Study Notes
Right-of-Way and Intersection Rules
- Drivers must yield the right-of-way to vehicles already in an intersection when approaching.
- Left turns from a one-way road into a one-way road should be made into the left lane or left side of a single lane.
- At a four-way stop sign, drivers from all directions must stop; if two arrive simultaneously, the driver on the left yields to the driver on the right.
- If an emergency vehicle approaches, pull over to the right side of the road and stop until it passes or is confirmed safe.
Signage and Their Colors
- Service signs utilize blue with white letters and symbols, while destination signs use green with white letters.
- Regulatory signs feature black letters on a white background.
- Pentagonal signs indicate school crossings.
Safe Driving Practices
- In case of a vehicle cutting in front unexpectedly, ease off the gas pedal to maintain control.
- Check rearview mirrors frequently to monitor traffic behind.
- Maintain extra space in front when hauling heavy loads, trailer, or following motorcycles.
- Maintain lower speeds in construction zones and around areas with traffic congestion caused by curious drivers.
Handling Skids and Tire Blowouts
- In the event of skidding, avoid tapping the gas pedal.
- If a tire blows out, grip the steering wheel firmly and slowly release the gas pedal.
School Bus and Railroad Signals
- Flashing red lights on a school bus indicate it is stopped to load or discharge passengers.
- Always stop before crossing railroad tracks if there's insufficient room to clear the tracks.
Other Safety Measures and Emergency Responses
- In case of a steering failure, do not panic; activate emergency lights, move to the roadside gradually and stop safely.
- To avoid temporary blindness from oncoming headlights, glance at the side of the road.
- If your vehicle enters water, exit promptly before it sinks.
Signaling and Merging
- Use turn signals adequately before maneuvering to ensure visibility to other drivers.
- When entering an expressway with a short acceleration lane, stop and wait for a large gap in traffic before accelerating.
