snow, an ABS system may lengthen stopping distance. In wet or slippery conditions, a motorist should still drive carefully, always keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front and maintain a speed consistent with the road conditions.

Airbags
Air bags inflate at speeds of up to 200 mph to protect adults in a front-end crash. An average-sized adult who is correctly belted is not likely to encounter the air bag until it is fully inflated. When air bags are combined with lap/shoulder seat belts, they have saved many adult lives and prevented many injuries in motor vehicle crashes. However, air bags could seriously injure or kill children who are sitting in the front seat.

. Seat belts help in many ways, for example
They keep motorists and passengers from being thrown from the vehicle in a crash. If a motorist/passenger is held in place, any injury may be less severe. Page 40 DRIVER RESPONSIBILITY • They slow a body down with the vehicle. If a vehicle hits something, the vehicle stops, but the person keeps going at the same speed that the vehicle was moving. Hitting the dashboard or windshield at 30 mph is like falling from the top of a three-story building. • They keep a motorist/passenger from sliding on the seat during sudden stops and turns. Belts and straps also keep a motorist in position so he/ she can control the vehicle.
