2. Processing Information 1.A driver needs visibility, space, and time to safely operate a vehicle. 2.A vehicle needs time, space, and traction to safely perform driving maneuvers.

3. 3. Good searching techniques requires the ability to know where, when, and how to search, and what to search for.

4. 1. Peripheral Vision 2. Focus Vision 3. Centralized Vision 4. 1.Motion and Color Changes 2.Targeting (Reading Signs) 3.Viewing Path of Travel

5. Explain this statement: “The eyes don’t tell the brain what they see - the brain tells the eyes what to look for” as it relates to the search process. 5. Explain this statement: “The eyes don’t tell the brain what they see - the brain tells the eyes what to look for” as it relates to the search process. The brain is what makes you alert to signs, traffic, and other observations and simply sends the message to your eyes.

6. 6. 2 Seconds This following interval is inadequate. It will only allow a driver to steer to avoid a collision. 4 Seconds This is the recommended minimum following interval. This allows time to brake or change position. 12-15 Seconds Needed to identify an alternate path of travel. 20-30 Seconds Needed to identify objects that would require an alternate path of travel. 4-8 Seconds Needed to search the immediate path of travel. This time the interval should provide time to stop on dry roadways. Time Interval Explanation

9. A Short Road Trip Student: I’m searching my intended path of travel 15 seconds ahead. I see a red light. It has been red for a while maybe if I slow down it will be green when we get there.

10. A Short Road Trip I think I will move to LP 3 to give myself more space. LP 3

11. A Short Road Trip I just checked my rearview mirror and noticed there is a truck behind me. I need to increase the space between us so I don’t have to brake so suddenly.

12. A Short Road Trip The vehicle in front of me has his emergency flashers on and is moving slowly. Let me check left and right to see if I can safely change positions.

13. A Short Road Trip The left mirror is clear and I still need to make a quick turn before changing lanes. All clear. Now I will signal, recheck traffic and move safely to the other lane.

14. A Short Road Trip I will need to get back into the right lane. I am checking my rearview mirror and see no cars so I know it is safe to return to the right lane. Since we will be making a right turn, I need to go to LP 3. The light is red.

15. A Short Road Trip There is a vehicle in front of us. I will stop far enough back to be able to see the line of sight. This will help with my visibility and make sure I have an alternate path if there is a hazard I need to avoid. The vehicle ahead is making a right turn on red, Now it’s my turn. I have to remember to look out for pedestrians first and check rear areas. OK, its safe to go. Opps! I almost forgot to check the traffic lights for oncoming traffic with a green arrow making a left turn. Now it’s OK to go. I remember from last lesson that I must turn into the left lane.

16. A Short Road Trip There are two lanes going in my direction. I will need to make a lane change. My best position is for a left turn is LP 2. LP 2

17. A Short Road Trip Student: “It’s called a staggered stop. Its gives more space and 15 additional feet to vehicles entering the roadway from the right.” Instructor: “We will pull into the curb ahead. Don’t forget to signal and check your mirrors before you move. It’s time to change drivers. What are the steps to properly secure the vehicle?”

18. A Short Road Trip Student: “I must fully stop in a legal parking space, place the gear in (P)ark, turn off the engine, and close/lock doors.”

19. Intersections 1. Before entering an intersection: Check left and right for traffic and pedestrians. Check ahead for oncoming traffic; and count to 3 to allow other vehicles to the clear the intersection.

20. 2. Crossing a two-lane roadway from a stop takes about 6 seconds. 3. You will need a gap of at least 45 feet to cross the intersection safely. 4. You will need a gap of at least 75 feet to cross the intersection safely. 5. When waiting to make a left turn, the front wheels should be pointed straight ahead.

21. 6. You will need a gap of approximately 555 feet to safely make the turn. 7. The gap you need will increase to 990 feet. 8. The lane indicates a shared left turn lane. 9. A shared left turn lane can help you turn safely because it provides more space for other vehicles which can avoid crashes.

25. Curves and Hills 1. 2. 3. It is restricted up and down hill. Search for best path of travel. No escape routes. Lane Position 3.

26. 4. 5. You should slow down when exiting the curve. 6. You should start accelerating when you enter the curve. 7. To avoid crashing into one another.

27. Passing 1. a. 120 Feet b. 135 Feet c. 255 Feet 2. a. 15 fps 3. a. Additional distance traveled by A to pass B A(1.c) 225 feet divided by diference in distance traveled per second by each vehicle(2.a) 15 feet. (1.c/2.a) = 15 seconds. 4. a. 900

28. 5. 900 feet - This would be approximately 2.5 football fields. 6. a.120 feet b. 280 feet c.180 feet d.15 fps e. 12 seconds f. 720 feet g. 720 feet - this is approximately 2 football fields.

29. 7. 1.Solid yellow lines 2.No passing zones 3.When a school bus has stopped to drop off children. 4.Hills, curves, at Intersections or railroad crossings. 5.When a solid white line marks the left side of the lane. Passing Not Permitted

30. 8. It is safer and most of the time the approaching vehicle switch headlights and become visible at distances up to 4500 feet away. 9. Check left and right mirrors, check rearview mirrors, check for pedestrians, and oncoming traffic.
