Study Notes
Road Signs and Signals
- Ruts in the road surface ahead signal potential hazards; caution advised.
- Winding road ahead requires reduced speed and increased awareness of curves.
- Bump or rough road ahead warnings suggest significant surface irregularities.
Vehicle Lighting Regulations
- High beam lights must be switched to low beam when an oncoming vehicle is at least 150 meters away.
Large Vehicle Backing Procedures
- The guide for backing a large vehicle should have a clear view of the vehicle's path while maintaining visual contact.
Overweight Vehicle Permit Requirements
- An overweight permit is necessary if the vehicle exceeds 4.3 meters in width.
Warning Sign Interpretations
- A sharp right curve sign indicates a need to reduce speed and prepare for a tight turn.
- Signs may also indicate turning restrictions at intersections.
Tire and Wheel Maintenance Indicators
- Metal or paint flakes around disc wheel lug nuts may suggest possible wheel movement issues.
Speed and Road Conditions
- Failing to reduce speed according to road conditions can enlarge the danger zone around the vehicle.
Following Distance for Heavy Vehicles
- A minimum following distance of 4 seconds is suggested when driving a truck or heavy vehicle behind another vehicle.
Load Management in Trucks
- When holding suspended loads, baffle the load to reduce rollover risks and ensure safety during sharp turns.
Trip Inspection Reports
- A written trip inspection report must include the date of inspection, but it does not require the gross vehicle weight.
Factors Influencing Turn Initiation
- Determining when to initiate a turn depends on the driver’s seat location and the vehicle's articulation point and width.
Pre-Trip Vehicle Checks
- A pre-trip inspection should include checks for brakes, gear functionality, and emergency systems like four-way flashers.
