useful to older drivers. Drivers should plan ahead and make lengthy car trips during daylight hours. Morning may be best because people may not be as tired as they are in the afternoon. Drivers should avoid driving during rush hour, if possible, and avoid roads that tend to get congested. When driving long distances, especially in winter, drivers should call ahead for weather and road condition updates. Drivers should look far down the road and make adjustments before encountering problems that may involve other vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, or animals. Maintaining a safe speed is important and depends on what the road is like, how well the driver can see, how much traffic there is, and how fast traffic is moving. Drivers should keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead of them. The “Pennsylvania Driver’s Manual” advises that drivers always keep a 4-second gap between their vehicle and the vehicle in front of them.
