Study Notes
Driving Safety and Procedures
- When another driver passes while you're at speed limit, it's best to slow down and allow the pass.
- Exit your vehicle on the curb side for maximum safety after parking.
- Always signal at least 100 feet before making a turn to inform other drivers.
Lane Changes and Speed Limits
- Signal by hand or using a device whenever changing lanes.
- A posted speed limit of 55 mph applies only in favorable driving conditions, meaning be aware of road conditions that may necessitate slower speeds.
- On highways numbered by the state or U.S., the speed limit for passenger cars is 70 mph.
Overtaking and Turning Guidelines
- After overtaking another vehicle on a two-lane road, wait until you can see the vehicle in your rear-view mirror before returning to the right lane.
- When turning left from a three-lane, one-way street, always use the left lane for your turn.
Traffic Signals and Parking
- A green arrow shown with a red light indicates you may proceed carefully in the direction indicated.
- When parallel parking, maintain a distance of 6 to 18 inches from the curb.
Night Driving and Visibility
- In fog conditions, improve visibility by using the lower beam of your headlights.
- After sunset, headlights must be turned on 30 minutes after sunset.
- Vehicle lights should be illuminated when visibility is restricted to less than 1000 feet, day or night.
Defensive Driving Practices
- To prevent accidents, a defensive driver should remain alert and monitor for potential trouble spots.
- If drowsy while driving, the recommended action is to stop, exit, and walk around to restore alertness.
Nighttime Driving Precautions
- Driving slower at night is essential due to reduced visibility ahead.
- Dim headlights when an oncoming vehicle approaches within 500 feet to prevent blinding other drivers.
- On multi-lane highways, slower drivers are advised to stay in the right-hand lane for smoother traffic flow.
Handling Nighttime Blinding
- If blinded by an approaching vehicle at night, slow down and avoid making direct eye contact with the vehicle's headlights for safety.
