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.
Crossing yellow lines is prohibited.

Role of Regulatory Devices

Regulatory devices instruct drivers to stop, proceed in a certain direction, or limit speed.
Non-compliance with regulatory devices carries penalties.

Safe Passing Situations

Do not attempt to pass vehicles when approaching or moving through intersections or crosswalks.

Backing Up Safely

Check front, sides, and rear before backing, and continue to look to the rear while reversing.

Passing on Two-Lane Roads

Always signal before passing; ensure there is enough space to return.
Avoid passing on two-lane roads as it increases collision risk.

Navigating Hills and Curves

Slow down and move to the right side before cresting hills or entering curves due to oncoming vehicle risk.

Turning from High-Speed Roads

Minimize abrupt slowing and signal intentions when turning from high-speed two-lane roadways.

Lane Usage on Multi-Lane Highways

Use the left lane for passing or turning left; middle lanes are typically smoother, right lane is for slower drivers.
