City Driving
(continued)
Taking
risks in making left turns, driving without both hands on
the wheel, not giving the proper turn signal within the
required 100 feet of an intersection, driving too fast for
existing road conditions, tailgating and rude behavior,
talking on cell phones, putting on makeup or adjusting GPS
are typical urban driving no no’s. You've probably
observed them all. You may even be guilty of some of them
yourself. But keep in mind, you may be stopped by the police
and given a ticket. Or worse, you could be killed or seriously
injured.
So always use good
judgment in urban traffic, and err on the side of caution.
Obey all traffic laws and procedures, and prepare in advance
the route you will take. Recognize the limits and abilities
of your vehicle, and keep it suitably maintained. Drive
courteously, and enjoy the city.
