Study Notes

Turning and Signaling

Use turn signal at least 100 feet before making a right turn.
Signaling in advance is required by law for turns or lane changes.

Highway Signs

Warning signs indicate hazardous conditions on the road.
Following warning signs is crucial for safety to prevent accidents.

Passing Vehicles

You can return to the right lane after passing when the front bumper of the other car is visible in your rearview mirror.
Look over your right shoulder for sufficient distance before merging back.

Construction Zones

Fines for traffic violations are doubled in construction zones with active workers.
Exercise heightened caution and obey all instructions from signs and personnel in these areas.

Airbags and Seat Belts

Always wear seat belts, even if the vehicle has airbags for added safety.

Driving in Fog

Utilize low beam headlights during foggy conditions.
High beams can reflect off the fog, reducing visibility.

Interactions with Bicyclists

Drivers must exercise extreme caution when passing bicyclists due to potential disturbances in their balance.

Entering Roadways

Yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and roadway traffic when exiting from a private road or driveway.

Parking on Hills

For downhill parallel parking, turn wheels sharply towards the curb or roadside to prevent rolling into traffic.

Green Traffic Light Protocols

Stay clear of the intersection even if the light is green if vehicles are blocking your passage.

Alcohol and Drug Removal

The only effective way to reduce blood alcohol content (BAC) is to allow time for the body to metabolize alcohol.

Traffic Light Signals

A green arrow with a red light indicates you may only proceed in the direction of the green arrow if the intersection is clear.

Stopping at Intersections

Stop before the crosswalk when a stop sign is present, even if there is no stop line.

Puddles and Slippery Surfaces

Avoid deep puddles and other slippery conditions to maintain vehicle control and prevent skidding.

Effects of Alcohol

Alcohol negatively impacts reaction times, clarity of vision, judgment, and can increase risk-taking behavior.

Hand Signals

An extended left arm and hand upward indicates that the driver intends to make a right turn.
