Study Notes
Right Turns

- Ensure the turn begins and ends in the correct lane without swinging wide into other traffic lanes.

Open Containers and Alcohol
- Possessing or drinking from open containers of alcohol in a motor vehicle is illegal, regardless of whether you are driving.
- Operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol is strictly prohibited.
Driving on Gravel or Dirt Roads
- Traction on gravel or dirt roads is significantly reduced compared to pavement, necessitating lower speeds.
- Increased stopping distance and risk of skidding are factors to consider.
Deep Puddles on the Road
- Avoid deep puddles if possible to prevent skidding; they can create hazardous driving conditions.
- Slippery surfaces like ice or oil should also be avoided.
Emergency Vehicles
- Yield to emergency vehicles with flashing lights by driving to the right edge of the road and stopping until they pass.
- If in an intersection, clear it before stopping.
Flashing Yellow Lights

Collision Risks

Slippery Conditions Warning
