WHEN PARKED
Don't invite theft by leaving your car unlocked or leaving
val'uable articles in view. Never leave chidren unattended in
the automobile where they could accidentally release the
brake or activate other controls.
IN TRAFFIC
Study and understand surrounding traffic conditions before
slowing, passing, turning or lane-changing, so you won't run
into the unexpected. Maintain proper spacing, and check
rearward conditions too.
When the light turns green, make sure cross-wise traffic has
stopped before starting up .
Anticipate your next move and signal your intention at a
reasonable time to the drivers around you.
DRIVING AT NIGHT
Remember to remove sun glasses at dusk and at other times
when the lighting is poor;
Be especially alert for pedestrians and unlighted vehicles at
dusk and after dark .
Use "low beam" when approaching or following other cars,
and look slightly to the right of oncoming lights.
Even properly aimed head lamps may cause annoying glare if
the car is heavily I'oaded in the trunk. Distribute the load in
your car as evenly as possible to avoid blinding other drivers.
Turn on your headlamps at early dusk, and during bad
weather, to help other drivers see your car.
