Washington Driver's Handbook, Section 5: Risks

Hazard awareness, speed, space, merging, night driving, curves, slippery roads, skids, vehicle failures, collisions and traffic stops.

Key rules

1. Leave at least twice your vehicle's length to the vehicle ahead. p. 159
2. Bridges and shady spots ice first; black ice is hard to see. p. 171
3. Skid: steer where the car is moving; hydroplaning: slow down, ease off and hold the wheel steady. p. 172
4. After a crash: stay, call 911 for injuries and file a report within 4 days if police don't. p. 176
5. Respond to a ticket within 15 days; signing it is not admitting guilt. p. 182
