3  Improves your chance of surviving a crash by 60%  Keep passengers from being thrown from car in a collision  Prevent passengers from hitting dashboard or windshield in a collision – and slows body down after a collision. (Hitting dashboard at 30mph is like falling off top of a 3 story building)  Keep passengers and Drivers from sliding on the seat during stops and turns  What killed Richard… What killed Richard…

4  Child car safety seats should be placed in back seat.  If not back seat, place in front, but move front seat far away from dashboard  Children 12 and under should ride in the back seat of a vehicle

5 Never place a rear-facing infant safety seat in the front seat of a vehicle that has a passenger airbag.  An infant seat should not face forward.

6  Children 8 years or younger, who weigh less than 80 lbs must be buckled into an approved car or booster seat.  Children under 8 but over 80lbs Must be in a rear seat but use a Seat belt at all times

8  Check these before driving:  Reverse lights  Brakes – You should be able to stop within 25feet at 20 mph. Do not pump Anti-Lock Brakes!!  Brake Lights  Headlights  The Horn  Taillights  Tires  Turn Signals  The Windshield

9  Check behind and in front of car  Make windows are clean, and line of sight is clear  Adjust seat to your size  Adjust mirrors to reduce blind spots  Fasten seatbelts  Make sure car is in park, or neutral gear`

10 Tips:  Keep good posture  95% of all information necessary for safe driving is visual information  Check blindspots and for less conspicuous vehicles such as bicycles or motorcycles

11  Keep car in center of lane  Keep to right of a two-lane road with oncoming traffic in the other lane

12  When driving in curve, your vehicle tends to go STRAIGHT. 93  Keep proper grip on wheel and turn accordingly  Hands should be at 9 and 3 o’clock.

13 There is no formula, but is based on several factors:  Individual reaction time  Weather and road conditions  Vehicle weight  Brake conditions  Condition and type of tires  Roadway conditions  Speed  Never Drink… Never Drink…

14  Examples from chart on page 24: If you are traveling at 30 mph It will take you 33 feet before you can react To come to a complete stop will be another 55 feet. So, it will be a total of 88 feet minimum to come to a complete stop if you are going at 30 MPH When driving at 60mph, it will take you 300 feet to come to a complete stop.!!!!!! 5 K Difference

15  Do not violently push or slam on brake!! (cause vehicle to jerk and wears out brakes and tires prematurely)  Apply Gentle pressure to the brake and always use RIGHT foot for the brake  With Anti-Lock-Brakes, do not pump the brake (It could cause you go to out of control)

16

17  Signal 100 feet before a turn  Know correct hand signals! Left arm straight out = left turn Left arm pointed up = right turn Left arm pointed down = STOP (Another signal to use is the horn when passing, but not in a residential or business district)

18  Steering the wheel to the right moves the car to the right  Steering the wheel to the left moves the car to the left Place RIGHT hand and arm behind passenger seat when turning!!

19  When driving in reverse, front of car swings in opposite direction!!  Do not depend on mirrors alone!!

20  1. Parking on a hill facing downhill, TURN WHEEL TOWARDS CURB  2. Parking on a hill facing uphill TURN WHEEL AWAY FROM CURB
