  Driving rules in Winter

  Winter is dangerous because it's so difficult to know what is going to happen and accidents take place so easily.Fogs can be waiting to meet you over the top of a hill.Ice might be hiding under the melting snow, waiting ahead to send you off the road.The car coming to you may suddenly slip across the road.

  Rules Number One for driving on icy roads is to drive smoothly.Sudden movements can make a car very difficult to control.So every time you either start or stop your car , increase or reduce your speed , you must be as gentle and slow as possible.Suppose you are driving with a full cup of coffee on the seat next to you.Drive carefully so that you wouldn't spill it.

  Rules Number Two is to pay attention to what might happen.The more ice there is , the further down the road you have to look.Test how long it takes to gently stop your car.Remember that you may be driving more quickly than you think.Generally, allow twice of your usual stopping distance when the road is wet, three times this distance on snow, and even more on ice.Try to stay in control of your car at all times and you will not get into trouble.

  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.
