Good strategies for avoiding fatigue: Aim to start long trips early in the day. Get enough sleep before driving. Sit up straight while driving. Look around often. Keep your car at the right temperature. Switch drivers often.
Oversize Vehicles: Safety Tips; Avoid driving right next to an oversize vehicle or in its blind spots. The driver will not be able to see you if you're too close. You should also avoid tailgating. Don't cut them off. Even more so than semi-trucks, an overweight vehicle will take a long time (and travel a huge distance) before coming to a stop
How to Pass an Oversize Vehicle: Make sure you aren't in a No Passing zone and ensure that you have plenty of open space to complete the maneuver.
Signal before positioning yourself to the side of the oversize vehicle, then pass it. Do so promptly, but don't exceed the speed limit.
Signal again before returning to your original lane of travel. Make sure to leave more space in front of the oversize vehicle than you would for a regular passenger vehicle.
To be a great defensive driver: Stay alert. Check your side and rear-view mirrors every five to eight seconds.Look for trouble spots developing all around.
Have a plan of action. Always know if there are cars behind you or on your sides in case you need to quickly leave your lane.
Remember that the law requires drivers to protect each other from their own mistakes. Always be alert to keep yourself and other drivers safe.
Your rights during a traffic stop include: Right to remain silent, except for truthfully identifying yourself. Right to refuse to have your vehicle searched. However, if an officer has reason to believe that your vehicle contains evidence of a crime, the vehicle can be searched without consent.If an officer suspects a weapon, the officer may conduct a pat-down search.
What to Do if You Are Pulled Over
Slow down and move your vehicle safely to the right of the road. Park your vehicle as far to the right of the main traffic lane as possible. Park on a nearby well-lit side street or parking lot away from high volume traffic. Place your vehicle in a parking position, set the emergency brake, turn the engine off, and activate the
hazard warning lights. Remain in the car.
Lower the driver's window. Keep both hands clearly in sight on the top of the steering wheel.
Wait for the law enforcement officer to give you instructions.
Reminders for how to deal with Police Officers: Refrain from arguing the charge during the traffic stop or detention. Signing a citation is not admitting guilt. If you wish to contest the charge, you should argue your case before the judge or request a jury trial.
