Drivers Ed Chapter 4

The driving task is primarily a:

• physical task

• thinking task

• social task

• routine task

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

• assume others will make mistakes

• assume others will not make mistakes

• assume others have predicted your actions

• assume others will adjust your actions

To compromise space means to:

• speed up

• maximize hazards

• minimize hazards

• narrow the space between vehicles

Scanning means to:

• stare at your path of travel

• look far and wide in an unorganized fashion

• glance quickly and continually

• put your trip on the internet

Commentary driving is:

• yelling at the vehicle next to you at a light

• recording a memo while driving

• talking to your passengers

• thinking out loud

If you lock the brakes when braking suddenly you:

• lose steering ability

• gain speed slightly

• avoid losing traction

• gain steering ability

As you drive on a residential street, you spot the following clues: a parked vehicle with front wheels turned toward the street and a person sitting behind the wheel. You should:

• predict that the vehicle may enter your path

• predict that the parked vehicle will remain parked

• decide to ignore the parked vehicle

• none of the above

When you identify that a roadway is narrowing from a multilane to a single lane, you should:

• stop as close as possible to the warning sign before changing lanes

• move into the through lane as soon as possible

• identify what is causing the roadway to narrow

• control the actions of the other roadway users

When you must handle several hazards at the same time, the best tactic is to:

• compromise the hazards

• adjust the speed to separate the hazards

• minimize, then compromise the hazards

• minimize, then seperate the hazards

You compromise space when you:

• cannot seperate or minimize hazards

• give as much space as possible to the lesser hazard

• can seperate and minimize hazards

• give another driver your parking space
