    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.
