Study Notes
Preventing Left-of-Center Incidents
- Avoid distractions while driving to maintain focus and control.
- Regularly scan the road for debris or any obstructions that may pose a hazard.
- Adjust driving speed based on road conditions for optimal safety.
- Execute safe and legal turns, ensuring the path is clear.
- Maintain a safe distance from pedestrians and cyclists, waiting until it's safe to pass.
- Be vigilant for animals crossing or present near the roadway.
Right of Way at Stop Signs
- When two vehicles approach a stop sign from different directions, neither has the right of way until it is safe to proceed.
Traffic Regulations on Right of Way
- Traffic regulations specify that drivers must yield the right of way when applicable.
Avoiding Head-On Collisions
- To prevent head-on collisions, utilize the "4 R's" approach, which emphasizes key avoidance strategies.
Delayed Acceleration Technique
- To avoid collisions and violations at traffic light-controlled intersections, apply the Delayed Acceleration Technique to ensure the intersection is clear before proceeding.
Misconceptions about Right of Way
- It is a common misconception that laws clearly dictate which driver has the right of way in all situations; this is not true.
Collision Statistics
- Statistically, the highest chances of a collision occur at intersections due to increased complexity and vehicle interactions.
Roundabouts and Collision Reduction
- Circular-shaped roundabouts are designed to reduce the likelihood of head-on collisions by facilitating smoother traffic flow and minimizing direct conflicts between vehicles.
