Stopping Distances
- A motor vehicle with good brakes traveling at 50 mph can stop within approximately 229 feet under ideal conditions.
- Stopping a vehicle from 20 mph requires about 63 feet when considering both reaction time and stopping distance.
Driver Interaction
- If another driver honks and attempts to pass while you are adhering to the speed limit, reduce speed to allow them to maneuver safely.
- When being passed by another vehicle, maintain your lane position without drifting or making abrupt movements.
Speed Limits
- Posted speed limits indicate that 55 mph can be driven only when conditions are favorable; otherwise, adjust speed appropriately.
- In urban areas, the speed limit for passenger vehicles is established at 30 mph, reflecting the higher potential for pedestrian activity and cross traffic.
Highway Regulations

Lane Management
- For safe lane changes after overtaking another vehicle on a two-lane road, do not merge back until the overtaken vehicle is no longer visible in the rear-view mirror.
- When making a left turn from a three-lane, one-way street, utilize the leftmost lane for the safest maneuver.
Emergency Situations
