Service manual

Obey all posted speed limits. But remember that they are for ideal
road, weather and visibility conditions. You may need to drive below
the posted limit in bad weather or when visibility is especially poor.
Pull to the right (with care) and stop clear of intersections when
you
see or hear emergency vehicles.
FREEWAYDWNG
Mile for mile, freeways (also called thruways, parkways, expressways,
turnpikes, or superhighways) are the safest
of
all roads. But they have
their own special rules.
The most important advice on freeway driving is: Keep up with traffic and
keep to the right. Drive
at
the
same speed most
of
the other drivers are
driving. Too-fast
or
too-slow driving breaks
a
smooth traffic flow. Treat
the left lane
on
a freeway as a passing lane.
Entering the Freeway
At the entrance there is usually a ramp that leads to the freeway.
If
you
have a clear view
of
the freeway as you drive along the entrance ramp,
you should begin to check traffic. Try to determine where you expect to
blend with the
flow.
If
traffic is light, you may have
no
problem. But
if
it is
heavy, find a gap as you move along the entering lane and time your
approach.
Try
to merge into the gap at close to the prevailing speed.
