Study Notes
Right-of-Way and Traffic Rules
- Vehicle traveling uphill has the right-of-way on steep mountain roads when neither can pass.
- For roundabouts, always enter to the right of the central island.
- In multi-lane roundabouts, use the right lane if exiting less than halfway around; yield to vehicles that are exiting.
Vehicle Safety Features
- Adjust headrests to contact the back of the head to prevent neck injuries during rear impacts.
Road Markings
- Three primary types of pavement markings: yellow lines, white lines, and crosswalks.
- Yellow lines separate traffic moving in opposite directions, while white lines separate traffic moving in the same direction.
- Crosswalks (HAWK) indicate special pedestrian crossings.
Types of Pavement Lines
- Yellow line types include:
- Broken: can pass on right side.
- Solid: no passing zone.
- Double Solid: neither side can pass.
- Combined: solid means no passing on your side, broken allows passing on your side.
- White line types include:
- Broken: can change lanes.
- Solid: must remain in lane.
Stopping Distances
- Approximate stopping distances at 55 mph for various vehicles:
- Car: 200 ft.
- Bus: 230 ft.
- Commercial truck: 300 ft.
- Airplane: 5,280 ft.
Intersections and Yielding
- An intersection may lack signals and signs; drivers should yield to vehicles coming from the right.
DUI Regulations
- DUI fines vary with BAC levels and prior offenses:
- DWAI (0.05%): 8 points, $200-$500.
- 1st DUI (0.08%): 9-month revocation, $600-$1000.
- 2nd or subsequent DWAI/DUI (0.08%): 1-year revocation, $600-$1500.
- 3rd or subsequent DWAI/DUI: 2-years revocation, $600-$1500.
Traffic Signals and Maneuvers
- Flashing signals at intersections require drivers to slow down and proceed with caution.
- A three-point turn is necessary for turning around in narrow streets.
Compliance and Penalties
- Non-compliance with the Express Consent Law results in a 60-day license revocation and a 2-year interlock device requirement.
Lane Changing Procedure
- Steps for changing lanes include signaling, checking mirrors, checking blind spots, changing lanes when safe, and turning off the signal afterward.
Night Driving and Highway Rules
- Headlights must be on from sunset to sunrise or when visibility is less than 1,000 ft.
- Right lane is for slower vehicles, left lane is for faster-moving traffic.
Skidding and Tire Maintenance
- In case of skidding on snow and ice, let off the accelerator and steer in the direction of the skid.
- Unbalanced tires and low pressure can cause faster wear, difficulty steering and stopping, reduced fuel economy, and increased stopping distances.
Traffic Control Signals
- A lighted red arrow prohibits proceeding in the indicated direction.
Freeway Entry and Alcohol Regulations
- Enter freeways at or near traffic speed to merge safely.
- BAC between 0.05% and 0.07% is considered DWAI; 0.08% or greater is considered DUI.
