1145   Utility Vans, Part 2   (DVD)

Driving utility vans is different from driving cars. Generally, the larger the vehicle, the more room you need to manuever and the longer it takes you to stop. Also, larger vehicles have larger blind spots. To drive a utility van safely, it is important to know your vehicle and to know its limitations.

The key training points in this video include:

• Familiarize yourself with your van before driving it for the first time.
• Check your blind spots before moving.
• Drive defensively.
• Adjust your driving in adverse weather (slow down).
• Watch for other cars and pedestrians in parking lots and parking garages.

This video subject is a continuation of DVD number 1144.
