Test Yourself
Welcome to the Test Yourself page of Rush Hour Safeguards. Here, you can challenge your knowledge and skills as a rush hour driver by taking our 80-item questionnaire. Test your understanding of hands-free driving tips, lane changing techniques, debris avoidance strategies and more. Your answers to this test will give you added assurance to becoming a more safer commute during rush hour.
[ Below are some of the topics covered in the questionnaire]
Hands-Free Driving Tips
Driving without distractions is crucial for safe commuting, especially during rush hour. Learn the importance of hands-free driving and how it can help you stay focused on the road ahead. Test your knowledge on utilizing hands-free technology and techniques to enhance your driving experience.
Hands-free driving has been a topic of discussion of many cities' jurisdictions. Most recently it has become a built in or implied law of many states. You may see the results of that state's laws displayed on billboards as you driver about their state.
As stated in the test, you may be asked if you agree with the suggestions as stated.
Lane Changing Techniques
Mastering lane changing techniques is essential for navigating through heavy traffic during rush hour. Understand the proper way to change lanes, use your mirrors effectively, and signal your intentions to other drivers. Test yourself on different lane changing scenarios to improve your skills.
Debris Avoidance Strategies
Debris on the road can pose serious hazards to rush hour drivers. Learn how to identify and avoid debris on the road to prevent accidents and damage to your vehicle. Test your ability to react to unexpected obstacles and maintain a safe driving environment for yourself and others.
Rural Road Driving
Not often do you not find information that emphasizes the hazards you may encounter while driving on rural roads. We cover this with questions within the test. This is an ideal section for any family or relatives who live in rural areas or you if you use rural roads to visit, take short cuts, or if just to take a leisurely drive.
It's the curves, the hills, the non existence of road signs, the thought of going around a curve an all of a sudden you have to slow because of animals crossing the road or you are coming in contact with a farm tractor.
Avoiding Animals
What's your reaction to animals crossing in front of you
Sure, it is no fun, it's sad, and it's costly, but in almost all cases, the question becomes, "will you swerve dangerously to the right or left to avoid hitting an animal that suddenly runs across the road in front of you? The question on the test does challenge you. Would you brake and keep straight?
Have you heard about accidents in which the driver died or become seriously ill; not by hitting the dog, cat, deer or other animal.

Testing continues... : Online Driving School...
As a seasoned driver, you may not need this test; but, for those learning to drive or for other reasons, they may need or desire to attend an online driving course.
Understandably so, many of these courses are given at certain locations in your city; but then there are those that are given online. Each one is identical to the state you are residing in.
With today's challenging rush hours, someone in your family may need to explore any and all avenues to arrive at having a family member ready for the road. A driving school may just be the best alternative.
About the test...
It all began with a simple idea fueled by a deep passion. As a courier, delivering blood components throughout TN, Kentucky and Georgia, over the last 20 years or so, with miles driven appproaching a million, being in all sorts of traffic situations, I took note of what I witnessed on the highways. Thus See Better Tomorrow is a sum total of those sightings.
Your driving experience may be similar or very different. Additionally, as for what's in the list of questions, these are my opinions. They are not questions to be used as a substitute for any state's driving test, study questions, or to be used for any discount in getting or renewing any state's driver license. Whereby, it is only an additional study material to help all who read it to be a more safe driver.

My most recent rush hour tips...
Question:
How often have you finisned pumping gas and almost immediately, tried to re-enter traffic? To no surprise, you probably found it literally impossible to enter the lane of traffic. Now what!
My Answer:
Sure, it is a challenge to leave a service station/convenient store that is on any corner, during the rush hour. In that you need to continue going the same direction you were going when you stoppped, let's try this:
If nothing more, remember this process: Make 3 right turns! Some people would say, "circle the block!"
a. proceed to the right edge of the store's exit area
b. safely enter traffic (right lane) move forward
c. moving on to next stop light, turn right (1st)
d. moving on to next stop light turn right (2nd)
e. moving on to next stop light, turn right (3rd) ...
That was the 3rd stop and now you are as you were before stopping at the store. After seeing how this works, you would have accomplished at lot. But most of all you would have avoided the fact that it is very dangerous as you leave any business that is located on a corner. Without taking such action such as the above mentioned, you would have to enter a street with about 2-4 vehicles that are parked waiting on the light to change. And, less I also say, drivers are not very cooperative when having to allow other cars to enter at these types of locations.
