IPDE - Theory Review

The four steps in the IPDE Process are

• identify, predict, discover, execute.

• identify, predict, delay, estimate.

• identify,

  prepare, defend, estimate.

• identify, predict, decide, execute.

To aim high in steering means

• you look ahead 12-15 seconds into your target area as you drive.

• your headlights are aimed up so other drivers can see you.

• you check the area in the immediate vicinity so you do not hit a deer.

• you keep your eyes moving constantly.

A target area range is the

• first searching range.

• range of space you will travel in 12-15 seconds.

• area you need to identify changes in your line of sight.

• distance ahead of your vehicle where you evaluate your path of travel.

The best place to adjust speed to steer through a curve is

• before entering the curve.

• at the center of the curve.

• about halfway through the curve.

• just before you leave the curve.

The distance a vehicle travels from the time the driver applies the brakes until the vehicle stops is

• perception distance.

• total stopping distance.

• reaction distance.

• braking distance.

A beginning driver may tend to oversteer. This means the driver

• turns the steering wheel too much.

• does not turn the steering wheel enough.

• is turning too fast.

• tends to steer over too many bumps.

You are preparing to enter traffic at an intersection. You must judge the

• deceleration ability of your vehicle.

• type of roadway markings ahead.

• acceleration ability of oncoming vehicles.

• size of the gap between vehicles.

If a light is green when you first see it, predict it

• has a left turn arrow.

• will change soon.

• has an electrical problem.

• has just been illuminated.

If you are driving under adverse conditions or if you need more time to complete the IPDE process, your following distance should be

• two seconds.

• equal to your stopping distance.

• the same as that of other traffic.

• 3 seconds or more.
