The Safe Driver Pop Quiz 3 Signs Indicating You’re a Dangerous Driver
Are you a safe driver? Take this pop quiz to find out! 1. The light has just turned yellow. Do you speed up? A. Yes, I can make it. B. No, I start to slow down. 2. A driver just cut you off. How do you react? A. I get angry and lay on my horn. B. I slow down to give them enough space. 3. Someone tries to merge in front of you at the last minute. Do you let them in? A. No, they need to learn their lesson. B. Yes, if I can. If you chose A on most of the questions, then you are an aggressive driver. This means you have some pretty dangerous habits when you’re behind the wheel. The insurance company Esurance reports that 2 in 3 three traffic deaths are the result of aggressive driving.
we are quick to react with anger when other drivers “wrong us.” But the reality is that other drivers aren’t out to get you. That person who cut you off may be from out of town and didn’t realize their exit was coming up so soon. The car tailgating you may be carrying a woman in labor. When we remember that drivers are other people and treat them with courtesy, we become much safer behind the wheel. It’s far safer to be a defensive driver than an aggressive one. Alway be aware of other drivers and expect them to react unexpectedly. When you’re coming up to an intersection, always look both ways, even if you have a green light. A driver in oncoming traffic may be distracted and not realize their light is red. Give yourself time to stop if you have to. It’s also smart to practice the three-second rule. Make sure there’s at least three seconds worth of space between you and the driver in front of you. If they have to stop suddenly, you have enough time to react without hitting them. The best strategy for being a safe driver is to remain calm. If running late makes you stressed out, be sure to leave your house five minutes early. If you have a short fuse, try some breathing exercises to keep from losing your temper. We’re sharing the road together, so we all have a responsibility to help make sure everyone gets to their destination safely.
When we get into our car, we can feel a sense of ownership about our place on the road. This is why

Ingredients:
• •
2 large russet potatoes, scrubbed 1 large onion, peeled and cut into quarters
• • • • • •
2 large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp black pepper
Safflower or vegetable oil, for frying
Directions:
1. Using either a food processor with a coarse grating disc or the coarse side of a box grater, grate potatoes and onion. (If using a food processor, halve or quarter potatoes.) Once grated, wrap in a clean dish towel or cheesecloth to wring out as much moisture as possible. 2. Transfer to a mixing bowl and mix in eggs, flour, salt, baking powder, and pepper.
3. Heat a heavy-bottomed pan containing 1/4-inch of oil over medium-high heat. Use a heaping tablespoon to drop batter into the hot pan, working in batches. Use a spatula or spoon to form them into discs. Fry about 5 minutes per side, until deeply browned. 4. Transfer to a paper towel-lined wire rack to drain, and serve alongside applesauce and sour cream.
