This document outlines various "road rules" presented by David Israel Yokley at the Summer Institute 2012. It discusses embracing technology like GPS, checking tire pressure which can improve gas mileage and safety, practicing lane courtesy by yielding to faster vehicles, avoiding tailgating and speeding tickets, and not driving while drowsy. Strategies are presented for each rule like using a smartphone for navigation, checking tire pressure when cold, moving over for faster drivers, staying calm when tailgated, finding a "rabbit" to pace speed off of, and taking breaks or drinking caffeine if feeling drowsy. The document concludes by thanking participants and identifying it as part of the Summer Institute 2012.

mileage by up to 3.3
percent by keeping your
tires inflated to the proper
pressure. Under-inflated
tires can lower gas mileage
by 0.3 percent for every 1

49. Driving While Drowsy
Adults between 18-29 are much more likely to drive while drowsy compared
to other age groups.
Men are more likely to drive while drowsy. Men are almost twice as likely to
fall asleep while driving .
People tend to fall asleep more on high-speed, long, boring, rural highways.
However, those who live in urban areas are more likely to doze off while
driving compared to people in rural or suburban areas .
Most crashes or near misses occur between 4:00 – 6:00 a.m.; midnight –
2:00 a.m. and 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. are also peak times for crashes to occur.
