Study Notes

Parking and Vehicle Positioning

Always set your parking brake when parked on a hill and leave the vehicle in gear or "park" position.
Before exiting a vehicle parked at the curb on a two-way street, look for vehicles or bicycles on the traffic side.

Traffic Signs

A yellow sign indicating a person walking signals a pedestrian crossing ahead.
A red and white "do not enter" sign prohibits entry from your direction.

Following Distance and Safe Driving Practices

Allow extra space in front when following a large tour bus; they require more stopping distance.
When passing another vehicle on a two-lane highway, ensure a large enough gap in oncoming traffic.

Night Driving and Visibility

Dim high beams within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle to avoid blinding them.
In low visibility conditions, such as heavy fog, pull off the road completely until visibility improves.

Child Safety and Legal Regulations

Children under eight must use a child passenger restraint system unless they are 4 feet 9 inches tall or taller and wearing a safety belt.
Legal U-turns can be made on a divided highway where a paved opening exists.

Maneuvering and Intersection Behavior

Signal continuously during the last 100 feet before turning, regardless of surrounding vehicles.
At intersections with no crosswalks, pedestrians always have the right of way.

Road Conditions and Behavior near Work Zones

When driving near road work zones, pass carefully and avoid distractions.
If approached by a driver likely to pull out in front of you, the safest response is to slow or stop your vehicle and use your horn.

Never turn in front of an approaching light rail vehicle; prioritize safety.
On a narrow two-lane road with multiple vehicles behind you, drive into turnout areas to let them pass.

Light Signals and Lane Changes

At a green traffic light, proceed only after yielding to any vehicles or persons still in the intersection.
Always check your blind spot by looking over your shoulder before changing lanes.

Navigating Curves and Sharp Turns

Slow down when approaching a sharp curve or hill; visibility may be limited.
Even at the legal speed limit, exercise caution on sharp curves due to hidden hazards.

General Road Rules

Yield the right of way at intersections without stop signs; be ready to stop if necessary.
In foggy conditions, use low beam lights for better visibility, alongside windshield wipers.

Additional Driving Considerations

Safety belts increase survival chances in collisions; understanding how medications may affect driving is the driver's responsibility.
