Driving Behavior
- If you drive off the road onto the shoulder, remain calm, grip the wheel, slow down, and check for clear traffic before returning to the highway.
- Proper parallel parking involves signaling right, stopping past the space, and aligning the vehicle close to the curb.
Learner’s Permit
- A beginner's permit is valid for a maximum of 12 months.
Stopping Distance Factors
- Stopping distance is influenced by reaction time, weather conditions, vehicle weight, and the braking system's condition.
Parking Regulations
- Do not park on a sidewalk, as this obstructs pedestrian access.
Safety Belt Importance
- Safety belts are mandated by federal law, are required in most states, and significantly reduce the risk of injury or death in accidents.
School Bus Regulations
- When approaching a stopped school bus with red lights flashing, passing is permitted as you are not required to stop.
Left Turn Protocol
- When making a left turn, signal 100 feet before the intersection and use the leftmost lane, while also entering the intersection from the lane nearest to the center line.
Emergency Vehicle Response
- Always yield and give a clear path to emergency vehicles with flashing lights.
Speeding Implications
- High speed increases the likelihood of fatal accidents and necessitates greater following distance.
Missing Exits
- If you miss an interstate exit, do not backtrack. Continue to the next exit and then find a way to return.
Speeding Myths
