stress to avoid an accident.
The following suggestions are intended to
help you cope with the ever changing traffic
environment.

•
your physician about its potential effects
on your driving abilities.
Take a driver-retraining course.

Have your eyes checked regularly.

•
clean.
Replace wiper blades when they start to

weather conditions, particularly with
regard to stopping distance.
