Study Notes
Driver Safety and Seat Adjustments
- Properly adjusted head restraints prevent whiplash and should align with the back of the head.

- 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

- A yellow left arrow signals to prepare to yield to oncoming traffic; protected left turns are about to end.
Roadway Markings and Parking Regulations

Emergency Procedures and Interstate Awareness

Impaired Driving Awareness
