    Study Notes

    • In the event of an accident involving explosives, remove all explosives and keep bystanders away before moving the vehicles.
    • Emergency door on a bus must be closed while operating the vehicle.

    Driving Techniques

    • Double-clutching is useful during shifting and can be monitored using the tachometer.
    • For descending steep hills, maintain light steady pressure on the brake pedal.
    • Always slow down and check your speed when dimming lights at night.

    Vehicle Inspection and Safety

    • Federal and state laws require driver inspections of vehicles to identify potential issues before they cause accidents.
    • Inspect brake shoes for oil, grease, or fluid presence as part of pre-trip inspections.
    • Check critical items and watch gauges regularly during trips for safe vehicle operation.

    Speed and Distance Management

    • Select a speed allowing for stopping within visible distances; in general, if speed doubles, stopping distance increases fourfold.
    • Leave adequate following distance based on speed; for example, at 55 mph in a semi, maintain a 4-second distance.

    Hazard Awareness and Management

    • Recognize various hazards such as blind intersections, and take necessary precautions.
    • Mark stalled vehicles properly using reflective triangles to ensure visibility, especially if obstructed.

    Proper Use of Equipment

    • Retarders assist in slowing down vehicles, but should be turned off in wet conditions to prevent skidding.
    • Familiarize yourself with an anti-lock braking system (ABS) by checking the ABS light on the dashboard.

    Adverse Conditions and Emergency Responses

    • Identify slippery areas immediately after freezing weather, such as shaded regions and bridges.
    • Understand the correct response if tire failure occurs: stay off the brakes and maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel.

    Maintenance and Equipment Knowledge

    • Minimum tread depth for front tires is 4/32 inch; ensure tire conditions are checked routinely.
    • Vehicles should not operate with re-grooved, recapped, or retreaded tires on the front wheels.

    Regulatory Compliance

    • Georgia's "Move Over" Law requires drivers to change lanes or slow down for emergency vehicles.
    • Use warning devices correctly if stopping on a highway to ensure your safety and that of other drivers.

    Driving Behavior Insights

    • Distinguish aggressive driving from road rage by understanding that road rage includes intent to harm.
    • Be aware that tiredness affects driving and aim for 7-8 hours of sleep to avoid "sleep debt."

    General Safety Practices

    • Maintain a proper braking technique, especially when descending hills; begin with the engine in low gear.
