HOW TO PASS SAFELY ON A TWO LANE ROAD
It can be frustrating to get behind a slow moving car on a two-lane road, and it’s a tricky
maneuver to pass them. While it can be a dangerous move if you don’t appropriately
follow the rules of the road, being aware of all your surroundings and moving with
precaution can ensure a safe transition to get in front of the vehicle.
PROCEDURE:
1. Checking your surroundings.

2. Look at traffic signals and lane markings to ensure passing is legal. Check
for signs indicating whether you’re in a designated passing zone or non-passing
zone. If you’re unsure, look at the lane markers.
 A solid yellow line indicates it’s unsafe to pass into oncoming traffic.
 A single dotted yellow line or a solid yellow line with a dotted line on your side of
traffic indicates that it’s a safe move.
3. Evaluate the conditions. Look around you, and check to be sure that there are
no conditions that could prohibit you from making a safe pass. Be aware of
upcoming or curves, traffic stops sign or lights, and train tracks.
 Tunnels and bridges can obstruct your view. If you see any up ahead, wait until
you have passed them to consider a move.
 Do not attempt to pass a slow moving car if you’re driving on a curve. Wait for a
long stretch of flat road.
 Be aware of driveways and other entrances where cars may unexpectedly come
from.
 If the weather is rainy, foggy or snowy, consider staying in your lane as these
types of conditions can cause you to slip or they can make it more challenging to
see ahead.
 Check your surroundings for animals, like cats or dogs that can run into the
middle of the road.

4. Check surrounding traffic. Look ahead to the other lane, and notice traffic
following behind you, and check for vehicles in front of the one you plan to pass.
 Establish there is no oncoming traffic that will come within 200 feet (0.061 km) of
you in the passing lane. Do not pass if you can’t see .25 miles (0.40 km) ahead.
 Look at your rear-view and side mirrors for traffic coming from behind you right
before you move into the opposite lane to pass. Then check for oncoming traffic
once again.
5. Ensure you can pass without going over the speed limit.
 It can be frustrating to be behind someone driving slow, but if they are driving less
than 15 miles (24 km) under the speed limit, it may be best to stay put.
 You’ll have to increase your speed up to 20 miles (32 km) to pass, so be sure
you’re aware of the speed limit where you are.
 Be aware that speed limits can drop dramatically, up to 30 miles (48 km), along
some country roads upon arriving in a town.

6. Have a backup plan.
 Ensure that you have enough space between the vehicle in front of you and any
behind you so that you have an opening if you need get back into your lane without
passing.
 Use the two-second rule. Count one thousand one, one thousand two after the
car in front of you has passed a marker of some kind to be sure you have enough
space. A sign, tree or lamppost works as a marker.
7. Moving Past a Vehicle Safely
8. Accelerate slowly.
 Give yourself at least one vehicle length distance between the front end of your
car and the back end of the one you’re passing.
 Avoid being aggressive with your speed and give yourself plenty of time and
space between the vehicle. Don’t slam on the gas to safely arrive in front of the
slow car.

9. Use your turn signal.
 Alert the slow driver of your maneuver by using your turn signal.
 Check your mirrors as you start to make a pass.
10. Smoothly pass over the dotted lane marker.
Look ahead to be sure there is still no traffic coming up ahead. If it’s safe, swiftly
accelerate to a speed that does not exceed the speed limit. You should be able to make
the maneuver in roughly 15 seconds.

11. Quickly pass the vehicle.
 Glance at both your side and rear-view mirrors to determine the position of the
vehicle you just passed.
 Always keep an eye on the vehicle you’re passing to be sure they don’t speed up
or move in an unexpected way.
 Keep both hands on the wheel the whole time.
 Be on alert.
12. Signal your re-entry to the appropriate lane.
Put on your turn signal after moving about two car lengths in front of the vehicle you are
passing.
 Smoothly cross back into the lane.

 Maintain your desired speed without exceeding the limit.
 Glance in your rear-view to check the distance of yourself and the car you passed.

Introduction:
In the previous you learned, traffic rules and regulations with accordance in concerned
traffic authorities. Traffic violations and penalties. Proper attire for all PUV (Public Utility
Vehicle). And Defensive driving techniques
Traffic rules and regulations are rules designed to expedite the flow of traffic and
prevent collisions.
Traffic laws are the laws which govern traffic and regulate vehicles, while rules of the
road are both the laws and the informal rules that may have developed over time to
facilitate the orderly and timely flow of traffic.
The Importance of Obeying Traffic Laws
Traffic laws are designed to protect you and other drivers on the road. If we do not follow
them, we are not only putting ourselves at risk but also innocent bystanders and drivers.
By knowing the rules of the road, practicing good driving skills and generally taking care
as a road user, you help play a vital role in preventing a crash. You will also be making
road safety policies more effective. Many factors play a role in road safety including
following the speed limits that are posted and making sure safety equipment is properly
installed and used.

WEARING OF SAFETY BELTS
Reasons to Wear a Seat Belt
As you know, driver safety is very important. When

you're behind the wheel, your actions will affect you,
others in the car, and anyone else who happens to be
on the road near you. One way to promote safety is to
always wear your seat belt when the car is in motion. If
you don’t like wearing a seat belt or don’t find the task
to be very important, our list of reasons to wear a seat
belt may just change your mind.
A Seat Belt Can Save Lives
You are more than likely already familiar with the fact
that wearing a seat belt can save your life, which is the
most important reason to always have the safety belt
buckled around you.
However, there are plenty of other reasons to wear this

protection, too. These various reasons can include:
A. Safety
As mentioned, seat belts promote safety. More
specifically, seat belts can aid in the following:
 Preventing you from hitting the windshield
 Preventing you from being thrown from the
vehicle
 Preventing you from banging around the vehicle
and hitting the steering wheel, door, etc.
 Women who are pregnant are more protected
when they're wearing a seat belt
 It's the Law
 That's right, wearing a seat belt is the law. If
you're caught not wearing one, you could find
yourself facing expensive fines and
consequences.
D. OBSERVING THE UNIFIED VEHICLE VOLUME
REDUCTION SCHEME
 The Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction
Program (UVVRP), commonly called number
coding or color coding, is a road space rationing

C. Driver outfit/attire is worn as prescribed by law

Has the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) relaxed its rules on proper attire
for public utility vehicle (PUV) drivers?
Many drivers continue to drive jeepneys wearing sando, probably thinking the sleeveless
shirt transforms them like macho surfer dudes. Fact is, the shirts actually make them look
like they slept in them, too—like they went straight from bed to their vehicles.
The MMDA should remind these drivers they are in a service industry and they have to
treat passengers with respect—as people on whom they rely for their livelihood. It is
discourteous to passengers when jeepney drivers look like they are just doing chores at
home.
And some drivers seem to feel they are actually doing people a favor by allowing them to
take their PUVs. They are rude, arrogant and reckless.

D. SAFE DRIVING OR DEFENSIVE DRIVING

To drive without having a preventable accident is the simplest way to describe
defensive driving.
A preventable accident is an accident in which the driver could have prevented to get
involved with.
He failed to do anything to prevent the accident or lack of alertness could be the cause
of poor judgement. In determining whether an accident is preventable, analyze carefully
the causes, conditions and actions which cause accident.
To drive without having a preventable accident is the main objective of defensive

driving.
The formulated safety or defensive driving code are:
1. Safety driving or defensive driving requires the knowledge and observance of all
traffic rules and regulations applicable to the place or country in which the vehicle
is being operated.
2. Safety driving or defensive driving requires the knowledge to sudden change of
driving hazards or changing conditions in the mechanical functioning of the
vehicle, road surface, lightning and weather.

3. Safety driving or defensive driving requires the use of the right-way and give
courtesy to others whenever necessary to prevent accident.
4. Safety driving or defensive driving requires the alertness for driving errors of
other drivers and the ability to decide, adjust in driving so that this error of others
will not be the cause of the accident.
5. Safety driving or defensive driving requires a great confidence in one’s attitude
that a driver can drive without even having a preventable accident.
COMMON ERRORS IN DRIVING

Travelling from one place to another without committing any error and getting involved
in an accident mean “perfect driving”. To achieve a good record in efficient driving, here
are some tips to avoid errors.
1. Traffic Violations
Any traffic violation you committed, whether serious or not, do not try to fix
the traffic enforcer because this will make you immune to any traffic
violations you committed.
One of the main cause of accident is disregarding traffic signs. Any traffic
sign installed to a particular place should be followed to avoid untoward
incidents.
To be able to become a professional and responsible driver, you should

know and learn to obey all traffic signs. Always try to learn all the existing
and new signs, rules, and regulations, especially those signs installed on
delicate areas.
2. Misuse of Vehicle
Misuse of vehicle shorter its life. Some accidents are cause by misuse of
mechanical components. Checking of oil and tire pressure must be done
before using the vehicle. Improper idling, wrong gear and other misuse of
the vehicle can cause mechanical trouble which lessen the life of your
vehicle.
3. Trip schedule
Plan your schedule carefully. Do not try to increase your speed for any
schedule delay, go on as it was planned. Maintain or adjust your driving to
all conditions, the kind of road, weather and traffic situation. To Avoid such
delay, always start as early as possible.
4. Courtesy to others
When driving on the street, be sure to be courteous to others. It all depends
on your driving attitude if you will have friends or enemies. If driving is your
profession, you bad attitudes will create a bad image not only yourself but
also to the company where you work with. Proper practice courtesy on the
road makes you a perfect and good driver.

“Courtesy Counts. Let’s Drive the message home.”

Considerate. Foresight. Patience. Respect. Space.
1. Identify various qualifications and attitudes of a driver, road courtesy,

driver’s code of ethics and;
2. Explain each meaning to perform driving of light vehicle in accordance
with industry.
Introduction:
Driving etiquette relates to the general courtesy rules which communities expect the
operators of vehicles to follow while driving. Good driving etiquette typically involves being
courteous and staying alert which varies by vehicle, situation, and location (etiquette for
driving an F1 car involves different rules than etiquette for driving an RV). Failure to
adhere to this behavior can lead to increased risk of road collisions, trauma and road
rage. Driving etiquette can extend beyond in-vehicle actions. "When a courteous driver
scrapes the fender or inflicts minor damage to a parked car without its owner present, he
leaves a note giving his name, his telephone number, and the name of the insurance
company. If the owner is present, the courteous driver exchanges insurance information
politely and contacts the proper authorities right away without incident". Breaches in
driving etiquette can often be addressed amiably with a simple and immediate expression
of apology. The general guiding principle behind driver etiquette is "one good turn
deserves another". It is considered vital that everyone adheres to good driving etiquette.
Speeding and aggressive driving, both examples of poor driving etiquette, have been
cited as negative factors related to rural highways. Drivers need education about driving
etiquette to prevent them getting into accidents.
A. DIVING ATTITUDES
Improving and maintaining good behaviors and attitudes to driving are key components
to enhancing the safety of our roads.
As we become more and more aware of our own driving behaviors, we can work on
improving our attitudes, which, in turn, will instill positive change in all the drivers in our
driving community.

CBLMs August 2018
on Issued by:
Driving ACQC
NC II COMPILED BY:
TRAFFIC RULES AND
REGULATIONS
What are some good behavior traits/attitudes to adopt when driving?
• Respect for other drivers – don’t tail gate other cars, allow cars to merge
in front of you and allow for people to make mistakes
• Awareness – use your mirrors and always be aware of where cars are in
relation to your vehicle and scan the road ahead for possible hazards
• Share the road with other drivers
• Never take driving for granted – road conditions change from moment to
moment, so even if you drive down a street every day, always be alert for
new hazards
• Adopt the attitude, “I can make a difference to road safety by being a
responsible driver”
• Drive to conditions, not the posted speed limits
B. ROAD COURTESY 101
1. To Other Motorists:
• Give proper signals to other motorists. It is very vital to signal your
intention of stopping, passing, turning, left or right, or slowing down to
warn other drivers.
• When parking, wait for vacant spaces and give consideration to those who
came first. Park orderly to give enough space to those incoming vehicles
who would also be parking.
• Extend assistance to other drivers who happens to have vehicle trouble
along the road.
• Give way to vehicles who would like to overtake your path, although you
know that you have the right-of-way.
• Give proper courtesy to motorcyclists, bicyclists and other road users.
• Check your distance with other vehicles. Avoid tail-gating.
2. To Passengers:
• Driver’s should always be courteous and considerate to their passengers.
• Be careful while driving. Follow strictly traffic signs and signals to avoid
delay once apprehended.
• Do not slam your brakes or press your pedals too hard. Your passenger
might not be able to hold on and may bump around inside the vehicle.
• Be sure your passengers have stepped-out of your vehicle safely before
starting to move.
• To taxi drivers, be honest to your passengers. Do not drive with tampered
meters and always give them their exact change.
• Do not smoke while driving.
• To public utility or for hire drivers, avoid cutting trips.
The Role of Passengers:
• Passengers should never do anything to interfere with the driver and as

much as possible do not distract him while he is driving.
• In looking for a street name or address, the passenger must assist the driver
and do the searching.

CBLMs August 2018
on Issued by:
Driving ACQC
NC II COMPILED BY:
TRAFFIC RULES AND
REGULATIONS
• The passenger must handle the paying or change when approaching or at
a toll booth.
• Passengers should discourage the driver from reckless behavior.
• If the driver’s decision is impaired by anger, alcohol or by any other reason,
the passenger may refuse to ride the car he/she is driving.
•
3. Pedestrians:
• Children: They often forget the dangers of traffic when playing on
sidewalks. They run into the street without thinking. Be alert.
• Older People: They may not see or hear very well and may not move of
the way quickly, so give them time to cross.
• Handicapped People: Visually handicapped people crossing the roads
with white cane are pedestrians. The same are for persons confined in
wheel chairs while crossing the streets. They should be given the greatest
possible caution and attention. When you see handicapped people crossing
the road, do NOT honk your horns.
C. DEFENSIVE DRIVING TIPS

Defensive driving is often defined as preventing crashes before they occur…
It is the demonstration of an attitude, awareness and driving skills such as:
• Staying alert and keeping your eyes moving so that you can keep track of
what is happening at all times.
• Looking for trouble spots developing around you.
• Having a plan of action if the other driver does the wrong thing.
• Knowing that the law requires drivers to protect each other from their own
mistakes.
A Defensive Driver Must:
• Be able to keep a safe driving record.

• Have a positive attitude on road safety.
• Be physically and mentally fit to drive.
• Have received proper training before driving
FACTORS THAT AFFECT DRIVING:
1. Attitude
A defensive driver must develop and demonstrate an attitude that:
• Shows concern for other road users.
• Recognizes that other road users will make mistakes.
• Knows no journey is so urgent that a safe speed can be maintained.
• Driving is a skill which requires the application of good techniques.
• Believes that safe driving requires an alert mind at all times.
2. Behavior
An ideal defensive driver:

CBLMs August 2018

TRAFFIC RULES AND
REGULATIONS
• Always wear a seat-belt.
• Keeps within the advisory speed limit.
• Constantly scans the road for potential hazard.
• Signals his intentions at all times.

1. Observing the four-second rule.

2. Adopting a positive and skilled mental approach.
• Search – The road seen ahead, around and rear of the vehicles.
• Identify – The potential and immediate hazard on the road.
• Predict – The actions of other road users.
• Decide – What to do to avoid an unsafe situation.
D. KEYS TO EFFECTIVE DEFENSIVE DRIVING
1. Concentration
• Standard of vision, hearing and health all have a bearing on the amount of
concentration.
• The driver must adjust the speed of his vehicle on the degree of
concentration he is able to apply.
2. Driving Plans and Decisions

• Driving plans should be made on the correct assessment of the changing
scene both ahead or to the rear of the vehicle.
• Driving plans should enable the driver to make decisions in a methodical
manner.
• Plans and decisions are combination of what can be seen, what cannot be
seen circumstances which are expected to rise, allowances for the mistakes
of other road users.
3. View from the Vehicle

• The driver must aim to have the best possible view of the area around the
vehicle.

5. Visions Affected by Fatigue

• Continuous driving for long periods will cause fatigue which will result in eye
strain.
• Recognition and assessment of dangerous situations will become late and
inaccurate.
• Making it essential to have period of rest.
6. Weather Conditions
• Fog, rain, fading daylight or bright sunshine will reduce visibility so speed
must be kept LOW.
7. Road Surface
• A good driver is one that looks ahead and recognizes any change in the
road surface.
• Keep a steady speed on open roads. Slow down smoothly. Press the gas
pedal lightly.
• Starting up slowly give other drivers and people walking a chance to see
what you are doing.
• They can then judge how to react. When you have reached the speed you
want, glance at the speedometer
E. CODE OF ETHICS FOR DRIVER
• CHECK VEHICLE REGULARLY. MAINTAIN FIT FOR USE.

E. Managing difficult passengers
Drivers may encounter difficult or aggressive passengers during the course of their duties.
These passengers have the potential to distract and distress the driver.
This page provides guidance for bus operators about how to manage the risks posed by
disruptive passengers. The driver's main priority and safety duty to the passengers is to
concentrate on driving safely. If a passenger's conduct distracts the driver it may be
unsafe to continue the journey.
Passengers may exhibit behaviors including:
• Being disruptive and non-cooperative

• Verbal threats, intimidation or harassment
• Physical assault and spitting
• Throwing objects and projectiles
• Damaging property on the bus
• Intoxication - drinking, smoking or drug use
• Bullying and violence.
F. Drivers Attitude Behavior
If the driver remains calm and respectful toward the difficult passenger it may de-escalate
the situation and reduce the risk of physical and verbal assaults.
Below are some tips for drivers:
• Treat passengers with dignity and respect at all times

• Accept differences in culture, language, religion, accents, gender and speech
patterns
• Speak clearly and ask passengers to repeat information if you are unsure
• Remain calm, polite and professional at all times. Don't take insults or offensive
language personally. Remember, your response may turn a minor situation into a
major conflict
• Maintain self-control. Loss of temper affects drivers' judgement, reduces their
driving ability and increases their stress

CBLMs August 2018
on Issued by:
Driving ACQC
NC II COMPILED BY:
TRAFFIC RULES AND
REGULATIONS
• Empathies with the passenger when possible.
• It is important to remember when dealing with difficult, intoxicated or drug affected
passengers that their ability to make reasonable and rational decisions is greatly
reduced.
What to do if the situations escalate?
Drivers should try to avoid conflict at all times. However, situations may arise that cannot
be tolerated or ignored, such as when an assault has occurred, a threat has been made
or other laws have been broken. In these circumstances, the driver should call 911 as
soon as possible.
If the driver is concerned about a passenger's behavior, the following actions

may help:
• Stop the vehicle when and where considered safe

• Open all doors
• Remain in the driver's seat or area if appropriate
• Request the difficult or aggressive passenger to alight from the vehicle
• Do not physically handle the passenger unless you are acting in self-defense. (If
acting in self-defense the amount of force used must be reasonable and
proportional)
• Call 000
• call a supervisor.
If the difficult or aggressive passenger refuses to alight from the vehicle the
driver could also consider the actions below:
• Engage the handbrake, switch the engine off and remove the keys
• Advise the other passengers that they may alight the vehicle
• Alight from the vehicle
• Wait until the police arrive.
G. 4 interpersonal skills all vehicle drivers should develop:

1. Self-awareness
Self-awareness is an essential soft skill that acts as a foundation to emotional intelligence.

If drivers are self-aware, they know their strengths, opportunities for growth, triggers,
values, drivers, and everything in between. This knowledge enables people to utilize
assets to their advantage, exert caution at the times when they may be triggered, and
develop in the areas that they need it most.
Self-awareness is best developed through self-reflection and feedback.
2. Empathy
While understanding one’s self is a critical interpersonal skill, an equally important one is
empathy – the ability to understand others’ feelings. Having empathy helps drivers build
better relationships and address the needs of those around them, because they are
attuned to what’s important to them. Empathy also enables people to better recognize the
impact they are having on others. Armed with the ability to gauge how they are coming

CBLMs August 2018
on Issued by:
Driving ACQC
NC II COMPILED BY:
TRAFFIC RULES AND
REGULATIONS
across, drivers can adjust their approach accordingly, and ensure they are
communicating with impact.
3. Managing emotions
Life can be stressful. On the work front, ambitious goals, disagreements with colleagues,
and large workloads can create pressure. On the home front, stresses from relationship
challenges, financial strains, and work-life balance issues can often trickle over into the
workplace.
The best drivers are those who have learned how to manage these stresses and any
negative emotional displays that may come as a result of them. While self-awareness
enables them to recognize when they are irritable, anxious, or feeling threatened, for
example, their ability to regulate these emotions helps them to maintain their composure,
and prevent any behaviors they might later regret.
4. Listening skills
Drivers, who despite these challenges, exhibit strong listening skills have a number of
advantages. They can be more efficient, because they are better able to absorb and utilize
the information to which they are exposed. They can develop greater empathy, because
by being receptive to what others are saying, they are better able to understand what’s
important to them. They build stronger relationships, because others respond positively
when they feel they are being heard.

TASK SHEET 3.3-1
Title: Practice Courtesy
Performance Objective/s: Given a light vehicle car you should be able to practice
courtesy and demonstrate positive work values with accordance in industry.
Supplies/ Materials/ Equipment: Light Vehicle Car
Steps/Procedures:
1. Take a moment to calm down.

You will likely be angry, scared, shocked,
nervous, guilty, or a combination of all of
these emotions in the aftermath of an
accident. The calmer you are, the better
you will be able to deal with the situation.
Take a few deep breaths or count to ten
to steady yourself.
2. Stay at the scene.

Leaving the scene of an accident,
whether you caused the accident or not,
can result in serious criminal penalties.
Leaving the scene after even minor
damage can result in your license being
suspended
3. Determine any injuries.

The most important thing to do
immediately after a car accident is to
assess any injuries you or the other
drivers and passengers have received.
Determine your own safety, then check
with the other people involved and, if
necessary, immediately call for an
ambulance.
If someone is unconscious or has neck
pain, moving them may cause serious
harm. Leave them in place until medical
personnel arrives, unless leaving them in
place would endanger them (i.e. they are
lying in traffic, their car is on fire, etc.).

4. Call the police.
Even for what looks like a fender-bender,
it is still a good idea to call. That way you
will have an official record of the accident,
which will help protect you in case the
other party sues you or disputes your
account of the accident. Police can also
dispatch assistance in the event of a
serious accident.
• Stay on the phone with the
police until they arrive or
instruct you to hang up. •
Many 911 operators can
provide safety instructions.
• Ask that a police report be
filed. This report will help
when filing insurance
claims and in the event of a
lawsuit.
• Obtain the name and
badge numbers of the
police who arrive, in case
your insurance agent or
lawyer needs to contact
them.
5. Move your vehicle, if possible.
If you can safely drive your vehicle, move
it off to the side of the road and out of the
path of oncoming traffic. This will keep
you at a safe distance from traffic while
you exchange information with the other
drivers and make it easier for police and
ambulance workers to reach the scene of
the accident.
•
6. Turn on hazards and set up cones
or flares if you can’t move your car.
Particularly on the highway, anything you

can do to alert oncoming traffic that there
is a disabled vehicle in the road will
increase your safety.

7. Stay in your car with your seatbelt
fastened.
Don’t try to cross traffic to get off the road,
and don’t stand next to a car that is
stranded in traffic or on the shoulder.
People who get out of their car are killed
or injured more often than those who stay
inside.
However, if you smell gas, get out of your
car right away. This could signal a fuel
leak that could lead to a fire or explosion

RESPECT TRAFFIC ENFORCER AND OTHER TRAFFIC
MANAGEMENT UNIT
“Respect for ourselves guides our moral, respect for others guides our
manners.”
1. Identify traffic violations in connections of licensing and;
2. Practice knowledge and skills on how to respect traffic enforcers.
Introduction:
In this previous lesson, you learned different job responsibilities of a traffic
enforcers and how to practice knowledge and skills on how to respect traffic enforcers by
giving a situation in terms of violation in connection to license.
A traffic enforcer is someone who enforcers traffic rules and safety standards. At times
they may also be called highway patrol officer. They detailed within neighborhoods or
local police station or any nearby posts. These days, there are even imaginative and
creative traffic enforcers who do different gimmicks to catch the attention of the people
on the road and make them follow rules and traffic regulations cheerfully as with the
dancing traffic police. It may also be a way to ease the stress and tension while on the
road especially during traffic and rush hours.
Respect
Treating people in a positive manner that acknowledges them for who they are and/or
what they are doing. Being treated or treating an individual in a dignified manner.
Respect is earned and is never just given. BUT, you must give respect to receive respect.
Meaning when you interact with an individual you treat them with dignity and in a
respectful manner as this shows your character as a person. And the respect will be
reciprocated. You must always behave in a respectful manner as this reflects on you,
your character, integrity and values of who you are as a person.
No one owes you respect until you have earned it, so there is no such thing as I will give
it after they give it to me first. That attitude is a disrespectful action to anyone you interact
with as it insinuates that you do not trust them to act accordingly, and implies that they
"owe" you respect before you will give it. That will cause people to LOSE respect for you
or never gain it in the first place. When you first meet someone, everyone is given the
benefit of the doubt that they are a respectable individual. Questioning their
integrity(respect) before you have even met them and "expecting" respect to be given

REGULATIONS
without giving it yourself is insulting and condescending to that person and is judging them
in a negative light when you know absolutely nothing about them.
Thus,
To get respect, you must give it. So respectful behavior should just be part of how you
act as a person 100% of the time.
Everyone deserves a basic amount of respect as an individual until proven otherwise.
So respect authority and the rule of law. Give respect and pay courtesy to our traffic
enforcers because “they are just doing their jobs.”

HOW TO AVOID TRAFFIC TICKET?
Tens of millions of traffic tickets are issued each year, raking in big revenue for state and
local coffers. For the motorist, even one speeding ticket can raise your insurance
premiums for several years, and multiple violations can push your rates through the roof.
Fortunately, many tickets can be avoided with by following a few simple guidelines.
1. Drive Safely
2. Obey the rules of the road.
• Don’t break traffic laws, and you won’t get ticketed. Ignorance is no excuse.
Traffic laws also vary from state to state and even from town to town, so do
some research if you’re driving away from home.
3. Practice defensive driving.

• Aggressive or erratic driving can irritate other drivers and put both of you in
danger. Even if you’re not breaking any laws, weaving in and out of lanes and
stopping or accelerating quickly can bring you unwanted attention from police.
Consider taking a defensive driving course.

Driving ACQC
NC II COMPILED BY:
TRAFFIC RULES AND
REGULATIONS
4. Wear your seat belt.
• It's the law pretty much everywhere, and an iron-clad excuse for a sharp-eyed
officer to pull you over.
When catching cops and in getting Pulled Over:
1. Be polite and know the protocol.

• If you do get pulled over, you may still be able to get away with a warning if
you’re courteous.
• When the officer comes to your window, greet him or her with respectful words,
such as "Good evening, officer.”
• Don’t start arguments or act irritated or belligerent, and don’t make dumb
excuses.
• Be nice and you may get some pity. If you’ve already broken a traffic law, you
can’t make things any better by being a jerk.
• Make the police officer feel safe if you get pulled over. Police officers have a
dangerous job, and they know that any routine traffic stop can turn life-
threatening. If you can put an officer at ease, it makes his or her job a little less
stressful and he or she may thank you for it by letting you off with a warning.
• Pull over when you see the police officer signal for you to pull over. Look for a
safe area where the officer can stand beside your car and not risk his own life
with passing traffic.
• Pull into a parking lot if you can; but always signal to the officer to show that
you aren't avoiding him. This can be accomplished by flipping on your right
blinker. If you must pull over to the side of the road, the right shoulder is almost
always safer for both you and the officer.
• Park your vehicle so that you cannot drive forward. For example, pull right up
to a wall. Then the officer can park right behind you without worrying that you
will try to drive away and escape.
• Turn off your car, and possibly remove the keys from the ignition.
• If it is nighttime, turn on as many interior lights as possible.
• Remain in the car. Do not move to leave the car at any time during the stop
unless you are asked to do so.

CBLMs August 2018
on Issued by:
Driving ACQC
NC II COMPILED BY:
TRAFFIC RULES AND
REGULATIONS
• Sit still with your seatbelt on, and place your hands on the top of your steering
wheel, in plain sight. Don’t fidget around before the officer approaches the
vehicle or at any time during the stop.
• The officer will request your driver’s license, registration and insurance card.
Leave your hands on top of the steering wheel. Describe to the officer where
the papers are, and ask permission to get them. When the officer permits it,
move slowly and deliberately to retrieve the documents. Avoid sudden
movements that may make the officer feel you're reaching for a weapon.
• If an officer states you were speeding, it is OK to politely ask how they know. If
the officer states that he used a radar gun, ask to see it. Most officers
inadvertently turn the unit off once you are stopped - deleting the speed entry.
• If you got a ticket via a radar gun, ask to see the officers daily log. He or she
would need to state they calibrated the unit prior to beginning their patrol.
2. Avoid admissions of guilt (or don't).

• When the officer asks you if you know why you were pulled over, never admit
to anything if you intend to later fight the ticket. If you do get a ticket, your
admission can be used against you in court.
• If you think you might get away with a warning, you can try being completely
honest. The officer may appreciate your honesty and be more likely to let you
off with a warning. It’s a tough choice to make, but do your best to analyze the
situation and the officer’s demeanor, and hopefully you’ll make the right
decision.
3. Contest a ticket.
• If you can’t avoid a ticket, consider fighting it through the legal system.
Sometimes, just showing up indicates you are more responsible than other
motorists. Dress well, and be prepared to argue your side of the case without
emotion and with as much supporting material as you can provide. Depending
on the judge and the jurisdiction, the judge may give you some leniency.
4. Don't think that the cop will be unlikely to appear in court if you challenge
your ticket.
• Many jurisdictions pay overtime or more for time spent in court. In some
circumstances since the officer is being paid overtime for being in court, he or
she may act in your favor for dismissal of the ticket - that is, if you were polite
and respectful when receiving the citation.
Tips
• Don't lie. Police officers do this many times every day and your body language
will probably give you away.
• Don’t come up with any lame excuses; the police officer has heard them all,
and some of those 'excuses' can easily turn into additional tickets. For instance,
claiming you were "only" coasting down a hill is actually an additional infraction
in many jurisdictions. "Distracted driving" is also a growing new category of
potential bonus-offenses.

REGULATIONS
• Remember, the police officer is doing the job you want him or her to do. You
may not like that you are on the receiving end of his or her duties, but they are
important duties.
• Try to look as sad as possible. Don't say any of your problems - just allow the
sadness to show on your face. It just may be enough to get you off with a
warning.
• Watch for tire marks on the highway - this may be a sure sign that a driver hit
the brakes to slow down.
• Make sure beforehand that your driver’s license is with you and your valid proof
of insurance and registration are up-to-date and in your glove box for easy
access.
• If you have a medical emergency and really do need to get to the hospital
quickly, continue to show the police officer respect, but request a police escort
to the hospital.
• Traffic enforcement cameras can sometimes be detected with radar detectors.
In most places, if your face is obscured (with a hat and sunglasses, for
example) when your picture is taken, you can get the ticket dismissed in court.
A number of legal challenges have been posed to automatic ticketing systems,
many successfully, so if you are unlucky enough to be caught by one of these
systems, you have a good chance of beating the citation in court.
• If you do know a local police officer, you may try using the officer's name
casually in the conversation. There’s a chance the officer who stopped you may
give you a break. Always thank the officer whose name you used. The police
officers discuss these things at the base.
• Be respectful and cooperative. You may just get off with a warning.
Warnings
• Be careful with trying to flirt your way out of a ticket. Some officers will play along,
while others will be offended and come down harsher on you for this gamble.
• Being rude, obnoxious or demanding never helps. Be respectful. Try to chat with
the officer and be polite.
• The best way to avoid getting a ticket is to drive within the law.
• Do not threaten the police officer with comments such as "I’ll see you in court."
• Be aware that in most jurisdictions, going 15 mph (24 km/h) over the speed limit
not only counts as speeding, but qualifies you for a significantly more expensive
reckless driving citation.
