Study Notes
Safe and Legal Turns
- Move into the proper lane well before the turn for safety.
- For a left turn, use the far left lane; for a right turn, use the far right lane.
Stopping Distance
- Stopping distance equals reaction distance plus braking distance.
- Increased speeds, fatigue, or poor brakes require greater stopping distances.
Yielding at Intersections
- Yield to the vehicle on your right if reached at the same time.
- Yield to vehicles that reach the intersection first or those already in it.
Signaling When Turning
- Signal after passing through an intersection if turning beyond it to avoid confusion.
Turning from One-Way to One-Way
- Bring your vehicle into the nearest left lane on the new road unless directed otherwise.
Parking on Highways or Streets
- Always stop the engine, lock the ignition, remove the key, and set brakes.
- Avoid lowering windows when leaving your vehicle; it’s safer to raise them.
Lane Divisions
- Yellow lane dividers separate lanes of traffic going in opposite directions.

- Non-compliance with regulatory devices carries penalties.

- Check front, sides, and rear before backing, and continue to look to the rear while reversing.
Passing on Two-Lane Roads
