Study Notes
Collision Types and Safety
- Sideswipe collisions are not the most damaging type of collision.
- Head-on collisions are deadly at high speeds.
- Broadside collisions commonly occur at intersections.
- To avoid collisions, speeding up can help prevent rear-end or broadside collisions.
Weather-Related Driving
- Increased space should be given to bicyclists, pedestrians, and motorcyclists during bad weather as it affects their stability and control.
- In a tornado, the safest action is to find a ditch to lie flat in.
- Move inland and avoid low areas if a hurricane is approaching.
- High-beam headlights are ineffective for driving in fog.
Vehicle Handling and Control
- If your vehicle overheats, wait 20 minutes before opening the hood.
- Vapor lock can cause the engine to run roughly or stall when gasoline vaporizes.
- Hydroplaning risk increases during rain due to water mixing with road oils and dirt.
- For recovery from hydroplaning, apply gradual pressure to brakes.
Emergency Situations
- Turn around and drive in the opposite direction when approaching a flooded area.
- During winter storms, having all-weather tires, snow tires, or chains is advisable.
- When driving on icy roads, increased stopping distance results from reduced traction.
- Do not slam on the brakes if skidding; steer towards your planned path to regain control.
Post-Collision Actions
- After a collision, check for injured people first.
- You are not liable for damage to property next to a street or highway if involved in a collision, but must provide your information if damage occurs.
- Moving a victim from a crash scene is not advisable unless necessary.
Tire and Vehicle Maintenance
- Over-inflated tires are more prone to blowouts; under-inflated tires wear unevenly.
- Vehicle weight and tire condition significantly impact traction.
- Driving up a steep incline requires increasing pressure on the pedal to maintain speed.
Safety Precautions
- In rush hour traffic during heavy rain, slow down and increase following distance to ensure safety.
- Always remain calm to regain control if a vehicle veers off the highway.
- Avoid potholes to prevent tire damage and potential loss of control.
- It's important to counter steer after maneuvering out of the way of an obstacle.
