Study Notes

Road Conditions and Awareness

A road ahead with sharp turns requires heightened caution.
In work zones, it's crucial to slow down, maintain a two-second following distance, and pay close attention for safety.

Stopping Protocols

On uphill stops, ensure a larger space cushion compared to other areas like toll plazas and intersections.
At a railroad crossing with multiple tracks, wait for a clear view of both tracks before proceeding.

Signaling and Visibility

Use hand signals if turn signals malfunction to indicate your intent to turn.
Be particularly vigilant for motorcyclists, bicycles, and pedestrians as they can be hard to see in traffic.

Identifying Unsafe Driving

Drunk drivers may exhibit telltale signs such as weaving between lanes, driving slower than normal, and sudden stops.
If you miss a freeway exit, continue to the next exit; do not attempt to backtrack or make a U-turn.

Night Driving and Traffic Regulations

When approached by a vehicle with blinding headlights, look to the right side of the road to avoid glare.
Human error remains the leading cause of traffic crashes, indicating the importance of driver attention and judgment.

Traffic Laws and Safety Measures

It is illegal to pass on a two-lane road marked with a single solid yellow line on your side.
Alcohol consumption adversely affects drivers, leading to poor judgment, decreased concentration, and slower reaction times.

Railroad Crossing Guidelines

At railroad crossings, drivers must stop if signs or gates indicate it's necessary, and they should always look for trains.
When approaching a railroad crossing, involve measures such as slowing down and being ready to stop, depending on the warnings present.

Following Distances and Lane Divisions

Maintain a minimum of four seconds in following distance behind motorcycles for safety.
Traffic lanes in the same direction are divided by white lines, contrasting with yellow lines used for opposing traffic.

General Safety Practices

Increase following distances and ensure headlights are operational when driving at night.
Key traffic signals include red (stop), yellow (caution), and green (go), which inform vehicle movement and right-of-way.
