Study Notes
S.E.E. Strategy
- S.E.E. stands for Search, Evaluate, Execute.
- This strategy is essential for safe driving and should be used consistently.
ACC Setting
- The accessory (ACC) position allows the use of vehicle features without starting the engine.
- Leaving the ACC on can drain the vehicle's battery.
- Hazard flashers can be used without ignition in the ACC setting.
Following Distance
- Maintain a following distance of at least 3-4 seconds from the vehicle ahead.
- Increased distance is advised in poor weather or hazardous conditions.
Starting the Vehicle
- The gear selector must be in Park (P) when starting the vehicle.
- When starting, keep one foot on the brake pedal and the other on the "dead pedal."
Searching While Driving
- Drivers should look at the area immediately in front, behind, and 10-15 seconds ahead of the vehicle.
- It’s crucial to visually check the surroundings consistently.
Pre-Driving Checklist
- Perform a comprehensive check around the vehicle for pedestrians, pets, and objects.
- Adjust head restraints, seat and steering wheel positions, and mirrors.
- Secure the seatbelt and store away electronics before driving.
Idling Regulations
- Idling gas-powered vehicles is illegal in Maryland if unattended and unnecessary.
- Idling is typically brief (30-60 seconds) to warm up the car.
Car Starting Procedure
- For keyless starters: ensure the smart key is inside the vehicle, set the shifter to Park (P), hold the brake, then press the start button.
Vehicle Control Techniques
- Hand-to-hand steering keeps hands balanced at the 9-3 or 8-4 positions for better control during turns.
- Push-pull steering allows one hand to pull down while the other pushes over to return to neutral driving.
Evaluating Conditions
- Evaluating involves assessing the significance and state of your surroundings.
- Adjust driving habits based on changes in road conditions, signals, or unexpected obstacles.
Driving with Two Feet
- Using both feet is generally not safe; the left foot should remain on the dead pedal.
- Two-foot driving may only be acceptable in stick-shift scenarios.
Brake and Accelerator Interaction
- The car will move forward in Drive (D) without pressing the accelerator due to automatic transmission functionality.
