[QUOTE="ibleedbrown, post: 1119844, member: 35818"] if its not too much to ask that would be cool. this is what they gave me. 1. starting up at an intersection. look left right and left check rear view mirrors 2. when stopped in traffic a car length of space is required from the vehicle ahead. this allows you room to pull around the vehicle ahead if it should stall and gives you an instant cushion should it make a turn. 3. count 1,2,3 after vehicle ahead has started to move this is done when stopped in traffic at an intersection behind another vehicle. check rear view mirrors check rear view mirrors, count 1001,1002,1003 after it starts to move. helps you to get a car length of space behind the vehicle ahead. 4. 4-6 seconds following time for speeds under 30mph 6-8 seconds for speeds over 30mph helps keep you from getting a fixation on the vehicle ahead and helps to maintain and hold the proper eye lead time. 5. 8-12 seconds eye lead time this is the best way to keep your eyes ahead of your wheels and is the depth at which your eyes should be focused the majority of the time. take the path of least resistance. 6. scan steering wheels of parked cars to see if they are occupied. check to see if cars parked on the curb are occupied. this is the only time they area danger to you. if they are occupied the driver is likely to pull from the curb or exit the vehicle. 7. stale green lights the point of decision is an imaginary line you set up between your vehicle and the crosswalk when approaching a stale green light. since you do not know if the light should turn red you must be certain of the point behind that you must stop if the light should change. helps you get the big picture. 8. eye contact. when you must depend on people along the edge of your path to stay put until you are past the danger point it is imperative that you get their attention. the horn and lights are your tools when you do not have eye contact, only when you have eye contact can you be sure that they will act in a reasonably predictable manner to avoid a dangerous situation. the use of the horn to convey a friendly message seems to be a lost art. communicate in traffic use your horn, lights and signals 9. pulling from curb when pulling from curb glance over your left shoulder. lll left signal, left mirror, left blind spot. 10. use of mirrors as a rule of thumb every 5-8 seconds.
