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

TOP 10 TIPS FOR SAFE DRIVING:10

Always use your signal when changing directionsMaximize the space between you and other cars early for turns, stops, or change of lanesWhen visibility is poor, always give yourself extra space between other vehicles

When visibility, road conditions, and weather is poor, always give yourself extra space between other vehicles

Use multiple seconds for the appropriate distance between you and the vehicle ahead.

Managing the space around your vehicle reduces and avoids distractionsDriving at slower speeds than traffic flow may impede other vehicles on the road that are traveling at normal and safe speeds

you should stay to the right if you are traveling slower than the rest of the trafficThe tailgating vehicle is a hazard to you because braking suddenly may cause your brakes to fail result in the tailgater hitting you from the rearUse defensive driving skills to defend yourself against possible collisions due to other drivers.
