[QUOTE="menotyou, post: 894432, member: 24535"] 1) Starting up at Intersection Look left, right, and left. Check rear view mirrors. 2)When stopped in traffic When stopped in traffic, a car length of space is required from the vehicle ahead. This will allow enough space to pull your car around the vehicle ahead if it should stall and will give you an instant cushion if it should make a turn. 3) Count one-two-three after the vehicle ahead has started to move. This step is to be followed when stopped at an intersection behind another vehicle. Check rear view mirrors. 4)Four to six seconds following time for speeds under 30; 6-8 seconds for speeds over 30 mph. This is to keep you from getting a fixation on the car ahead and to allow time to obtain and hold the proper eye-lead time. 5) Use of mirrors. As a rule of thumb, once every 5-8 seconds. 6)Scan steering wheels Look and see whether or not cars at the curb are occupied. this is the only time they are a threat. If they are occupied the driver is probably about to exit from the car or pull from the curb. 7)Stale green light. The point of decision is an imaginary line that you set up between your vehicle and the crosswalk when you are approaching an intersection with a stale green light. Since you are not sure of the light, you must be sure of the point behind which you will stop if the light should start to change. This helps you get the big picture. 8)Eight to twelve seconds eye-lead time. This is the best was to keep you eyes ahead of your wheels and is the depth at which your eyes should be focused most of the time. 9)Pulling from the curb Glance over left shoulder when pulling from curb. 10)Eye Contact When you must depend on anyone along the edge of your driving 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 communication tools when you do not have eye contact. Proper use of the horn to express friendly messages seem in many instances to be a lost art. Only when you have eye contact can you expect the other person to act in a reasonable manner to avoid a dangerous situation. [/QUOTE]
