Study Notes
Vehicle Safety and Driving Techniques
- Reducing blind spots can be achieved by installing large side mirrors for better visibility.
- Use lower headlight beams when approaching an oncoming vehicle within 500 feet and when following another vehicle within 300 feet to ensure safety.
- Recommended new hand positions on the steering wheel are at 8 and 4 o'clock for improved control.
Collision Responsibility
- If a driver in front stops suddenly and a collision occurs, the fault lies with the driver behind.
Speed and Collision Risk

- Speed directly affects the stopping distance required; as speed increases, so does the stopping distance.
Handling Curves
- Always enter curves at a lower speed than the posted limit to maintain control and avoid potential accidents.
Driver Limitations
- Stiffness in the neck can hinder a driver’s ability to look behind and check blind spots, emphasizing the importance of mobility for safe driving.
Headlight Usage
- Headlights must be used any time from sunset to sunrise to enhance visibility for oneself and others on the road.
Forward Searching
