52. When driving in severe weather conditions (i.e. snow or heavy rain), slow down. If you still can't see, stop somewhere.
53. If hydroplaning, do not slam on the breaks or jerk the steering wheel. Take your feet off both pedals, while (smoothly) steering accordingly. 53b. Same concept for sliding on ice. In this situation, turn your wheels (smoothly) in the direction the back of your car is going. 54. Check your blind spots...I mean really check them. Turn your head like an owl and refocus your eyes, briefly glancing back before looking straight ahead again. Twitching your head will not suffice, and staring's excessive. 55. In the highway system, odd numbers run N-S and even numbers run E-W. 56. Just because two highway numbers appear similar (i.e. 40-W & 440-W) or are close numbers (i.e. I-70 & I-71) doesn't mean they go to the same places. 57. While driving, avoid: texting, reading a book, putting in contacts, shaving, painting your fingernails, and any other activities that demand your visual and tactile attention. 58. Do NOT smoke at a gas station. I shouldn't even have to say this. 59. If you see a car pulled over, switch lanes if possible (to get farther, not closer to this vehicle). 60. The game "chicken" is best played in the pool, not in cars.
