Presentation transcript:

* You are driving on a highway where the maximum speed limit is 55 mph. You see warning signs indicating a curve ahead and a square yellow sign indicating a maximum speed limit of 35 mph. Model your thinking process as you proceed in this situation.

* Slow down to the 35 mph limit. * Pay attention to how well you can control your vehicle on the curve at this speed * Truck/SUV vs. small car * Reduce your speed even more if your control of visibility, time, and space requires it.

* What is the sequence of speed control? * A motorist should start slowly, gradually increase speed within the legal speed limit and flow of traffic. * The most important requirements of safe driving are visibility, time, and space.

* Business/Residential/School25 mph * Suburban Business/Residential35 mph * All other roadways50 mph * Certain state highways55 mph * Certain highways (as posted)65 mph * If you are stopped by an officer for speeding in a 65 mph speed limit zones, your fines will be DOUBLED!!

* Fixed Speed Limit * Maximum and minimum speed that a vehicle may be driven on a roadway. * Slow drivers can be pulled over and also make other drivers nervous or angry. * Cause traffic tie-ups and congestion. * Advisory Speed Limit * All roads are not straight. * Interrupts normal driving speed for a limited time due to road conditions.

* One Car Length Rule * One car length should be left between you and the vehicle in front of you for each 10 mph of speed * Example: 50 mph = 5 car lengths * Three Seconds Rule * Pick a fixed object on the roadway; 3 seconds should pass from the time the car in front of you passes that object to the time that your car passes the object. Why 3 seconds??

* The less time the driver has to spot dangerous situations and take action. * The greater the time and distance it takes to stop a vehicle. * The greater the chance the vehicle will skid. * The greater the force of impact will be in a collision. * The greater the personal injuries and property damage will be in a collision.
