Drivers ed

How many searching ranges need to be evaluated in your path of travel?

three

The purposes of traffic signs are

to regulate, to warn, to guide

When performing a back turn, you should target to the rear by looking

Over your left shoulder to back to the left and your right shoulder to back to the right

To track accurately when backing straight, you should look to the rear

Over your right shoulder at a rear target

Yielding in traffic means

Slow or stop to allow others to go before you

Why is it good practice to have your headlights on during the day?

You can always be seen

To FIND information early, search from one target area to the next using your

central vision

Risk factors are contributed by

- drivers and pedestrians -vehicles - roadway environment

The photograph on the right indicates what?

- the forward position to begin a stopped right turn - the safety stop position - the front bumper is aligned with the edge of the roadway

The law requires drivers to signal 100 feet before any turn or lane change. Why is it best practice to use your turn signal 5 seconds ahead?

-100 feet before doesn't apply when entering traffic from a stopped position alongside a curb - signaling 5 seconds ahead gives others the time and space they need to respond to your intended actions rather than forcing them to react - at highway speeds 100 feet ahead doesn't give the drivers enough time to see and respond to the signal

Charging any closed zone

-increases your closure rate and closes your space to the front very quickly - compromises vehicle balance because braking actions are late and hard - forces cars in the rear to brake hard and late and increases your chance of being rear- ended

What is the best speed control option to use when approaching a stale green traffic light
