Study Notes
Escape Paths and Visual Search
- Escape path is a designated route to avoid potential conflicts on the road.
- Orderly visual search pattern involves systematically scanning critical areas for safety.
- The vehicle is surrounded by zones, which represent six areas of space that are essential in driving.
Vehicle Control and Zones
- Path of travel refers to the space the vehicle will occupy as it moves.
- An open zone is a space that allows clear visibility and unobstructed travel.
- Space cushion signifies areas free of obstacles, allowing for safe maneuvering.
Vision and Awareness
- Field of vision encompasses all visible areas when looking straight ahead.
- A closed zone indicates restricted visibility or obstacles blocking your path.
- Compromise space involves giving more space to greater hazards for safety.
Hazard Management
- Minimizing a hazard entails increasing distance from risks.
- Traction refers to the grip between tires and the road, crucial for vehicle control.
- Selective seeing focuses on important visual cues that affect driving decisions.
Target Areas and Ranges
- Target area indicates the space far ahead, including left and right sides in the path of travel.
- The 12-15 second range is the optimal searching area to detect changes on the road.
- Peripheral vision includes the areas surrounding central vision, ensuring broader awareness.
Timing and Distance
- The 4-6 second range is vital for final updates on controlling the intended path.
- Scanning practices involve thorough and systematic evaluation of the environment.
- Separating hazards means adjusting speed to handle one risk at a time effectively.
Visual Techniques
- Central vision is the sharpest part of your field of vision for clear details.
- Line of sight defines the distance visible in the direction you are facing.
Situation Assessment (I, P, D, E)
- Various scenarios involve situational awareness and response strategies based on conditions:
- "P" indicates potential hazards, such as vehicles coming into your lane.
- "I" signifies information at intersections (e.g., stop signs, line of sight restrictions).
- "D" suggests decisions made in response to driving conditions (e.g., slowing down or lane changes).
- "E" refers to actions taken for safe driving, like checking mirrors or signaling intentions.
Communication and Vehicle Signals
- Lane position 3 indicates a vehicle's movement toward the right side of the road.
- Use of horn can alert cyclists or other vehicles.
- High-and-low beam headlights manage visibility when faced with oncoming traffic.
- Turn signal lights indicate intended left turns at intersections.
- Eye contact or body movements are essential for understanding other drivers' intentions at four-way stops.
Safety Equipment and Visibility
- Taillights enhance visibility from the rear in low-light conditions.
- Parking lights should be used when parked at the curb at night for safety.
- Hazard flasher lights signify vehicle breakdowns on the road to alert other drivers.
- Back-up lights are crucial for visibility when reversing from a parking space.
- Brake lights indicate a vehicle's intention to stop, promoting safety for trailing vehicles.
