Rules of the road
Brandon Acosta
11-4-13
• You always have to pay attention when you are driving so
  you dont cause any accidents, so you have to follow the
  rules of the road. You have to take precautions on
  evrething you do while you are driving so you dont have
  any accidents.
• When youre in the road you have to pay attention to all
  the signals, every signal, and always drive carefully you
  alvays have to be in all of your senses so nothing
  happens.
• For example all the motorcyclists have to use headlights
  at all time.
• Drivers must always stop after an accident
• Children under 12 must always be on the back seat in
  case of an accident.( the air bag can kill them to.)
• Other rules of the road and one of the most important is
  all drivers must always use seatbelts for security.
• In every stop you always have to stop completly and then
  wait for 3 secons and go.
• Rules of the road and driving etiquette are the general
  practices and procedures that road users are required to
  follow. These rules usually apply to all road users, though
  they are of special importance to motorists and cyclists.
• As a general rule, drivers are expected to avoid a collision
  with another vehicle and pedestrians, regardless of
  whether or not the applicable rules of the road allow them
  to be where they happen to be.
• In the United States, traffic laws are regulated by the states and
  municipalities through their respective traffic codes. Most of
  these are based at least in part on the Uniform Vehicle
  Code, but there are variations from state to state. In states such
  as Florida, traffic law and criminal law are
  separate, therefore, unless someone flees a scene of an
  accident, commits vehicular homicide or manslaughter, they
  are only guilty of a minor traffic offense. However, states such
  as South Carolina have completely criminalized their traffic
  law, so, for example, you are guilty of a misdemeanor simply
  for travelling 5 miles over the speed limit.

               In the United Kingdom, the rules are set out in the Highway
               Code, which includes obligations but also advice on how to
               drive sensibly and safely.
