Ensuring that your intentions are evident to other drivers by always using a turn or hand signal is known as__________

General ways to reduce the risk of some action include:

Adjusting speed Adjusting position in lane Communicating with others

Currently obstructed(closed) and in the process of clearing(open) Currently clear(open) and in the process of becoming obstructed(Closed)

After activating the turn signal in parallel parking, the motorist should:

Position the vehicle so that it is even with the vehicle to the front of the selected parking space

When implementing a turnabout, the motorist should first check for traffic that would:

Prohibit the motorist from completing the maneuver

_______________drivers will find that they can judge risk better than_________drivers because experiences become the building blocks for knowledge as to potential outcomes to driving situations.

Experienced, novice

Risk taking involves following appropriate procedures when driving while processing information correctly.

False

The first space zone is directly above the vehicle

False

When controlling vehicle direction at an intersection while making a turn, a motorist should steer as far away from the right curb as possible while focusing on the line of sight

False

When parking on a hill with a cur, a motorist should park within 10-12 inches of the curb and turn the front wheels toward the curb

False

Increasing following distance to_________when encountering other motorists who follow too closely is an example of appropriate implementation of the IPDE defensive driving strategy for the maintenance of an appropriate Safety Cushion

Four-seconds

A motorist should position the vehicle__________of the lane (lane position 1) after completing the lane change

In the center

When perpendicular parking, the motorist should________line of sight throughout the process and move slowly into the parking space

Maintain

A space zone can be:

Open Closed Changing

The presence of four vehicles and a pedestrian approaching an intersection at the same time might represent a situation to________the risk (and move forward to an alternative maneuver at a different intersection) of completing the maneuver

True

An example of a space management technique is:

Two-second rule

Which of the following is a defensive driving technique used to manage space zones?

Two-seconds of following distance rule Frequently checking blind spots Frequently adjusting speed and lane position to maintain open space zones

The___________angles focus on the motorist's surroundings to the rear with the ultimate objective of limiting the size of blind spots
