Driving in the Fog
The best advice for driving in the fog is DON’T.You should consider postponing your trip until the fog clears.However, if you must drive, then drive slowly and use your low beam headlights.The light from high beams will relfrect back and cause glare.
霧の時は運転しないのが一番だと言っています。それでも運転したいのなら, ば、ゆっくりとそしてロービームを使うようにとあります。ハイビームは 反射して見えないからです。
Never drive with just your parking or fog lights.
Increase your following distance and be prepared to stop within the space you can see ahead. Avoid crossing or passing lanes of traffic unless absolutely necessary. Listen for traffic you cannot see. Use your wipers and deforsters as necessary for best vision.
If the fog becomes so thick that you can barely see, pull completely off the road. Do not continue driving until you can see better. Turn off your lights or someone may see your taillights and drive into you.
Driving In Darkness
暗闇で走るときも、前方が見えなければ、一時道路脇に止まる事をすすめてい ます。ハイビームを視界を遮らない程度に使用することをすすめています。
Drive more slowly at night because you cannot see as far ahead and you have less time to stop for a hazard. Make sure you can stop within the distance lighted by your headlights.
Use your low beam headlights at night when it rains. Don’t drive with only your parking lights on.
Use your high beams whenever possible as long as it is not illegal( i.e., in open country or on dark city streets). Do not blind other drivers with your high beam headlights .Dim your lights when necessary .If another driver does not dim his /her lights:
Don’t look directly into oncoming headlights.
Look toward the right edge of your lane.
Watch the oncoming car out of the corner of your eye.
Do not try to “ get back” at the other driver by keeping your bright lights on. If you do, both of you may be blinded.
When you drive at night, remember:
夜の運転で注意しなければならないのは、バイクです。一つのライトしか使用 していないので、気がつきにくいからです。これも問題ででました。
Motorcycles are harder to see at night because most have only one taillight.
More highway construction takes place at night . Reduce your speed in highway construction zones.
When you leave a brightly lit place, drive slowly until your eyes adjust to the darkness.
Drive as far to the right as possible when a vehicle with one light drivers towards you. It could be a bicyclist or motorcyclist, but it could also be a vehicle with a missing headlight.
DRIVING IN RAIN OR SNOW
Many road pavements are the most slippery when it first starts to rain or snow because oil and dust have not yet been oil and dust have not yet been washed away.Slow down at the first sign of rain,drizzle, or snow on the road. Turn on your windshield wipers, headlights, and defroster.
In a heavy rainstorm or snowstorm, you may not be able to see more than 100 feet ahead.
When you can’t see any father than that, you cannot safely drive faster than 30 mph. You may have to stop from time to time to wipe mud or snow off your windshield, headlights, and taillights.
If you drive in snowy areas, carry the correct number of chains and be sure they will fit your drive wheels. Learn how to put the chains on before you need to use them.
Driving In Hill Country
You never know what is on the other side of a steep hill or a sharp curve.When you come to a hill or curve, slow down so you can stop for any hazard. You must be going slowly enough to stop.
Anytime your view is blocked by a hill or a curve, you should assume there is another vehicle ahead.
以下の文章もたまに問題に出てくる文章のようです。
Only pass if a hill or curve is at least one-third of a mile away because you need at least that much room to pass safely.
DO not drive on the left side of the road of a hill because you can’t see far enough ahead to know if it is safe to pass.
