Study Notes
Parking and Waiting Scenarios
- Wheels should not be pointed straight ahead when waiting to make a left turn or when parked on a hill/ sloping driveway.
- When parked on a level roadway without a curb, wheels should be turned towards the edge to prevent rolling into traffic.
Maintaining Safe Distances
- Increase distance from the vehicle ahead when being tailgated to avoid collisions.
- Additional factors affecting following distance include driving slower than the speed limit and vehicle size.
Turning and Right-of-Way
- Wait for trucks or buses to complete their right turns before making your own.
- Effectively handle traffic signals and signage, like stopping when directed by a police officer despite a red light indication.
Railroad Crossings
- A yellow circle with a black 'X' indicates an approaching railroad crossing; prepare to stop rather than proceeding without caution.
Driving Conditions
- Use low beams when driving in fog, rain, or snow for better visibility.
- Gradually make speed and directional changes under snowy or icy conditions to maintain control.
Alcohol Absorption
- A person's weight significantly influences their alcohol absorption rate, impacting their level of intoxication while driving.
Road Markings and Signage
- A broken yellow centerline allows passing on the left when the way ahead is clear.
- A white sign that says "Slower Traffic Keep Right" instructs slower vehicles to stay in the right lane.
- An orange and red triangular sign on vehicles indicates they are slow-moving; drivers should exercise caution.
Lane Changing Protocol
- Proper lane changing requires looking over the right shoulder for right turns and the left shoulder for left turns to ensure safety.
Signaling and Intersections
- Signaling for at least 100 feet before making a right turn is essential for alerting other drivers.
- A red triangle 'Yield' sign mandates letting cross traffic pass before proceeding through an intersection.
Fatigue and Driving Risks
- Driving while fatigued significantly increases the risk of falling asleep at the wheel, endangering personal safety and others.
Work Zone Safety
- It is crucial to reduce speed in work zones and stay prepared to stop suddenly to ensure everyone's safety in high-traffic areas.
