Remember your stopping distance, keep a safe distance between you and the car in front. Often the best way to do this is to allow a two second gap between you and the car in front. If it’s wet or icy then make it a four second gap. Only overtake when it’s safe and legal to...
Stopping distances increase dramatically as speed increases. Allowing for a proper stopping distance is probably the number one rule for safe driving in inclement weather. Stopping distance is measured as the distance covered by a vehicle at a given speed when applying brakes. The reaction time of ...
That means stopping at stop signs, looking both ways before crossing the street, and using hand signals to let others know where you're going. It's important to be predictable and let cars and pedestrians know your next move. Another important thing to remember is to stay visible. Wear ...
Increasing the distance is also a good idea whenfollowing motorcycleswith a shorter stopping distance or when large vehicles block your view. You should also be careful when entering work zones, where rear-end crashes are more common because of sudden slow-downs or stops. Be attentive to the ...
Maintaining Safe Following Distance:Utilize the three-second rule: leave at least a three-second gap between your vehicle and the one ahead. Extend the distance in bad weather, for instance, heavy downpour, fog, or especially during rush hour. A buffer area like this will provide enough time...

Hollow points, by design, expand when they hit a target. That’s great for stopping an unarmored attacker, but it works against them when hitting armor. Instead of punching through, the bullet mushrooms out even more dramatically, dumping its energy into the armor itself and failing to penetr...
If you believe this, let me change your mind. Four-wheel drive (4WD) helps with traction, but it doesn’t make stopping any easier. The key to safe winter driving is reducing speed and maintaining a safe following distance, no matter what kind of drivetrain you have. ...
It’s best to limit your driving to a reasonable time or distance covered, based on your ability to remain alert and to function optimally as a driver. Stopping overnight for a good night’s rest is always wise. I don’t know our record for miles traveled in a single day, but we’...
