Study Notes
Managing Sun Glare
- Use sun visors to block direct sunlight and reduce glare.
- Wear polarized sunglasses to enhance visibility and comfort.
Approaching Vehicles with One Light
- Exercise caution; the vehicle may be a motorcycle or a vehicle with a malfunctioning light.
Nighttime Driving and Eye Adjustment
- Allow a few moments for eyes to acclimate to darkness before increasing speed.
Driving in Rain at Night
- Utilize low-beam headlights for better visibility and to prevent glare on wet surfaces.
Highway Construction Zones at Night
- Reduce speed and be alert for workers and equipment, adhering to posted signs.
Flashing DON'T WALK Signal at Crosswalk
- Proceed with caution; do not enter the crosswalk if the signal is flashing.
Visually Impaired Pedestrians at Signalized Intersections
- Rely on auditory signals like beeping sounds or verbal cues to navigate safely.
Pedestrian Behavior at Intersections without Signals
- Obey traffic laws, yielding to traffic before crossing.
Countdown Numbers on Pedestrian Signals
- Indicate the remaining time available for pedestrians to safely cross the street.
Approaching an Intersection with a STOP Sign
- Come to a complete stop, check for pedestrians and other vehicles before proceeding.
Checking Blind Spots Before Changing Lanes
- Use mirrors and perform head checks to ensure no vehicles are in adjoining lanes.
Avoiding High-Beam Headlight Glare from Oncoming Vehicles
- Look toward the right edge of the road to minimize direct glare.
High-Beam Headlight Use on Open Roads
- Use high beams in dark areas when no vehicles are present, switching to low beams when encountering others.
Avoiding Rear-End Collisions When Changing Lanes
- Signal intentions early and check mirrors before merging into the new lane.
Avoiding Sun Glare While Driving
- Adjust seat position and use sun visors effectively to block sunlight.
Crosswalks with Blind Pedestrians
- Stop and yield the right of way to blind pedestrians when their guide dog or white cane is present.
Gesture of Blind Pedestrian Pulling in Cane
- This typically indicates that the pedestrian has finished crossing or is about to cross.
Caution with Hybrid or Electric Vehicles Near Blind Pedestrians
- Hybrids and electrics are quieter, increasing the risk of not being heard by blind pedestrians during maneuvers.
Right-of-Way on Steep, Narrow Mountain Roads
- The vehicle facing uphill generally has the right-of-way; it has the advantage of backing up if necessary.
Crosswalks with Flashing Lights
- Proceed with caution, ensuring it is safe to cross or allowing pedestrians to cross as needed.
