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.
