While preparing for my traffic school test, I came
across the following section in the online traffic school
test manual.

Under a section titled
Safe Driving While in an Earthquake

"Drivers in California travel in the car approximately 63 million times a day"



I am curious to know how they came up with that number ?




Under the section titled
Emergencies - Dealing with Brake Failures while driving

Sideswipe Objects (attempting to reduce speed)
Sideswiping involves slowing the vehicle by deflecting the car off other objects on the road. No object should ever be hit head-on, nor should objects like curbs be hit, as they could cause the car to over-turn. Guard rails and parked cars would be good objects to sideswipe, as they might gradually slow the vehicle.



err...ok
