Wearing seat belt is,of course,the first step to safe driving.These additional measures might also save your life.

Count to three.Keeping up enough space between your car and others is extreme1y necessary.Jim Clark,a California driving instructor,suggests a least amount of three seconds’following distance.To figure this,pick an object on the roadside ahead.When the car in front of you passes it,start counting one-thousand-one,one-thousand-two,one-thousand-three.If you get to that object before you reach one-thousand-three,you don’t have three seconds of following time --- time needed to keep away from accidents.

Let followers pass.“If someone’s driving after you,get out of his way,”Clark advises.“You’re better of being safe than right.”

Expect the worst.In a study,the Federal Highway Administration(联邦公路局)found that 68 percent of drivers do not come to a complete stop at stop signs.When you’re driving and see someone come near to a stop sing,assume the person’s not going to stop.

And when you stop at a crossing and another car comes near with its turn signal on,don’t take it true that the driver will turn.Instead,wait until he turns.He may have had the signal on for miles.

Stay outside.In crowd,multilane(多车道) traffic,drive in either the outside--left or outside--right lane.“That allows you somewhere to go if a problem develops,”traffic expert Francis Kenel says.“If you’re in the middle,all you can do is to pause from time to time.”

     Wearing ties was originally the mark of Britain's most powerful classes, which made the tie itself a symbol
of power and respect. And that led it to be adopted by a much larger tribe-the business tribe.
     You cannot wear a tie if you work with machinery. So wearing a tie became a sign that you were a man
who used your brain to make a living,rather than your hands. It showed you were serious. It showed you were
a professional. It meant that everyone who wanted a job in business had to wear one. It was just impossible to
take se riously a man who didn't wear a piece of colored silk around his neck.
     This is how millions of people came to be wearing ties across the world. They are part of the uniform of
business.
     "Ties offer a point of indifference," says John Milne, head of the British Guide of Tie Makers, "They give
a chance to say something about their own personality."
     So if you happen to meet a man with a very brightly colored tie, there is a good chance that he is the office
joker. There is also a good chance that he will be wearing brightly colored socks.
     Is there a future for ties? The signs are not promising. Tie wearing seems to be rare among the new bread
of entrepreneurs (创业者) in the Internet and new technology industries. Many political leaders, including
former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, now go without ties. This shows they are men of the people-but not
the people wearing ties.
     Up until around 1960, it was common for men across the western world to wear hats as part of their
business uniform. That changed with the election of John F. Kennedy to the presidency of the United States.
Kennedy never wore a hat-in fact his nickname was "hatless Jack". Seeing that the most powerful man in the
world did not have to wear a hat, millions of other men decided that they did not have to, either. Hats simply
vanished across the Western world. Perhaps "tieless Tony" (former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair) will have
the same effect as "hatless Jack".
