Answer 1

Question 1: three Eco-driving techniques are

1. gentle braking: applying your brakes gently saves your fuel consumption by up to 40 PERCENT and also helps to extend vehicle life, to practice this always look ahead and slowly reduce your speed instead of applying your brakes so hard when you are so close to a stop
2. use of speed limits: speed limits saves life as well try as much as possible to stick to highway speed limits. driving at a much lower speed can increase the mileage of your vehicle by a reasonable percentage and also the life of the vehicle
3. easily taking a corner: taking corners so hard and sharply affects fuel and reduce mileage as well

Question 2: younger drivers are more prone to accidents because they lack the wealth of experience of the older drivers and they seem to be more reckless as well

question 3:

legal use : hazard lights are supposed to be used when the vehicle is stopped, broken down or was in an accident therefore warning other drivers to stay away from it

illegal use: turning on your hazard light while driving in the rain is an illegal use of hazard light.

• roll down the window on the driver side of the of the vehicle
• speak politely to the police officer

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1:

You don’t necessarily have to go out and purchase a brand new fuel-efficient car to save on gas. There is plenty you can do to increase your gas mileage.

Replace Air Filter and Spark Plugs

Replacing the air filter and spark plugs during a routine auto checkup not only helps your car last longer, but it can help your engine burn gas more efficiently

Properly Inflate Tires

Inflate the tires when they look low, but even if they are slightly low, undetectable to the eye, they could significantly reduce your mileage. Basically, under-inflated tires result in your engine using more gas to move the car.

Use Cruise Control

Using cruise control helps to maintain a safe, legal, and gas-efficient speed.Using cruise control helps reduce the need to accelerate and brake, which makes travel more gas-efficient.

Question 2:

Because younger drivers are more likely to get in a accident.

Question 3:

Laws regarding hazard light use are vague in many states, according to The American Automobile Association, in Virginia, “hazard light use is not permitted while driving except for emergency vehicles, stopped or slowed vehicles to indicate a traffic hazard, when traveling as part of a funeral procession.

Question 4:

Pull over at a safe location: If a police officer indicates for you to pull over, put on your turn signal to drive to the nearest, safe location and pull over. As such, turn off your ignition, turn on your interior car lights (if it's dark outside), and completely roll down your driver's side window.
