Worksheet time: 8mins
Why is city driving more difficult than driving in other environments?
There are more vehicles per mile in the city
More people ignore traffic laws in cities than in other locations
There are more hazards, and you have to deal with them more frequently
Both A and C are correct
How should you use the predict step of the IPDE Process while driving on city streets?
Be prepared to predict possible points of conflict earlier
Take more time to make accurate predictions
Act the same as you would on a rural roadway
Divide your attention between several tasks
An advantage of keeping a 3 second following distance in the city traffic is that you
can see only the vehicle ahead
have a cushion from the vehicle ahead
have less time to react to hazards
can react quickly to hazards
What is space cushion?
the distance you can see in your lane
your vehicle's stopping distance
the air bag in the steering wheel
the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead
When measuring a following distance under normal conditions , the 3 - second technique
should be decreased in adverse conditions
is safe for most conditions
is insufficient at a speed over 40 mph
is the same as the total stopping distance
A 3 - second following distance
is equal to the stopping distance
is effective only at slower speeds
is not related to the time needed to perform the IPDE Process
is not the total stopping distance
When following another vehicle, you should look
at your rearview mirrors exclusively
through, over, and around that vehicle
at the rear of the vehicle ahead
at the vehicle's brake lights
The first step in following and meeting traffic is
managing the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead
establishing a fixed reference point
identifying which car you are going to follow
predicting if a car will enter your path
A driver that follows too closely is called a
a school bus
tailgater
cargater
tailodile
What is your following distance when you have identified a tailgater
three seconds
four seconds
two seconds
Does not matter, just get out the way.
If the vehicle following you is too close, what action can you take to avoid being hit from the rear?
Flash your headlights quickly
Press the brake lightly
Increase your following distance
Signal the driver to pass you
Sudden moves by children, pedestrians, animals, or a vehicle door opening might
never be important to your safety
increase that vehicle's stopping distance
cause a driver to cross into your path of travel
make an oncoming driver move away from your lane
If an oncoming driver crosses into your path of travel, the space that is usually available for you to move your vehicle is
directly in front of you
to the right of your vehicle
to the rear of your vehicle
to the left of your vehicle
A high risk area for sudden stop from another driver might be
a school bus
the lanes next to parked vehicles
an intersection with a traffic light
a rural highway
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
