YOUR DRIVING AND THE ROAD
II
Here you’ll find information about driving on different kinds of roads and
in varying weather conditions. We’ve also included many other useful tips
on driving.
DEFENSIVE DRIVTNG
The best advice anyone can give about driving is: Drive defensively.
Please start with a very important safety device in your Cadillac: Buckle
up. (See “Safety Belts” in the Index.)
Defensive driving really 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 the\
ir
mistakes.

The Blood AlcohoKontent (BAC) of someone who is drinking..depends
upon four things:
0 How much alcohol is in the drink.
0 The drinker’s body weight.
The amount of food th,at is consumed before and during drinking.
0 The length of time it has taken the drinker to consume the alcohol.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine According to the American Medical Association, a 180-pound (82 kg)
person who drinks three 12-ounce
(355 ml) bottles of beer in an hour will
end up with a BAC of about 0.06 percent. The person would reach the
same BAC by drinking three 4-ounce (120 ml) glasses of wine or three
mixed drinks
if each had 1-1/2 ounces (45 ml) of a liquor like whiskey, gin
or vodka.
It’s the amount of alcohol that counts. For example,
if the same person
drank three double martinis
(3 ounces or 90 ml of liquor each) within an
hour, the person’s
BAC would be close to 0.12 percent. A person who
consumes food just before or during drinking
will have a slightly lower
BAC level.
