Study Notes
Communicating with Other Drivers
- Keeping headlights on during the day enhances vehicle visibility, making it easier for others to see you.
- Improving communication with drivers should not involve expressing frustration; instead, focus on safety and clarity.
- A "closing-probability" indicates the likelihood of a vehicle and another object converging on a projected path.
Risks and Safety Precautions
- Vehicles ahead can pose risks by suddenly stopping or swerving into your lane unexpectedly.
- Efficient driving involves anticipating potential conflicts by scanning ahead, rather than being reactive.
Spatial Awareness and Driver Behavior
- Tailgating indicates poor spatial judgment, increasing the risk of collisions.
- Drivers engaged in lively conversations might become distracted, impacting their driving performance.
Responsible Driving Around Emergency Vehicles
- Upon encountering a fire truck with sirens and lights, pull over to the right and stop until it passes.
Awareness of Vulnerable Road Users
- Elderly pedestrians may take longer to cross streets, potentially up to 10 seconds.
- Storm grates can cause sudden, unexpected maneuvers from bicyclists, highlighting the need for caution.
- Animals near roadways can behave unpredictably, requiring drivers to exercise heightened awareness.
Maneuvering on Roads
- Avoid overtaking vehicles when approaching a hill crest for safety reasons.
- Tailgating before passing another vehicle is inadvisable and considered dangerous.
- When passing motorcycles, provide ample space as you would for any other vehicle.
Challenges with Large Vehicles
- Driving beside large trucks for extended periods is risky because of their extensive blind spots that may obscure smaller vehicles.
Responsibilities Towards Pedestrians
- Drivers hold both legal and moral responsibilities to ensure the safety of pedestrians on the road.
Understanding Weave Lanes
- Freeway speed-change (weave) lanes function for both acceleration and deceleration, necessitating vigilance when merging or changing speed.
