Your Driving and the Road
Defensive Driving
The best advice anyone can give about
driving
is: Drive defensively.
Please start with
a very important safety
device
in your Corvette: Buckle up.
(See the Index under Safety Belts,)
Defensive driving redy means “be
ready for
anything.” On city streets,
rural roads,
or freeways, it ‘means
“always expect the unexpected.“’
Assume that pedestrians or other
drivers
are going to be, careless and
make mistakes. Anticipate what they
might do.
Be ready for their mistakes.
Expect children to dash out
from
behind parked cars, often followed by
other children. Expect occupants in
parked cars to open doors into traffic.
Watch for movement in parked cars-
someone may be about to open a door.
I68
Expect other drivers to run stop signs
when
you are on a through street. Be
ready to brake if necessary as you gd
through intersections. You may not
have to use the brake, but if you do, you
will be ready.
If you’re driving
through a shopping
center parking lot where there are well-
marked lanes, dectional
arrows, and
designated parking areas, expect some drivers to ignore all these makings and
dash straight toward one
part of the ,lot.
Pedestrians can be careless. Watch for
them. In general, you must give way to
pedestrians even
if you lmow you have
the right of
way.
Rear-end collisions are about the most
preventable
of accidents. Yet they are
common.
Allow enough following
distance. It’s the best defensive
driving
maneuver, in both. city-and rural
driving. You never kmw.when the
vehicle in front
of you is going to brake
or turn suddenly.
Here’s a
final bit of information about
defensive driving.
The most dangerous
time
for driving in the U.S . is very early
on Sunday morning, In fact,
GM
Research studies show that the most
and the least dangerous times for
driving, every week, fall on the same
day. That day is Sunday. The most
dangerous
time is Sunday from 3 a.m.
to 4 a.m. The safest time is Sunday &om
10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Driving the same
distance on a Sunday at 3 a.m. isn’t just
a little more dangerous than it is
at 10
am. It’s about 134 times more
dangerous!
That leads to the
next section.
