Speed can be a factor between life and death; therefore it will take 300 feet of braking distance to stop on a dry surface, when driving at a speed of 60 mph. To avoid hydroplaning and loosing control of the vehicle on a wet road surface, you should slow down and drive on the highest point of the road. Driving at a speed of 35 mph or more on wet road surfaces, can cause the tires to hydroplane and the motorist to loose control of the vehicle. A provisional driver, during daylight hours when raining must have windshield wipers and headlights on. If your wheels drift onto the dirt shoulder of the road and you want to return to the paved road, you should slow down, ease up on the gas pedal, turn back onto the pavement slowly. If your brakes suddenly give out, the first thing you should try to do is shift to a lower gear and pump the brakes. If the gas pedal sticks, before calling for help, you should keep your eyes on the road and quickly shift to neutral and steer the vehicle off the roadway. In city driving, a good habit and rule of thumb is to look 12 seconds ahead, drive more slowly, and watch for pedestrians. If under 21, New Jersey law states that you may be under the influence if your BAC blood alcohol level content is (.01%) in which case you are under the influence if your BAC is more than .10% but less than .15%, more than .05% but less than .10%, or more than .01% but less than .05%. If a vehicle is passing you, you should slow down to make it easier for the driver to complete the pass. Driving under the influence of intoxicating beverages means your senses or judgment are impaired by alcohol. If your vehicle starts to skid, you should take your foot off the gas pedal. To avoid a spin, while in a skid, you should turn in the same direction the rear of the vehicle is skidding. After 2 to 4 drinks, alcohol begins to impair your reaction time, coordination and balance and judgment. The best way to reduce your chance of having an alcohol related accident is to not drive at all after drinking. If a person has been drinking, only time can sober them up. If you drink and have reached a BAC of slightly above .05%, the risk of you causing a motor vehicle accident is doubled.
