    Study Notes

    Turning and Signaling

    • Signal at least 100 feet before making a turn.
    • Slow down and prepare to stop at a steady yellow or amber light.
    • When making a left turn, position your car in the lane nearest to the center before turning.

    Traffic Laws and Responsibilities

    • Driving without insurance can lead to license suspension and fines.
    • Both the student and the licensed driver are responsible for any traffic offenses committed by students.
    • Penalty for dishonesty on a license application includes fines starting from $200 and possible imprisonment for up to 6 months.

    Night Driving and Visibility

    • At night, be prepared to stop within the distance of what you can see ahead.
    • Test brakes after driving through deep puddles, as water can affect their functionality.

    Intersections and Right of Way

    • Approach intersections with caution; slow down and prepare to stop.
    • If two vehicles arrive at an uncontrolled intersection simultaneously, the driver on the left must yield to the driver on the right.
    • Always yield to oncoming traffic when turning left at a traffic light.

    Lane Usage and Passing

    • Use the lane nearest to the center of the road when making a left turn from a two-way street.
    • You may pass on the right if the car in front is turning left and a right lane is available.
    • Solid white lines across intersections indicate where to stop for a traffic sign.

    Signs and Signals

    • A yellow diamond-shaped sign indicates a warning.
    • A red and white octagonal sign means to stop, while a red and white triangular sign indicates yield.
    • Green lights signify to proceed in a safe manner, while flashing red lights mean to stop and proceed with caution.

    Safe Driving Practices

    • Maintain a following distance of at least two seconds behind the vehicle in front.
    • Avoid staring at any one thing for too long while driving.
    • Use your horn and lights to communicate with other drivers; hand signals are necessary if turn signals fail.

    Handling Difficult Situations

    • During the first few minutes of rain, roads are most slippery.
    • In case of a skid, take your foot off the gas.
    • If brake failure occurs, shift to a lower gear and pump the brakes.

    Additional Tips

    • When driving in open country, use high beams for better visibility.
    • If oncoming headlights obstruct your vision, look to the lower right side of your lane for guidance.
    • When parking, use parking lights only when necessary.
