Proceed With Caution
Comments 0 | Recommend 0June 18, 2008 - 3:17 PM
If you absolutely have to drive, be sure to follow these rules.
- Drive slowly and approach all intersections with extreme caution.
- Treat intersections with missing or non-working traffic signals as a four-way stop.
- Do not drive though flooded roadways.You can't always tell the depth of the water.
- Don't visit disaster areas. You could slow down emergency operations.
- Obey curfews. Anyone out after curfew runs the risk of getting arrested.
Know the four-way stop procedure:
- All vehicles must stop.
- The driver of the first vehicle to stop is the first to proceed.
- If two or more drivers reach the intersection at the same time, the driver on the left should yield to the vehicle on the right.
