Driving Tips
Some driving tips:
- Hydroplaning: Take your foot off the gas pedal and keep the steering wheel straight. When the car’s momentum has slowed down and the tires grip the road again, you can regain control.
- Brake Failure: Shift into a lower gear, release the clutch, and apply the emergency brake (manual transmission). Apply the emergency brake and move lever into the lowest gear (automatic transmission).
- Gas Pedal Sticks – Tap the gas pedal or lift the pedal with your foot, trying to un-stick the throttle linkage. Shift to neutral and apply pressure to the breaks (be careful not to lock the wheels).
- Tire Blowouts – Try to keep the car going straight and reduce speed. Do not apply the brakes until the car is at a controllable speed. Move your vehicle to a safe place off of the road.
- Skidding – Ease off of the accelerator. Turn the steering wheel in the direction that the rear of the car is skidding. When your car’s path begins to straighten, turn the steering wheel back the other way to avoid over-steering.
