[. . . ] Neverdrive through water that is slightly lower than the underbody of your vehicle. If you can't avoid deep puddles or standing water, drive through them very slowly. Hydroplaning Hydroplaning is dangerous. So much water can build up under your tires that theycan actually ride on the water. This can happen if the road is wet enough and you're going fast enough. When your vehicle is hydroplaning, it has little or no contact with the road. But it can if your tires do not have much tread or if the pressure in one or more is low. If youcan see reflections from trees, telephone poles or other vehicles, and raindrops "dimple" the water's surface, there could be hydroplaning.

(See "Tires" in the Index. ) 0 4-17 City Driving One of the biggest problems with city streets is the amount of traffic on them. You'll want to watch out for what the other drivers are doing and pay attention to traffic signals. Here are ways to increase your safety in city driving: Know the best way to get to where you are going. Get a city map and plan your into an unknown part trip of the cityjust as you would for a cross-country trip. Try to use the freeways that rim and crisscross most large cities. (See the next part, "Freeway Driving. ") Treat a green light as a warning signal. When a light turns green, just before you start to and move, check both waysfor vehicles that have not cleared the intersection or may running the red light. be 4-18 Freeway Driving 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. Switch on your turn signal, check your mirrors and glance over your shoulder as often as necessary. Once you are on the freeway, adjust your speed to the posted limit or to the prevailing rate if it's slower. Just before you leave the lane, glance quickly over your shoulder to make sure there isn't another vehicle in your "blind" spot. Mile for mile, freeways (also called thruways, parkways, expressways, turnpikes or superhighways) are the safest of all roads. The most important advice on freeway driving is: Keep up with traffic and keep to the right. Treat the left lane on a freeway as a passing lane. Once you are moving on the freeway, make certain you allow a reasonable following distance. When you want to leave the freeway, moveto the proper lane well in advance.
