10 to 15 seconds

Good drivers try to see 10 to 15 seconds ahead on the roadway. By looking ahead, you may avoid unnecessary last-minute moves, such as sudden stops or quick lane changes.

3. If you come to a roadway covered in water, you should:

If you come to a roadway that is flooded, turn around and find another way to go. Do not attempt to drive through the water. It is impossible to determine the depth or current and your vehicle could become submerged or swept away.

Follow the directions given by the crossing guard.

Copy what surrounding traffic is doing, despite the crossing guard's instructions.

Assume the guard is not supposed to be directing traffic.

Low beam headlights.

High beam headlights.

Parking lights.

Hazard flashers.

Use your four-way flashers to warn other drivers.

Sound your horn at passing motorists.
