what is caution; road slippery ahead
True or False: when driving through a puddle, a driver can lose control over the vehicle such as hitting ice?

At a intersection, you are the second person to arrive. The first person is turning left and you are turning right. There is a group of school kids crossing the street on right. Who has the right of way/ who goes first?
What is "the pedestrians have the right of way, then the vehicle to arrive first may proceed".
when checking tire pressure, how would you know you tires are at the right level?
1. check the manual
2. on the driver side (inside the door) there is usually a sticker with the correct level the tires should be at for your vehicle
3. could google
Note: all gas stations have air tire stations, where you can use the gauge to check the pressure. In the winter, it is best to do this routinely as cold air reduces tire pressure (cannot pump air if it is below 30) or before going on a road trip. It is important that you have at least a 10 reading on your tires, anything lower can risk you popping your tire.
