stress to avoid an accident.
The tips listed below are suggestions to help you cope with the ever changing traffic environment.

your physician about its potential effects
on your driving abilities.
• Take a driver-retraining course.

clean.

leave streaks.

weather conditions, particularly with
regard to stopping distance.

• Refrain from using or minimize the use of a
cell phone while driving.
