Study Notes

Headlight Failure

If headlights fail, immediately turn on parking and hazard lights, then exit the roadway.

Mistakes in Reversing

Common mistakes while backing up include failing to look, not checking blind spots, and neglecting a vehicle walk-around.

Driving Trucks or SUVs

When driving larger vehicles like trucks or SUVs, reduce speed on curves and increase braking distance compared to cars.

Airbag Purpose

Airbags are designed for additional protection during an accident, not to prevent the accident itself.

Weekly Vehicle Checks

Important components to check weekly are oil levels and tire conditions.

Tire Tread Law

The legal minimum tire tread depth is 2/32 inch.

Liability for Mechanical Failures

Drivers can be held legally liable for accidents caused by mechanical failures of their vehicles.

Parking Brake Usage

Always engage the parking brake when leaving your vehicle unattended.

Brake Failure Response

In the event of brake failure, downshift to lower gears, pump the brakes, and apply the parking brake as needed.

Turn Signal Use

Utilize turn signals when changing lanes, turning from a main road to a side road, or turning onto a road from a parking lot.

Water Leaks from Vehicle

Clear water leaking from the vehicle typically indicates air conditioning condensation, not an oil or coolant leak.

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

ABS prevents wheel lock-up during braking, enhancing vehicle control.

Braking Without ABS

To prevent tire lock-up in vehicles without ABS, press the brakes hard, release slightly if the wheels lock, and repeat if necessary.

Pre-Drive Safety Checks

Each time you enter a vehicle, fasten your seatbelt, adjust mirrors, and familiarize yourself with all controls.

Seatbelt Safety

It is safer to wear a seatbelt than to be thrown clear of the vehicle in an accident.
