Hills because you cant see if any one is coming up the other side.
Curves because you cant see whats coming from the other way
Where it is posted that you cannot pass because you will get in trouble if caught and it isn't safe.
Train tracks because the car you are passing can block your view of if a train is coming.
Bridges because its to narrow
Tunnels because there's no room.

insurance
Bodily injury liability protects the driver that caused the insident against claims.Property damage liability protects the driver that caused the insidend from claims for damages to other people's property.A collision is when any number of objects come into contact with eachother causing damage..Comprehensive gives coverage for you to replace parts of your car or fix damages that were not caused by a crash.Deductible is the amount that an insurance policyholder pays for you to fix or replace your car.
Changing a tire
First figure out which tire you want to change. I selected the left rear tire. Next i took a jack and lifted the rear of the car far enough into the air so the wheel es weren't touching the ground. Then i took all the lug nuts off and removed the wheel. I placed it off to the side and lined up the holes in the new wheel es with the bolts on the car and put the lug nuts back on. I then lowered the car and was done. Make sure to use a jack that's not broken so the car doesn't possibly fall on you.
Crash site
First I visited the Doctor and i learned allot of thing's from him. I learned that slowed messages to the Brain,slurred speech,blurred vision, and poor judgement are all caused by alcohol. Alcohol numbs the frontal lobe and cause you to say things that you wouldn't normally say. The hippo campus controls memory and when you drink alcohol it can cause you to forget things while you were under the influence. the medulla controls basic life support. When numbed by alcohol the medulla will slow downs your breathing and possibly cause you to pass out.
Marijuana can cause you to misjudge your speed and braking distance while you are driving and can effect you perception. Smoking marijuana effects your cerebellum and can cause you to lose your coordination.
I learned allot from the school. here is an example of what to do and what not to do when a drunk friend wants to leave a party. If they insist on driving themselves home you need to take them away from the crowed and take there keys. You could offer to drive them home if you haven't had anything to drink. Act laid back while you suggest this so they wont think it is a big deal. Delay the them when you have more faith in there ability to drive themselves home. Find another angle. Tell them that they look tired and that you will find someone to drive them home. Whatever you do DO NOT just let them leave and drive themselves home. It could be a fatal mistake if you let your friend drive home. it could be the last thing they ever did.
I learned several things from the lawyer. She talks about an actual case that took place in Carolina. A drunk driver was driving 60mph when she went through a red light at an intersection and t-boned a car with 5 passenger's. she was charged with 4 counts of 2ND degree murder and 1 count of assault with a deadly weapon. The driver refused to take a breathalyzer test so the police got a warrant fora blood test. Several hours after the crash the blood test was taken and it was discovered that the woman had a blood alcohol level of .21. it is estimated that at the time of the crash she had a blood alcohol level of .28. The driver had 5 drinks between 12:00 and 2:50. The driver received 17 years in prison for each count of 2ND degree murder and 3 years for the assault with the deadly weapon.

Here is what i learned from the police. Here is the the process of performing an arrest. An officer must have reasonable suspicion to pull some one over. Then if the officer smells alcohol on your breath he will have you perform a field sobriety test. If they find that you have had to much to drink they will cuff you and read your Miranda rights. If i remember correctly this is how they go: You have the right to remain silent anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney if you cannot afford one, one will be presented to you by the court of law. After that they will take you to the police station and test your breath, urine,and blood. Then you can pay bail so you don't have to spend the night in a holding cell. Next comes the arraignment and court where the present the formal charges and you need to plead guilty or not. Then comes the trial and sentencing.

I think that drinking and driving is just plain stupid and nothing good can come of it.

Explain the benefits of a 4 second following distance.
If you have a 1 second following distance you will have to turn very sharply to avoid hitting the car in front of you if it stops suddenly. A 2 second distance still requires a big turn. a 3 second distance brings the turn down a little ways but no where near as much as a 4 second following distance.
Describe how to time your arrival
If you can see a red light thats ahead of you and there are not cars behind you, you can slow down so that you arrive when there is a green light.
