Study Notes
Headlights and Visibility
- Low beams are preferred for fog, rain, or snow, city driving, and in traffic situations.
- High beams are utilized for open country driving without oncoming traffic.
- To avoid being blinded by oncoming high beams, look toward the right edge of the road.
Maneuvering and Interactions
- When overtaking a bicycle and facing oncoming traffic, slow down and let the oncoming vehicle pass first.
- A center lane can be designated for left turns only.
- The first rule of making a safe and legal turn is to move into the proper lane well before the turn.
Passing and Lane Usage
- Do not attempt to pass another vehicle unless there's enough space to pull back into your lane; always signal before passing.
- When turning left from a one-way street to another one-way street, start from the far left lane.
- Tailgating describes the action of following another vehicle too closely.
Intersections and Traffic Signs
- Yield to vehicles that arrive at an intersection before you and to vehicles on your right if you meet at the same time.
- Signal after passing through an intersection if you plan to turn beyond it.
- A single solid white line at an intersection requires you to stop before crossing it.
Emergency and Safety Protocols
- If a tire goes flat, grip the steering wheel tightly and maintain control; do not speed up or swerve.
- Always pull over and allow a tailgating driver to pass rather than increasing your speed.
- If experiencing vehicle trouble, immediately pull off the road and away from traffic.
Special Situations and Restrictions
- High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes are designated for carpools and vehicles with multiple occupants.
- A yield sign indicates a need to slow down and be prepared to stop for pedestrians or vehicles with the right-of-way.
- Passing is illegal when moving through an intersection.
Traffic Regulations and Behavior
- Use the left lane for passing or turning left on a highway with three or more lanes going in one direction.
- Keep a safe distance behind vehicles, as a vehicle's stopping distance equals the sum of braking distance and reaction distance.
- Large electronic arrow panels are common in work zones to direct traffic safely through altered road conditions.
Blind Pedestrians and Road Markings
- Blind pedestrians commonly use white canes or guide dogs for navigation.
- Yellow lines differentiate lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions, while white lines separate lanes moving in the same direction.
Overall Highway Safety
- Always approach intersections with caution, as they are prime locations for vehicle collisions.
- Adjust driving habits according to road conditions, such as avoiding high beams in fog or heavy rain.
