Slippery when wet

This sign means that the road is slippery when wet. If the road
appears wet, slow down, increase your following distance, and avoid
sudden maneuvers or hard braking. These signs are often posted at
bridges and overpasses.

To control your speed on steep descents, you should

If you keep applying the brakes to control your speed on a steep


descent, the brakes will fade (lose their effectiveness). Instead,
release the gas pedal and shift into a lower gear (even with an
automatic transmission). This will generate a braking effect to slow
the vehicle, known as engine braking. The lower the gear, the greater
the engine braking effect. Apply the brakes only when engine
braking is insufficient or you want to stop.

Yes, but only when turning from a one-way street onto another
one-way street.

In Oklahoma, you can turn left on a red light when you are turning
from a one-way street onto another one-way street, unless signs
prohibit it. You must still come to a complete stop and yield to all
pedestrians and traffic before you turn. Note: The laws on this are
different in some other states. A few states (e.g., Idaho) also allow
you to turn left on red from a two-way street onto a one-way street.
Still other states (e.g., South Dakota) prohibit left turns on red
altogether. When traveling out of state, always check the local traffic
laws.

10:30 and your right hand between 2:00 and 4:00.

If you are driving in heavy rain, you must slow down to avoid
hydroplaning.

On a wet road, at speeds of up to 35 mph, modern tires will usually


channel water away to maintain contact with the road. However, in
deep water at higher speeds, the channeling action of the tires
becomes less effective and the tires start to ride on a layer of water
like water skis. This is called “hydroplaning.” It may result in a loss of
braking and steering control. To prevent hydroplaning, slow down.

After consuming a considerable amount of alcohol, you can


ensure you will not be driving under the influence if you

break down about one standard drink (one ounce of hard liquor, a

In heavy rain, your tires can ride on a film of water and lose
contact with the road. This hazard is known as
hydroplaning.

On a wet road, at speeds of up to 35 mph, modern tires will usually


channel water away to maintain contact with the road. However, in
deep water at higher speeds, the channeling action of the tires
becomes less effective and the tires start to ride on a layer of water
like water skis. This is called "hydroplaning." (Wide tires may start to
hydroplane even at reduced speeds.) At 50 mph or above,
hydroplaning may result in a total loss of braking and steering
control. To prevent hydroplaning, slow down.

If it starts to rain on a hot day, use caution because the


pavement may be slippery for the first few minutes. This is

until more rain washes the oil away.

According to the Oklahoma Driver's Manual, you should not use the
opposing lane to pass another vehicle unless you have at least 200
feet of clear roadway without a no-passing zone or oncoming
vehicles. (Note: Even 200 feet is cutting it rather close. If your
vehicle and an oncoming vehicle are each traveling at 40 mph, the
two vehicles will close a 200-foot distance between them in just
0.9 seconds, after which the two vehicles may collide head-on. Try
to avoid passing unless the opposing lane is clear for a great
distance.)

Steam coming from underneath the hood may mean that the
cooling system has overheated. Pull over to the side of the road and
turn off your engine immediately. It's a good precaution to carry
extra coolant or water in your car to add to the radiator after it
cools down. Modern cars typically require a 50/50 mixture of
coolant and water, so pouring only water into the radiator may lead
to the engine overheating again eventually. If all you have is water,
add it to the radiator, but also add coolant as soon as possible.

In heavy rain, your tires can ride on a film of water and lose
contact with the road. This hazard is known as
hydroplaning.

On a wet road, at speeds of up to 35 mph, modern tires will usually


channel water away to maintain contact with the road. However, in
deep water at higher speeds, the channeling action of the tires
becomes less effective and the tires start to ride on a layer of water
like water skis. This is called "hydroplaning." At 50 mph or above,
hydroplaning may result in a total loss of braking and steering
control. To prevent hydroplaning, slow down.

sideswipe the guard rail, rub your wheels against a curb, or drive
onto a grassy area. Never allow a head-on collision. Head-on

carefully steer in the direction in which you want the front of your
