Study Notes
General Driving Safety
- Following the same vehicle for an extended period can lead to relaxation and reduced attentiveness, increasing accident risk.
- Use low beam headlights when overtaking at night to prevent blinding the other driver.
Emergency Situations
- If an emergency vehicle is approaching from behind, pull over to the right and stop until it passes.
- Always yield to pedestrians, using caution and keeping control of your vehicle, especially in unmarked crosswalks.
Turn Signals and Maneuvers
- Activate turn signals well in advance of a turn to clearly communicate your intentions to other drivers.
- When making a left turn, keep your wheels straight while waiting to avoid being pushed into oncoming traffic.
Road Conditions and Speed Limits
- Paved roads are slickest during the first few minutes of rainfall, necessitating cautious driving.
- Adhere to posted speed limits only under ideal driving conditions; adjust speeds in bad weather.
Intersections and Accidents
- Most accidents occur at intersections. Approach with caution and stop if blocked before the crosswalk.
- If involved in an accident resulting in over $1,000 in property damage, report it within 60 days.
Parking Regulations
- Park parallel to the curb with a maximum distance of 12 inches.
- Before leaving a vehicle parked downhill, turn the wheels toward the curb to prevent rolling.
Lane Use and Merging
- Utilize the left lane for making left turns on a two-way, four-lane street.
- On the interstate, use the right lane if traveling slower than the surrounding traffic; signal and check the left shoulder when merging.
Interaction with Law Enforcement
- Always obey traffic directions given by law enforcement officers.
DUI Laws and Penalties
- First-time offenders under Mississippi DUI laws face penalties ranging from $250 to $1,000, potential license suspension, driving school, and jail time.
Bus and School Zones

Handling Vehicle Issues
- In the case of a blowout, ease off the accelerator and brake slowly to maintain control.
General Awareness

- If mistakenly taking the wrong exit on the interstate, continue and safely re-route rather than attempting to reverse.
