    This happens mostly in the middle of the night. It alerts the driver to check the surroundings, confirm that it is safe to go and cross the signal.

  • Question
    If my car is speeding on the highway, how can I reduce my speed without an accident?
    Community Answer
    Just take your foot off the accelerator and let the car slow down naturally. If that's not enough, then apply some very gentle pressure to the brakes.

  • Question
    On which side should a heavy, loaded truck drive?
    Community Answer
    Drive on the left side of a main road. Try to avoid busy and small roads, as this can be dangerous for people walking. On mountains, give way to smaller vehicles.
