    Study Notes

    • Common contributors include exceeding the speed limit and inappropriate speed for conditions.

    • Always check the rearview mirror, side mirror, and blind spot before changing lanes.
    • Use your directional signal to indicate lane changes.

    Intersection Protocols

    • When approaching a yellow light, prepare to stop before the intersection instead of speeding up.
    • Yield the right-of-way when turning left at intersections.

    Drowsiness and Driving

    • Drowsiness can impair judgment, similar to the effects of alcohol.

    Vehicle Stopping and Passing Regulations

    • Understand the rules of stopping at intersections, including a complete stop for flashing red lights.
    • Recognize double solid yellow lines signify no passing allowed.

    School Bus and Bicycle Safety

    Traffic Signs and Signals

    • Familiarize yourself with road signs, such as diamond-shaped signs indicating road hazards.
    • A solid white line on the right indicates that the road is narrowing.

    Hydroplaning Prevention

    • To prevent hydroplaning, maintain tire maintenance, reduce speed on wet roads, and avoid standing water.

    Safe Passing Practices

    Alcohol Consumption and Driving

    • A five-ounce glass of wine contains the same amount of alcohol as a 12-ounce beer.
    • Recognize that driving under the influence affects all drivers, not just those who consume alcohol.

    • Use low beam headlights in rain or fog for improved visibility.
    • Be aware of blind spots, areas not visible in mirrors.

    Seat Belt and Passenger Safety

    • In New York, all drivers and passengers must wear seat belts in moving vehicles.

    Stopping Distance Considerations

    • A fully loaded tractor-trailer traveling at 55 mph requires up to 400 feet to stop completely.
    • Stopping distance increases on wet or icy roads.

    Signaling and Merging Techniques
