Study Notes
General Driving Safety
- Obey normal posted speed limits in work zones unless reduced speed limits are indicated.
- In intersections without stop signs or signals, yield to approaching vehicles from the right.
Parking and Hill Safety
- When parking downhill, turn wheels sharply away from traffic to prevent rolling into the road.
Lane Changing Protocols
- Use mirrors and shoulder checks to ensure no vehicles are in blind spots before changing lanes.
Signaling and Turning
- Signal at least 100 feet before making a turn to alert other drivers.
Weather and Road Conditions
- Roads are most slippery when it first starts to rain; take extra caution during these times.
- Turn on headlights in rainy, snowy, or foggy conditions, or when visibility is poor (under 500 feet).
Lighting Requirements
- Use low-beam headlights when driving through fog to improve visibility without reflecting light back at you.
Communicating with Other Drivers
- Tap the brake pedal rapidly three to four times to signal to following drivers that you are stopping or slowing down unexpectedly.
Emergency Vehicle Protocol
- Yield the right of way to emergency vehicles with flashing lights and sirens, and stop until they pass.
Pre-Driving Checklist
- Always adjust your seat and mirrors before starting to drive for optimal control.
Traffic Light Understanding
- A green light indicates the driver may proceed if there is no opposing traffic.
Road Rules
- It is illegal to drive on the shoulder unless directed by law enforcement.
- A steady green traffic light means proceed through an intersection if it is safe.
Lane Markings Interpretation
- A dashed white line indicates that changing lanes is permissible if safe; a solid white line suggests staying in the lane unless necessary to change.
Construction Zone Awareness
- Warning signs indicate uneven lanes due to road work; drive cautiously.
Route Sign Knowledge
- Route signs communicate the type of road (Interstate, U.S. state, or county) that drivers are on.
Pedestrian Right of Way
- If making a turn and a pedestrian is present in your path, yield to them.
Handling Vehicle Emergencies
- In the event of a blowout, maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel, and steer straight while gradually slowing down.
Skid Recovery Techniques
- If skidding, steer in the direction of the skid and continue to correct steering until control is regained.
Shared Lane Usage
- Shared center lanes can be used for turning by vehicles traveling in either direction.
Identifying Slippery Conditions
- Be cautious of the first few minutes of rain on hot pavement, as it can become slick quickly; icy spots often appear first on bridges and shaded areas.
Following Distance
- Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead by following the two-second rule in good road conditions.
Train Crossings
- Always be vigilant at train crossings; never assume that a train is not approaching, regardless of previous experience.
