Study Notes

Driver Safety and Seat Adjustments

Properly adjusted head restraints prevent whiplash and should align with the back of the head.
Maintain both hands on the steering wheel at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions for better control.
The driver's seat should be upright with the body positioned 10 to 12 inches from the steering wheel for optimal driving posture.

Child Passenger Safety

Children under 20 lbs and less than 1 year must face the rear; children aged 1-3 years over 20 lbs can face forward.
Pregnant women should wear lap belts below the abdomen and shoulder belts above the belly.
For vehicles with airbags, children aged 12 and under should ride in the back seat for maximum safety.

Road Signs and Signals

Yield signs require drivers to slow down and yield to main road traffic.
A yellow left arrow signals to prepare to yield to oncoming traffic; protected left turns are about to end.

Roadway Markings and Parking Regulations

A solid yellow line with a broken yellow line indicates no passing if the broken line is on the driver's side.
Illegal parking includes areas within 15 feet of a fire hydrant and within 50 feet of a railroad crossing.

Safe Following and Lane Usage

The two-second rule for safe following distance applies at any speed.
To make a left turn from a one-way street, position the vehicle in the lane closest to the left curb.

Bicyclist Safety and Highway Merging

Drivers passing a bicycle must give a minimum distance of 3 feet.
When entering an interstate highway, check for traffic, adjust speed to match flow, and merge safely.

Emergency Procedures and Interstate Awareness

Emergency crossovers on interstates are restricted to emergency vehicles and highway maintenance crews.
Interstate driving requires heightened awareness of speed and constant alertness.

Weather Conditions and Night Driving

Continuous hard braking on ice and snow can lock wheels, leading to loss of steering control.
At night, reduced visibility due to headlights makes driving more hazardous.

Impaired Driving Awareness

Driving under the influence of drugs incurs penalties similar to those for alcohol.
Three beers consumed in one hour will take approximately three hours to leave the bloodstream.
Higher Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) increases intoxication levels and impairs driving skills such as alertness, concentration, reaction, and coordination.

Accident Reporting and License Violations

Drivers involved in reportable accidents must file a report to the Department of Safety within 20 days.
If not first on the scene of an accident and not needed, it is advised to continue driving without interference.
A driver's license can be revoked or suspended for accumulating 12 or more points from frequent traffic violations or for fraudulent alterations.
