Stale green lights. The point of decision is an imaginary line that you set up between your vehicle and the crosswalk when you are approaching an intersection with a stale green light.

What is the 8th step of the 10 point commentary? |
Eye contact When you must depend on anyone along the edge of your driving path to stay put until you are past the Danger Point, it is imperative that you get their attention. The horn and lights are your communication tools when you do not have eye contact. Proper use of the horn to express a friendly message seems in many instances to be a lost art. Only when you have eye contact can you expect the other person to act in a reasonable predictable manner to avoid a dangerous situation. |
