1. Before getting in your car each day or even once a week; walk around your car check your lights to make sure they are functioning properly, check you turn signals, and the fluid levels in your car.
2. Before you start your car after someone else has driven it, adjust your seat and all your mirrors, so everything fits to you.
3. Always out on your seat-belt and have your passengers buckle up also.
4. Its a good idea to drive with your headlights on even during the day, it makes it a lot easier for oncoming traffic to see you from a further distance.
5. Come to a complete stop at each stop sign. Count to 3 slowly to give yourself and others time to stop. Look in all directions before you drive through the intersection.
6. When you are at a stop light and the light turns green check all directions before pulling out. You wouldn’t want someone trying to beat the yellow light to hit you as you slowly pull through.
7. If you are driving on a two lane road that has a parking area on the right hand side try to stay to the center or the road to prohibit another driver from opening their door in front of your car and you hitting it.
8. Each time you stop for gas check your fluid levels in your car such as: oil, brakes, and transmission fluids.
9. If you happen to stall your car in the road, do not leave your car there, even if someone tries to talk you into it. Try to safely move your car out of harms away and call for help.
10. If you are in traffic try to stay at least 3 to 4 seconds behind the car in-front of you. You can check your distance by finding something on the side of the road that is not moving like a street sign or a bridge. When the car ahead of you passes your object cunt to see how many seconds it takes you to pass the object. If it is less then 4 back off or slow down a little bit.
11. If you see flashing lights from an unmarked police car, do not pull over until you get to a public area or a local police station. If this happens just turn on your hazard lights, slow down, and get to a public place.
