Q. Are there any “secrets” to
safe driving in heavy traffic?
A. There sure are, says the
American Trucking Industry
—and they're all based on
good old common sense. For
example, here are some heavy
traffic driving tips relayed
by Clark Equipment Trailer
Division and the ATA Foun-
dation. They're based on the
experience of professional
truck drivers, who are ex-
perts on the subject:
• Plan ahead. At intersec-
tions with much left turning
traffic, get into the right lane
well before traffic prevents
you from changing lanes.
• If your car overheats while
sitting in heavy traffic. In-
crease its idling speed to im-
prove the cooling power of
your fan and radiator.
• Keep an eye on the traffic
ahead of you, not just the car
ahead. That way you’ll know
whet the guy in front will do
even before he does.
• Learn to talk to your pas-
sengers without turning your -__.run.
