for what the other drivers are doing and
pay attention to traffic signals.

Here are ways to increase your safety in city driving:

Know the best way to get to where you are going. Get a city map and
plan your trip into an unknown part of
the city just as you would for a
cross-country trip.
Try to use the freeways that rim and crisscross most large cities. You’ll
save time and energy. (See the next part, “Freeway Driving.”)
Treat a green light as a warning signal.
A traffic light is there because
the corner is busy enough to need it. When a light turns green, and just
before you start to move, check both ways for vehicles that have not
cleared the intersection or may be running the red light.

antifreeze that meets
“GM Specification 1825M,” which won’t damage
aluminum parts. You can also use a recycled coolant conforming to GM

refill. If you use this mixture,
you don’t need to add anything else.
