Study Notes
Parking Techniques
- Hill Parking: Requires turning the front wheels to prevent rolling downhill when the vehicle is unattended.
- Perpendicular Parking: Involves parking at a right angle to the curb.
- Angle Parking: Parking diagonally to the curb to maximize space utilization.
- Parallel Parking: Needs a space approximately six feet longer than the vehicle.
Turning Maneuvers
- Turnabout: A maneuver to turn the vehicle around to face the opposite direction.
- Mid Block U-Turn: Requires a wide space, as no backing is involved.
- Back Into The Driveway On The Right Side: Used when a right-side driveway is available and there's no traffic behind.
- Three-Point Turnabout: Involves stopping the vehicle across traffic lanes to complete the turn.
Mirrors and Reference Points
- Convex Mirror: Provides a wider view of the vehicle's surroundings.
- Reference Point: A part of the vehicle linked to roadway elements from the driver’s perspective.
- Standard Reference Point: A common reference used by most drivers.
- Personal Reference Point: A unique marker for individual drivers.
Safety and Vision
- Escape Path: An area to maneuver in case of potential conflict.
- Field of Vision: The entire area visible to the driver while looking straight ahead.
- Closed Zone: A space limited due to restrictions impacting line of sight or path of travel.
- Open Zone: A space allowing freedom of movement without obstacles.
Hazard Management
- Space Cushion: The area around the vehicle that is free from hazards and conflicts.
- Minimize a Hazard: Involves increasing distance from potential risks to reduce danger.
- Separate Hazards: Adjusting speed to manage one hazard at a time rather than facing multiple simultaneously.
Vision Techniques
- Selective Seeing: Identifying only the relevant clues and hazards important for driving.
- Scanning: Conducting an orderly visual search pattern for effective observation.
- Peripheral Vision: The area surrounding central vision that provides additional awareness.
Driving Ranges and Techniques
- 12-15 Second Range: The ideal scanning range for noticing changes in your line of sight and path of travel.
- 4-6 Second Range: Provides the final update on your vehicle's intended path of travel.
- Overdriving Headlights: Occurs when driving too fast for visibility; remedy by reducing speed.
Headlight Usage
- High Beams: Designed for open country roads, shining up to 500 feet ahead.
- Low Beams: Typically used in darkness, illuminating up to 150 feet in front of the vehicle.
