Study Notes

Driving and Highway Regulations

Curvy highways require drivers to reduce speed for safe navigation.
Designated areas exist on limited access highways for legal vehicle backing after missing an exit.

Vehicle Restrictions for Road Tests

Road tests may be refused if a vehicle has a seating capacity greater than seven.
Vehicles registered as farm vehicles or rental vehicles can also lead to test refusal.
Mechanical safety of the vehicle is crucial for passing the road test.

Speed Limits and Passing

Drivers are not allowed to exceed the speed limit, including when passing other vehicles.
Always obey speed limits in construction zones at all times, regardless of worker presence.

Braking Techniques

Threshold braking involves applying strong braking force just before wheel lock occurs, then easing off slightly if necessary.
Improper techniques like pumping or locking brakes are unsafe in vehicles without anti-lock brakes.

Emergency Vehicles

When approached by an emergency vehicle with sirens, drivers must yield and allow safe passage by reducing speed and providing space.

Road Signs and Indicators

Signs indicating school areas, pedestrian crosswalks, playground zones, and other instructions must be heeded for safety.
Specific symbols include warnings for slow-moving vehicles and instructions related to pedestrian and vehicle interactions.

Funeral Processions

Yield the right-of-way when encountering a funeral procession at intersections; do not attempt to break through.

Recovery from Skids

In a skid, the driver should steer in the desired direction of control rather than braking hard or accelerating.

Vehicle Signage

"Slow-moving vehicle" signs must be displayed on vehicles operating at speeds less than 40 km/h.

Turning left at a green light requires caution; the driver must yield to oncoming traffic and ensure it's safe to proceed without blocking intersections.

Weave Zones

Weave zones on highways are areas where entrance and exit lanes are close together, requiring careful navigation around entering and exiting vehicles.
