Are probably aware of the roadway.

May be distracted by the repair and not pay attention to the roadway.

3. A liver can process about ____ per hour.

4. Hydroplaning happens most often when:

A vehicle is traveling faster than 60 mph.

Tire pressure is too low.

You should rely on your mirrors to guide you.

You should first walk the area to become more familiar with obstacles.

If you must drive in reverse, you should first walk around your vehicle to look at the path of travel and check for obstacles. Because mirrors have blind spots, you cannot rely exclusively on them. It is recommended to use a helper whenever possible.
