This training module is not intended or recommended for learners who have not yet completed basic "Other Driver" training.
Please do not take this review training until you have earned certificates of completion for Modules 1, 2 and 3.

4. The Other Driver Review
Good, then you're ready for this review module.
This module provides a succinct review of the skills used to avoid collisions caused by other drivers.
But the emphasis in this program is on testing what you know based on all of the Other Driver training you've completed.

5. The Other Driver Pre-Test
This 5-question quiz will help you determine which areas of the Other Driver Review you need to pay special attention to.

6. Pre-Test 1
Your previous Other Driver training covered "The 4 Fundamentals" to avoiding Other Driver collisions. Which of the following is NOT one of The 4 Fundamentals:
Check Your Path
Watch Your Back
Scan 360
Protect Your Space
Plan Your Route a b c d e
exit

7. Sorry, but this IS one of the Other Driver fundamentals.
By the way, the Other Driver Review is not arranged according to The 4 Fundamentals. But it does cover all the basic skills you've learned in your previous Other Driver training.

8. Correct, “Plan Your Route” is NOT an Other Driver fundamental.
This module is not arranged according to The 4 Fundamentals. If you skipped one of the previous training modules on the fundamentals, now is the time to go back and complete it before continuing this review.

9. Pre-Test 2 How often should you scan your mirrors?
Every 5 to 10 seconds
Every half mile
Every 4 to 8 seconds
Every 15 seconds a b c d

10. Correct.
You'll have a chance to review other Scan 360 skills, if you feel you need to, before you take the Final Exam.

11. Sorry, that’s incorrect.
You should pay special attention to the Scan 360 portion of the Other Driver Review.

12. Pre-Test 3
You're driving along at 40 mph when another car pulls directly into your path and stops. You need to act quickly to avoid an accident. Which of the following will NOT be useful at this point?
Escape Route
Ready Brake
ABS Brakes
100% Braking a b c d

13. Correct.
You'll have a chance to review other Braking Skills, if you feel you need to, before you take the Final Exam.

14. Sorry, that’s incorrect.
You should pay special attention to the Braking Skills portion of the Other Driver Review.

15. Pre-Test 4
You're coaching a teenage driver. She has a tendency to tailgate other cars. How can you help her break this dangerous habit?
Teach her how to use Ready Brake
Teach her how to use 30% Braking
Teach her The 2 Second Rule
Stomp the imaginary brake on your side of the car whenever she tailgates someone a b c d

16. Correct.
You'll have a chance to review other Following Distance skills, if you feel you need to, before you take the Final Exam.

17. Sorry, that’s incorrect.
You should pay special attention to the Following Distance portion of the Other Driver Review.

18. Pre-Test 5
Which of the following skills can help you avoid being hit from behind by another vehicle?
30% Braking and Scan 360
30% Braking, Scan 360 and a safe following distance
Safe following distance, Scan 360 and tapping your brakes to warn off tailgaters
Scan 360 and tapping your brakes to warn off tailgaters a b c d

19. Correct.
Looks like you have a good handle on avoiding our most common collision (being hit from behind by another driver).

20. Sorry, that’s incorrect
Sorry, that’s incorrect. Tapping your brakes to "warn off" a tailgater can make a bad situation worse. The other 3 answers to this question were all correct.
You should probably take your time going through the Other Driver Review, as "hit from behind" is our most common collision.

21. Additional Information
Wherever you see underlined text in this module, you can click on the text for more information.
If you feel confident about your knowledge of the underlined topic you can skip it, but you will need to know the topic thoroughly when you get to the Final Exam.

22. The Other Driver Review
You're ready to begin a quick review of your past "Other Driver" training.

23. Scan 360
Good scanning skills help you spot potential hazards early, giving you more time to react to them safely.
One or two extra seconds can make the difference between having or avoiding an accident.

24. Scan 360
As you drive, continuously scan a full circle (360) around your vehicle to:
Check for potential hazards
Monitor of the movements of others around you
Stay aware of your escape routes

25. Scan 360 To scan effectively, you need to:
Scan 15 seconds ahead, and scan your mirrors every 4 to 8 seconds.
Scan your mirrors every 4 to 8 seconds.
Keep scanning even when you're stopped in traffic.

26. 15 Seconds Scanning 15 seconds ahead works out to about:
1 block in city traffic
1/2 mile on the highway
Need a refresher on how
to adjust your mirrors?

27. How to Adjust Your Mirrors
Driver’s Side Mirror
Place the left side of your face against the driver side window and adjust the mirror so that you can barely see the left side of your car.
Passenger’s Side Mirror
Lean as close to the center of the front seats as possible and adjust the mirror so you can barely see the right side of your car.

28. Escape Routes
An "escape route" is an open lane of traffic that you can safely move into to avoid a collision.
In an emergency, your escape route may even be an otherwise "off limits" lane of traffic, such as the shoulder of the road.

29. Following Distance
Basically, a "safe" following distance is one that gives you enough space (and time) to avoid rear-ending the car ahead of you if it stops suddenly.
It can also protect you from being hit from behind by another driver.

30. Hit From Behind
Currently, our most common collision involves a Johnson & Johnson driver being hit from behind.
When you maintain a safe following distance, you're giving yourself and the driver behind you more time to react and stop safely in an emergency.

31. “One one-thousand, two one- thousand…”
Following Distance
The 2 Second Rule is used as a basis for determining safe following distances.
As the car ahead of you passes a landmark, such as a telephone pole, start counting.
“One one-thousand, two one- thousand…”
If your car passes the same landmark before you count off two full seconds, slow down until you’ve increased your following distance.

32. Following Distance The 2 Second Rule is simply a starting point.
Two seconds is a safe
following distance when
driving conditions are ideal…

33. Following Distance
Increase your following distance to at least 4 to 8 seconds:
in bad weather,
poor traffic or
road conditions
or when you are being tailgated
at night

34. Tailgaters
If your tailgater hangs on after you've increased your following distance.
move to another lane if it's safe to do so
if necessary, get off at the next exit or (in city traffic) turn onto a side street at the next intersection
Never tap your brakes to "warn off" the tailgater. You will only make the situation more dangerous for both of you.

35. Braking Skills
When you slam on the brakes to avoid hitting something in your path, that's 100% Braking (100% of your maximum braking power).

36. Braking Skills
For all normal braking situations, such as approaching a stop sign, you should only have to use about 30% of maximum braking power to bring your car to a
smooth, controlled stop.
Need a little more refresher
about 30% Braking?

37. How to Use 30% Braking
Start braking early — as soon as you realize you're going to need to come to a stop.
for example, start braking as soon as you see you're coming up to a yellow light
Start early and you'll only
need to use about 30% of
maximum breaking power
to stop.

38. How to Use 30% Braking
Remember: 30% Braking is for normal braking situations where you know in advance that you're going to have to stop:
red lights
stop signs
yellow or stale
green lights
approaching school
bus with its stop
arm extended

39. Braking Skills
Ready Brake is used when you see a potential hazard ahead. You may not need to brake at all unless the hazard materializes, but you want to be prepared to brake fully on a
moment's notice.
Need a refresher
on Ready Brake?

40. Ready Brake
As soon as you recognize a potential hazard ahead, depress the pedal just enough to take the slack out of the system.
Done properly, your brakes will not actually engage, but
your brake lights come on to warn drivers behind you
you are prepared to brake 100% if you need to

41. Ready Brake Examples of Ready Brake situations
You see a group of children playing by the side of the road ahead.
You see a car backing into the roadway ahead and you aren't sure the driver sees you coming.
You're about to drive over the crest of a steep hill.

42. Cushion of Safety
When you are stopped behind another vehicle, be sure you can clearly see where its rear tires touch the pavement.
This ensures you have
room to maneuver
around the other vehicle
and get into your escape
route if you need to.

43. Intersections
Up to 30% of all traffic accidents occur at intersections within 2 seconds after a light turns green.

44. Intersections
If you're first in line when a traffic light turns green:
Count off 2 to 3 seconds before you move your foot to the accelerator.
Spend those seconds looking
left-right-left for red-light
runners.

45. Signal Your Intentions
Your turn signals let other drivers know what you're doing, which makes the road just a little safer for them and for you.
Use your signals:
before you start a turn
before beginning any lane change
before pulling away from a curb

46. Signal Your Intentions
Signal your intention to turn before you reach your turning point.
Signal at least 3 seconds in advance in
city traffic.
Signal at least 5 seconds
in advance on the highway.

47. Turning Point For example:
If you're going turn at a city intersection, begin signaling your turn about 3 seconds before you reach the intersection (even if the light is red and you'll be waiting in line).
If you're turning off the highway, start signaling about 5 seconds before you reach your exit.

48. Signal Your Intentions
And remember, you have turn signals on the front of your car for a reason.
Even if no one is
behind you, your
signals let drivers in
front of you and
beside you know
what you're doing.
