ROAD SIGNS

COME TO A COMPLETE STOP

STOP, IF YOU CAN DO SO

PROCEED, BUT WITH CAUTION

A traffic light that is not working should be treated the same as a stop sign.

Yellow lines separate traffic lanes moving in opposite directions

White lines separate traffic moving in the same direction

BROKEN LINES may be crossed

in a passing maneuver.

SOLID LINES must not be

crossed in a passing maneuver.

Dear Amy,

Just a reminder. Never run you car in an

enclosed space because of carbon

monoxide. Also if you feel fatigued, pull

over and rest before driving. Always

have a Positive Attitude when driving. It

will help you manage time, your space,

and speed of your car. Remember -

Always drive with balanced emotions

because being overly emotional will lead

to a lack of focus.

Love Dad

Dear Dad,Thank you for the reminder. Don’t forget

to wear your glasses while driving! You

may get a $$$ if you don’t ;-) Also, I

know you are getting up there in age, lol,

so your ability to judge distances and

identifying objects is little impaired so be

careful driving at night. Mom says you

have a hard time distinguishing between

colors and combinations. She says its

because you old but you may want to go

to the doctor to see if you are color blind!Love Amy
