Study Notes
Safe Night Driving
- Increase following distance, avoid driving when tired, and ensure headlights work for nighttime safety.
Road Signs
- A divided highway ends sign indicates the end of divided lanes.
- Warning signs are usually yellow with black markings, like “Slippery when wet”.
- Pennant-shaped signs indicate no passing zones, while pentagonal signs indicate school zones.
Blood Alcohol Concentration
- Legal BAC limit for drivers 21 and older is 0.08 percent; driving under influence is dangerous and illegal.
Handling Aggressive Drivers
- Maintain calm and give space if an aggressive driver cuts you off; retaliating can escalate danger.
Lane Changes and Passing
- Always check mirrors, signal intentions, and ensure the lane is clear before changing lanes or passing.
- Slow down for vehicles attempting to pass to provide sufficient space.
Pedestrian Right-of-Way
- Always yield to pedestrians and cars caught in intersections, even with a green light.
Emergency Vehicles
- Yield the right-of-way to emergency vehicles with flashing lights and follow any instructions given over loudspeakers.
Driving on Wet Roads
- Wet pavements are especially slippery after rain; maintain a safe speed and increase stopping distance.
Speed Management
- Never exceed legal speed limits or drive faster than conditions allow; adjust speed before entering curves for control.
Managing Tire Blowouts
- In case of a blowout, hold the steering wheel firmly, maintain lane position, and gently slow down without slamming brakes.
Railroad Crossings
- Be prepared to stop when approaching railroad crossing warning signs; never disregard barriers or warning signals.
Turning Signals
- Always signal when changing lanes, pulling in or out of parking spaces, or merging into traffic.
Handling Missed Exits
- If you miss an exit on the freeway, proceed to the next exit instead of attempting to reverse or make dangerous maneuvers.
Dealing With Fatigue
- If tired, the safest action is to stop driving; fatigue can impair driving similar to alcohol.
Safe Turns at Intersections
- When waiting to turn left, ensure all lanes are clear before proceeding; never edge into lanes until safe.
Headlight Glare
- To reduce glare from oncoming headlights, focus on the right edge of the road instead of looking directly at the lights.
Aggressive Driving Situations
- Respond to aggressive driving by distancing yourself physically and mentally; do not make eye contact or provocative gestures.
