Adjusting the Steering Wheel:
Adjusting the steering wheel while the 
vehicle is moving is dangerous. 
Moving it can very easily cause the 
driver to abruptly turn to the left or 
right. This can lead to loss of control 
or an accident. Never adjust the 
steering wheel while the vehicle is 
moving.

Changing lanes without taking into

dangerous. You could have a serious 
accident. What you see in the convex 
mirror is closer than it appears. Be 
sure to look over your shoulder before 
changing lanes.
