North Dakota permit test: safe driver habits

1. Using one foot for both the gas and the brake helps you avoid riding the brakes, which can make them overheat. (p. 34)
2. The texting ban applies to anyone driving; composing, reading or sending an electronic message while driving is illegal. (p. 34)
3. Wear the lap belt low and snug over the hip bones, never across the stomach; the shoulder belt goes over the chest and collarbone. (p. 38)
4. North Dakota's seat belt law requires every occupant, in every seating position, to wear a seat belt. (p. 38)
5. Never place a rear-facing infant seat in front of an air bag; children are safest restrained in the back seat. (p. 38)
6. Children should be at least 40 pounds and at least 4 years old before moving from a car seat to a booster seat. (p. 38)
7. Children under 13 should ride in the back seat, even if the vehicle does not have an air bag. (p. 38)
8. Children under 8 need a child restraint, but a seat belt may be used instead for a child who is at least 57 inches tall. (p. 38)
9. Tailgating to make a driver speed up or move over is one of the behaviors the handbook links to aggression rather than inexperience. (p. 47)
10. Report aggressive drivers with a vehicle description, license number, location and direction of travel, and call 911 if you can do it safely. (p. 47)
