Highway Driving

|
From Wikipedia, the free
encyclopedia Driving is
the controlled operation of a land vehicle, such as a car, truck or bus.
Although direct operation of a bicycle and a mounted animal are commonly
referred to as riding, such operators are legally considered drivers and are
required to obey the rules of the road.

Driveability
Driveability of a vehicle means the smooth delivery of power, as demanded by
the driver. Typical causes of driveability degradation are rough idling,
misfiring, surging, hesitation, or insufficient power.[1]
Driving skills
Driving in traffic is more than just knowing how to operate the mechanisms
which control the vehicle; it requires knowing how to apply the rules of the
road (which govern safe and efficient sharing with other users). An
effective driver also has an intuitive understanding of the basics of
vehicle handling.
Driving as a physical skill
In terms of the basic physical tasks required, a driver must be able to
control direction, acceleration, and deceleration. For motor vehicles, the
detailed tasks include: [2]
* Starting the vehicle's engine with the starting system
* Setting the transmission to the correct gear
* Depressing the pedals with one's feet to accelerate, slow, and stop the
vehicle, and if the vehicle is equipped with a manual transmission, to
modulate the clutch
* Steering the vehicle's direction with the steering wheel
* Operating other important ancillary devices such as the indicators,
headlights, and windshield wipers
