Study Notes
Traffic Signs and Signals
- A diamond-shaped sign indicates a road hazard, alerting drivers to potential dangers ahead.
- A "No parking" sign allows temporary stops for passenger loading or unloading.
- Solid yellow arrows on traffic signals function similarly to circular yellow lights, indicating caution.
Alcohol and Drug Influence
- Blood alcohol content (BAC) is not influenced by physical fitness but rather by the number of alcoholic drinks consumed.
- Just one alcoholic drink can affect driving ability significantly.
- Drinking coffee after alcohol does not lower blood alcohol concentration.
- Combining alcohol with prescription or over-the-counter medication can enhance the effects of both, increasing impairment.
- All types of drugs, including non-prescription drugs, can impair driving abilities and judgment.
School Buses and Bicyclists
- When a school bus is loading or unloading children, it is mandatory to stop completely until the red lights stop flashing and the stop arm is retracted.
- Bicyclists must ride on the right side of the road, adhering to traffic regulations.
Driving Safety Practices
- Always check for traffic by turning your head before leaving a parallel parking space.
- Slow down before entering curves to manage speed effectively.
- Maintain a larger space cushion when stopping on inclines for added safety.
- If an intersection is blocked despite a green light, remain outside the intersection until it clears.
Responsibilities and Penalties
- Refusal to take a chemical test can result in the suspension of your driver's license.
- The vehicle on the left must yield the right-of-way when two vehicles arrive simultaneously at an intersection.
- Always ensure all vehicle occupants are buckled up before starting the ignition.
Awareness of Surroundings
- Drowsiness, like drugs and alcohol, can impair judgment while driving.
- When approaching an accident scene, it is important to take necessary precautions, which may include following traffic laws and being aware of oncoming vehicles.
