  Driving In America

  Keep Right

  The traffic follows the “keep right rule”.While driving, drive on the right side of the road.On one-way, multiple lanes(车道)road, the right-most lane would be slowest and left-most lane is fastest.

  Hand Signals

  Though indicators(车的指示灯)are used for the purpose of showing which direction you are going, knowing some hand signals is very important and are usually always asked in a driving test.When you want to turn right, you can put your left hand out of the window and point upward.When you want to make a left turn, you can reach your left arm out of the window and point to the left.If you want to slow down or stop, you can just point downward.

  School Buses

  Yellow school buses have flashing red lights and stop signs that reach out from the driver’s side.The drivers use these warning signals when letting pupils on and off.No matter which side of the road you are traveling on, if you come upon a school bus with its lights flashing and a stop sign used, you must stop.It’s the law.Remain stopped until the lights stop flashing or the stop sign is removed.

  Using the Horn

  Using horns is not common in America.Actually they are very rarely used.You may use your horn to warn walkers or other drivers of possible trouble or to avoid accidents.Do not use your horn to express anger or complain about other drivers’ mistakes or to try to get a slow driver to move faster.

  The CBS-TV “National Drivers' Test” shows that many UK drivers have a lot to learn.Here are some reasons.

  CBS picked 1799 sample drivers to take the test in TV studios in Nottingham, Birmingham and Liverpool.More than two out of five drivers failed the test.And the average score was the lowest passing grades-51 points out of a possible 80.

  Liverpool drivers did the best with an average of 53 points.Nottingham drivers came next with 2 points lower and Birmingham drivers got 50 points-a failing score.Drivers with 50 or less rated “poorly informed” by the judges.

  Here are some of the test results:

  (1)Are men drivers better informed than women ones?

  Yes.Men averaged 52 points while women got an average of 49.

  (2)Are older drivers better informed than younger ones?

  No.Drivers under 26 averaged 52 points.Dri-vers from 27~45 averaged 51, drivers over 45 failed with a 48 points average.

  (3)Does education make a difference?

  Yes.College graduates averaged 52 points.High school graduates averaged 50.Those without full high school education got 48.And people who got driver education courses scored an average of 53 points-three more than those who hadn't.

  (4)Does driving experience make a difference?

  Yes.Drivers with three or more year of experience averaged 51 points.Drivers with less experience averaged 49.

  Some surprising facts about the test are also listed:

  (1)More than one out of three drivers didn't know that a blinking red light means a full stop.

  (2)Three out of ten drivers didn't know that an eight-sided sign means stop.

  (3)More than two out of three drivers didn't know what to do when being tailgated(追尾)The answers are very simple:slow down, drive to the left, and let the drivers behind pass.

  The test results have been turned to the National Safety Council and they will help future safety planning.
