City Driving - JMC JIMMY 1993 Owner's Manual

something between you and moving vehicles-space, trees, telephone poles,
a private driveway, anything that removes you from other traffic.
If visibility is near zero and you
must stop but are unsure whether you are
away from the road, turn your lights on, start your hazard warning flasher,
and sound your horn at intervals or when you hear approaching traffic.
Pass other vehicles in fog only if you can see far enough ahead to pass
safely. Even then, be prepared to delay your pass if you suspect the fog is
worse up ahead. If other vehicles try to pass you, make
it
easy for them.

One of the biggest problems with city streets is the amount of traffic on
.
them. You'll want to watch out for what the other drivers are doing, and pay
attention to traffic signals.
Here are ways to increase your safety in city driving:
Know the best way
to
get to where you are going.
Try
not to drive
around trying
to
pick out a familiar street or landmark. Get a city map
and plan your trip into an unknown part of the city just as you would for
a cross-country trip.
Try to use the freeways that rim and crisscross most large cities. You'll
save time and energy. (See the next section, "Freeway Driving.")
Treat
a
green light as a warning signal. A traffic light is there because
the corner is busy enough to need it. When a light turns green, and just
before you start
to
move, check both ways for vehicles that have not
cleared
the
intersection
or
may be running the red light.
