Chapter 6 Review

Basic tools for low-risk driving might be

• good tires and a horn.
• fear of driving in inclement weather.
• good seeing habits and an ability to manage space.
• age and experience.

How can you prepare yourself to deal with the worst possible actions of other HTS users?

• Assume others have predicted your actions
• Assume others will not make mistakes.
• Assume others will adjust to your actions.
• Assume others will make mistakes.

When you use the predict step in the IPDE Process, you

• ignore the actions of other HTS users.
• interpret meaningless clues in the driving environment.
• judge where possible points of conflict may occur.
• forget about what might happen on the roadway ahead

An intersection is a

• place to change lanes
• low-risk area needing little attention.
• place to visit with a neighboring vehicle.
• high-risk area where the management of your path of travel needs constant attention.

When braking in an emergency stop, you should

• use the parking brake.
• press the brake pedal as hard as you can.
• avoid locking the brakes.
• lightly tap the brakes to warn the driver who is following you.

You should practice your orderly visual search pattern

• in the backyard.
• by selecting clues and events restricting your line of sight
• once a year
• as a passenger in a vehicle.

What is happening in your zones, what could happen, and if it does happen, how the change could affect you are involved in

• identifying in the IPDE Process.
• searching in the IPDE Process
• judging in the IPDE Process.
• predicting in the IPDE Process

When you accelerate and steer at the same time, you are

• executing a combination of actions
• oversteering.
• predicting that the driver behind you will speed up.
• communicating with other drivers.

Searching for visual clues changes according to the driving environment.  While driving on open highways,

• occasionally look far ahead.
• always look at the space closer than two seconds in front of your vehicle.
• never look into rearview mirrors because distractions will confuse your search.
• search areas farther ahead than you do when driving in the city environment.

Searching for specific driving-related clues

• is less important as you gain more driving experience
• involves an unchanging process
• may cause you to be distracted.
• is different in different environments.
