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.
