Study Notes
Speed Limits and Safety
- Exceeding the posted speed limit is not safe when passing another vehicle.
- The speed limit sign indicates the maximum safe speed for that specific road.
- Speed signs are classified as regulatory signs, controlling traffic behavior.
Pedestrian Safety
- Pedestrians with the right of way at intersections should use crosswalks and ensure vehicles can yield to them.
- Pedestrians must be cautious and aware when crossing streets.
Driving Practices
- It's dangerous to cut in front of large trucks while driving on highways.
- Failing to stop at the scene of a collision is a legal offense.
- It is unsafe to accelerate when the lane is ending; instead, merge safely.
Collision Causes
- Crashes often occur when a driver travels faster than others on the road.
Fire Safety
- Water should never be used on gasoline or diesel fires, as it can exacerbate the situation.
Driving at Night
- Keeping your eyes fixed ahead is not a recommended practice for night driving.
- The likelihood of fatal crashes is increased during nighttime rather than during the day.
Headlight Awareness
- To avoid overdriving your headlights, ensure you can stop within the distance illuminated by them.
Safety Belt Usage
- Concerns about clothing wrinkles from safety belts can be mitigated by placing a small towel between the belt and the body.
Crash Statistics
- Highway motor vehicle crashes occur approximately every five seconds.
Impaired Driving
- Driving while angry can be as hazardous as driving under the influence of alcohol.
- The American Medical Association identifies a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.03 as a threshold for unsafe driving.
- A BAC of 0.08 leads to legal presumption of impairment in most states.
Anger and Stress Management
- Effective anger management while driving includes practicing proper breathing techniques.
- A helpful relaxation method when stressed is to take three deep breaths.
Understanding Fatigue
- Fatigue is indeed considered an impairment to driving ability.
