Study Notes
Vehicle Safety and Control
- Backing a vehicle is inherently dangerous.
- Use your right foot for both braking and accelerating.
- Speed limit in business or residential areas is typically 25 mph.
Lane Changes and Turns
- Always signal before changing lanes and ensure safety by checking blind spots.
- For left turns from a one-way street, position in the lane nearest to the left curb.
- When changing lanes, do not move within an intersection.
Traffic Signs and Signals
- Railroad crossing signs indicate caution when approaching tracks.
- One-way signs direct to drive only in indicated direction.
- Regulatory signs are primarily white with black, red, or green markings.
Driving in Work Zones
- Traffic control devices in construction areas are color-coded orange.
- Approach orange construction signs and cones with caution for potential workers and equipment.
- Fines for violations in work zones can exceed $1,000.
Drivers and Vehicle Conditions
- Give your body time to process alcohol or drugs; no quick fixes exist.
- If your vehicle has a mechanical issue, pull over safely and use hazard lights.
- Hydroplaning can start at speeds of 50 mph or more on wet roads.
Emergency and Dangerous Situations
- If disabled on the freeway, pull to the right shoulder and wait for help safely.
- In the event of a stuck accelerator, shift to neutral and apply brakes while seeking a safe area off the road.
- Always assume there may be hidden vehicles when visibility is obstructed by hills or curves.
Basic Driving Techniques
- When entering city traffic from a stop, you need half a block to reach safe speeds.
- Slow down significantly in heavy traffic to maintain stopping distance from the vehicle ahead.
- For parking without a curb, turn wheels away from the center of the road to reduce rolling into traffic.
Safety Features and Considerations
- Side-impact air bags can be dangerous for children unless they are properly secured in a restraint system.
- Big rig trucks may appear to turn left when making right turns; observe signals for safety.
- Always slow down before entering a curve rather than during it.
Pedestrian Signals and Interactions
- A "Walking Person" signal indicates it is legal for pedestrians to cross the street.
- Be prepared to halt in respects to emergency vehicles with flashing lights by moving lanes if safe.
