What type of wehicles has a more extensive blind spot

Large vehicles such as trucks

law of inertia

Objects that are moving tend to continue moving and objects that are not moving tend to remain at rest, unless acted upon by some other force

in not being able to react to hazards in front of your vehicle in a timely manner, tailgating, failing to steer in the proper direction when necessary to avoid low-contrast road features such as the edges of the roadway and other irregularities in the road surface. May be a result of

Poor night vision

What are the five abilities required for being a afe driver

A flashing red light at an intersection means:

Stop before entering

When you are hit from behind while stopped, your head tends to stay in place due to inertia while the rest of your body is pushedforward by the seat.

This causes whiplash

This is called "staggering.

To help freeway traffic flow, some on-ramps and freeway interchanges are regulated by lane controls which only allow a certain number of cars to enter the freeway at varying time intervals.

3. Which is not a consequence of using a false name or knowingly making false statements on your license application?

Driving in California is ________?

a priveledge granted by the state

Two sets of solid double yellow lines that are two or more feet apart represent

a wall or center divider. You may not drive on or over these lines for any reason. You may only make a U turn or left turn on a street divided with these lines at an opening provided for turns.

In order to keep a vehicle in a turn without allowing centrifugal force to pull the car out, what should you not do?

accelerate while turning

a stop sign means you

always stop fully behind the limit line, crosswalk, or at the corner.

What should you do if you find yourself in a situation with an agressive driver.

avoid eye contact

missing curves in the road, striking unobserved pedestrians, and crashing into the rear of a slow-moving, stalled, or stopped vehicle.

can be a result of poor glare resistance

you may only drive in this lane for a distance up to 200 feet, which is about the length of five or six vehicles.

center left turn lane

If there are two yellow lines dividing lanes of traffic, and the line closest to your lane is broken, you may

cross over it to pass vehicles ahead, if it is safe to do so. If the line closest to your lane is solid, you may not cross over it except to turn left into a driveway or alley.

Gravity____ your kinetic energy when you are driving downhill and ____ it when you re driving uphill

decreases increases Therefore, the force of gravity will make it (a) easier to stop your car if you are going uphill, and (b) more difficult to stop your car if you are going downhil

what natural forces are acting on your vehicle

gravity, inertia, momentum, kinetic and potential energy, friction, and centrifugal force

A flashing red signal light

has the same meaning as a stop sign.

Where do most accidents occur?

intersections

Kinetic energy

is the energy a body possesses because it is in motion

Just in case your parking brake fails, you should always turn the front wheels of your vehicle so that

it will not roll into the traffic lane

Inertia causes your body and loose objects in your car to

keep moving forward when your vehicle stops suddenly.

ou may cross over a double solid yellow line to

make a left turn at an intersection, to enter or exit a road or a driveway, or to make a U-turn, if it can be made safely and is not otherwise prohibited.

how many drivers who start driving before they are 20 are convicted of a traffic violation within the first year of driving.

nearly half

Are you allowed to wear a headset or earplugs that cover both ears while driving

no

If there are two solid yellow lines dividing lanes of traffic, you may

not cross over them to pass another vehicle. You should never drive to the left of these lines.

You can avoid situations leading to road rage by:

not cutting off other drivers. not driving slowly in the left (fast) lane. not tailgating.

If there is a single solid yellow line dividing lanes of traffic, you may

not drive over this line to pass other vehicles You may cross over a solid yellow line to make a left turn at an intersection, to enter or exit a road or a driveway, or to make a U-turn, if it can be made safely and is not otherwise prohibited.

Young drivers are more likely to show alcohol impairment at relatively low BAC (blood alcohol concentration) levels than

older drivers

If there is a single yellow line dividing lanes of traffic, and the line is broken (not continuous), you may

pass over this to pass other vehicles, and to make left turns into other streets, driveways, and alleys if it can be done safely.

stopping too short of limit lines or inside intersections, turning too wide or too short, being unable to maintain a constant speed, or being unable to follow other vehicles at a distance appropriate for driving conditions. can be a result of

poor depth perception

When you leave a vehicle parked on an incline, gravity works to

pull your vehicle downhill.

Most evidence suggests that the number one factor in young drivers' over-involvement in accidents

risk-taking

In some cases, one or more sets of parallel solid yellow lines are also used to

separate carpool lanes from normal traffic lanes. Do not cross over these lines to enter or exit the carpool lane. Wait until the lines are broken or for some other designated place to enter or exit the lane. (Carpool lanes are discussed in more detail under white line markings.)

What kind of vehicles are easily hidden in your blind spot

small ones like motorcylces

center left turn lane is often called

suicide lane

If you are parking facing downhill, you should always turn your front wheels towards

the curb or side of the road.

Potential energy is

the energy that an object possesses because of its position or form

The force of a moving object is called momentum. The momentum of an object is proportional to its weight and speed. The more momentum it has, the more force it has. So if there were two cars, both the same model, and one of the cars was traveling 30 mph faster than the other, which car has more force?

the faster car

Gravity

the force that pulls all objects towards the center of the earth. Gravity also affects your speed of travel when going uphill and downhill.

On divided highways and some other roadways, a single solid yellow line will usually be used to indicate

the leftmost boundary of the drivable roadway

If you are parking facing uphill and there is a curb, you should turn your front wheels towards

the middle of the road and allow the vehicle to roll back against the curb.

Traction

the result of friction between the road and your tires caused by the weight of the car pushing the tires to the road due to gravity. Traction is necessary for you to steer your car.

When you drive downhill

the reverse is true. Gravity will cause you to go faster and increase your stopping distance. You may need to shift to a lower gear or smoothly apply your breaks to slow to a safe speed and control your vehicle.

If you are parking facing uphill and this is not a curb, you should turn your wheels toward

the side of the road.

A center traffic lane enclosed by double yellow lines on each side with the inner lines broken may be used

to start and complete left hand turns and start U-turns from either direction of traffic, but cannot be used for passing. The rules for proper use of center left turn lanes is frequently misunderstood by drivers.

How do you check for vehicles in your blind spot

when changing lanes you need to check for vehicles in your blind spot by turning your head and looking into the laneyou want to enter.

The way you should turn your wheels depends on

you may make a protected turn
