Study Notes
Intersection Awareness
- Prioritize checking for traffic controls when approaching an intersection.
- It’s never safe to cross railroad tracks when flashing lights are activated.
DUI and Licensing
- Conviction of a DUI results in a probationary license for 5 years.
- A DUI conviction remains on the driving record for life.
Driving Hazards
- Tailgating compromises a driver's ability to see the entire traffic picture.
- When roads are bumpy, tire traction decreases significantly.
Speed Management
- Slow down before entering a curve; sharper curves require slower speeds.
- Maintain a four-second following distance by adjusting speed as necessary.
Vehicle Positioning
- The best lane position on a two-lane street with parked cars is lane position 2.
- To avoid conflicts with parked cars, driving in lane position 2 is recommended.
Train Safety
- Always listen for approaching trains by reducing distractions.
- Flashing red lights at railroad crossings indicate a train is approaching; stop.
Traffic Signals and Turns
- A left green arrow is necessary to make a protected left turn.
- Turning right on a red light is allowed in Washington if the intersection is clear.
Parking and Waiting
- Never stop and wait on railroad tracks.
- If stopped behind a vehicle in the right lane at a four-lane street, prepare to stop for potential hidden pedestrians.
Emotional and Mental Readiness
- Alcohol significantly impairs a driver's abilities, with even small amounts causing unawareness of impairment.
- If emotions affect driving, it’s safest not to drive at all.
Fatigue and Risk Assessment
- To alleviate driver fatigue, pull over, exit the vehicle, and stretch.
- Successful resolution of risk situations enhances risk evaluation skills.
Safety Measures
- Always read medicine labels for potential side effects that may impair driving.
- Use of safety belts notably reduces the risk of serious injury during accidents.
Special Conditions
- In vehicles without ABS, employ threshold braking to slow down without losing traction.
- If hydroplaning occurs, ease off the accelerator and assess lane position.
School and Speed Zones
- In school zones, unless otherwise posted, the speed limit is 20 mph.
- When a school bus with flashing red lights is stopped, all traffic in both directions must halt.
Alcohol and Drug Effects
- Marijuana affects coordination, reaction time, and increases sleepiness; impairment can last up to 5 hours.
- The legal THC limit for individuals under 21 years is 0.00 nanograms per milliliter of blood.
Headlight Usage
- Use low beam headlights during daylight to enhance visibility to other drivers.
- Headlights must be on from half an hour after sunset to half an hour before sunrise.
General Driving Behaviors
- Maintain a greater following distance when tailing a motorcycle for added safety.
- Keeping out of bad situations is a crucial skill for effective driving.
