YOUR
DRIVING
AND
THE
ROAD
Here you’ll find information about driving
on
different kinds
of
roads and
in
varying weather conditions. We’ve
also
included many other useful tips
on driving.
DEFENSMY
DRIVTNG
The best advice anyone can give about driving is: Drive defensively.
Please start with a very important safety device
in
your
Cadillac: Buckle
up.
(See “Safety Belts”
in
the Index.)
Defensive driving really means “be ready for anything.” On city streets,
rural roads, or freeways,
it
means “always expect the unexpected.”
Assume that pedestrians or other drivers are going to be careless and
make mistakes. Anticipate what they might do. Be ready
for
their
mistakes.
Rear-end collisions are about the most preventable
of
accidents. Yet
they
are common. Allow enough following distance.
It’s
the best defensive
driving maneuver,
in
both city and rural driving. You never know when
the vehicle
in
front
of
you
is going to brake or turn suddenly.
