visibility and help decrease moisture
drawn into the vehicle.
.Use of non-GM approved hood
deflectors can adversely affect the
performance of the system.
.Keep the path under all seats clear
of objects to help circulate the air
inside the vehicle more effectively.

Defensive driving means “always
expect the unexpected.” The first step
in driving defensively is to wear the
seat belt. See Seat Belts053.
.Assume that other road users
(pedestrians, bicyclists, and other
drivers) are going to be careless and

between you and the driver in front
of you.
.Focus on the task of driving.
Impaired Driving
Death and injury associated with
impaired driving is a global tragedy.

Control of a Vehicle
Braking, steering, and accelerating are
important factors in helping to control
a vehicle while driving.
Braking
Braking action involves perception
time and reaction time. Deciding to
push the brake pedal is perception
time. Actually doing it is
reaction time.
Average driver reaction time is about
three-quarters of a second. In that
time, a vehicle moving at 100 km/h
