Warning signs What types of signs are rectangular and black and white Regulatory In avoiding a collision, a driver has three options: (1) stop quickly, (2) turn quickly, and (3) speed up quickly. To Stop Quickly Push the brake pedal hard. If the car begins to skid, quickly let up on the brake. Then quickly push it down again. Use this quick pumping action until the car is stopped. If you are about to be hit from the rear: Be ready to apply your brake so that you won't be pushed into another car. Brace yourself between the steering wheel and seat back. If your car has head restraints, press the back of your head firmly against the head restraint. If you are about to be hit from the side: Brace yourself with the steering wheel to keep from being thrown against the side of the car. Get ready to steer quickly so that if the car spins around you can try to control the car. If you are about to be hit from the front: If you are wearing a shoulder strap, use your arms and hands to protect your face. If you are not using a shoulder strap, throw yourself across the seat so that you don't hit the steering column or the windshield. If you are involved in an accident: Stop your car at once and render all possible aid to any injured people and send for an ambulance if needed. Do not move an injured person unless there is danger of an accident. Stay at the scene until the police have arrived and questioned everyone involved. If you can, move your car off the road so that you do not block traffic. Get the names and addresses of all people involved in the accident and any witnesses. Make sure to get the names and addresses of any injured persons. Record the other driver's info. If the right wheels of your car unexpectedly run off on to the shoulder of the road: Don't panic! Grip the steering wheel firmly. Ease up on the gas pedal. Don't hit the brake pedal suddenly and hard. Step on the brakes gently. After you've slowed down, you can steer back onto the road. Before doing so, check the road for traffic ahead and behind, then turn your wheels to get back on the road. If your gas pedal becomes stuck or jammed: Keep your eyes on the road. Shift to neutral. Put on the brakes. Find a safe place to pull off the road. As you bring your car to a stop, turn off the engine. If you cannot free the pedal so that it does not get stuck again, call for assistance and do not try to drive the car. If your brakes fail: Pump the brake pedal rapidly and hard several times. If that doesn't work... Slowly apply the parking brake, but hold the brake release so you can let off on the brake if the rear wheels lock and you begin to skid. If that doesn't work... Shift to a lower gear and look for a place to slow to a stop. Use your horn and lights to warn other drivers. Make sure the car is off the roadway. After the car has stopped, call for help. Do not try to drive the car to the garage. Wet brakes: Always test the brakes after driving through deep water. The brakes may pull you to one side, or they may not work at all. "Dry" the brakes by driving slowly and putting your brakes on lightly for a short distance. If a blow out occurs: Don't panic or slam on the brakes. Let up on the accelerator. Hold the steering wheel firmly and keep your car in the same lane. There may be a strong pull to the right or left. Let your car slow down. Don't use the brakes until you are going very slowly. Put on the brakes gently. Pull off the road to a safe area. If your hood latch fails: Immediately slow down. Try to look under the hood to see. If you can't... Put your head out the window and look around the hood. Use the center line or lane marking as a guide. Brake and pull off the road as rapidly as you can. If your power steering fails: If going straight, grip the wheel with both hands to keep control. If turning, pull hard with both hands to make it around the corner. Stop the car. You may have to push hard if your car has power brakes. Restart the engine. If your engine floods: Press the gas pedal to the floor and hold it there. Do not pump the gas pedal. Turn the key and let off on the pedal when the engine starts. If this doesn't work, wait about ten minutes, then repeat the above. If your headlights fail: Try the dimmer switch. That will often put them on again. Turn the headlight switch on and off a few times. If that doesn't work, turn on your parking lights, turn signals or emergency flashers. Pull off the road as quickly as possible, leaving your emergency flashers on.
