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.
