Turning/Lane Changes

Transcription

1 Mdule 4 Tpic 3 1. On the diagram belw: Turning/Lane Changes Draw the crrect path f travel fr a right turn fr this Draw an arrw indicating the line f sight thrugh the turn. Draw an X n anything that may bstruct the line f sight. X. Hw far in advance shuld yu prepare fr a right turn? feet befre the turn 3. Name tw ways yu can cmmunicate yur intentin t turn. Turn signal and psitin help cmmunicate yur intentin t turn. Tapping the brake pedal will cmmunicate yur intentin t dwn befre the turn. 4. When d yu slw dwn fr the turn? Yu need t reduce yur speed befre yur turn. 5. When d yu begin t accelerate when making a right turn? Yu begin accelerating at the apex f the turn when yur line f sight is 0 secnds ahead in yur path f travel. 6. What visual reference will help yu determine when t begin the turn? Begin the turn when the side view mirrr appears t be even with the curb. 7. What type f steering shuld yu use t make this right turn? Hand-t-hand steering Yu are driving the dark vehicle in the diagram belw in a 35 mph speed zne. 8. What areas must yu check befre beginning a lane change? rear, left rear, left frnt 9. Name tw pssible reasns fr making the lane change. slw mving vehicle r an bstructin is blcking yur path, yur lane ends, yur destinatin requires a turn frm a different lane, r cnstructin in yur lane 10. Hw can yu cmmunicate the lane change? By using a turn signal 5 VADETS

2 Mdule 4 Tpics 4 & 5 Turnabuts/Parking 1. Diagram a -pint turn (backing int a driveway). = reverse 1 = drive = line f sight. Indicate yur line f sight n the diagram abve. 3. What is yur visual reference pint fr backing int the driveway? The driver shuld begin steering int the driveway when the line f sight frm the driver t the edge f the driveway runs thrugh the center f the back passenger windw. 4. What is the safest way t change directin in the city? The safest way t change directin in the city is t g arund the blck. 5. Diagram a 3-pint turn It is safer t back int traffic r X_ back ut f traffic. 7. Diagram hw t angle park. Yu shuld apprach the angle parking space apprximately _-3_ feet away. Yur target while angle parking is the center f the parking space. Yur visual reference pint fr beginning t steer is when the side mirrr appears t align with the first line f the space. Yu shuld use hand-t-hand steering fr this maneuver. 6 VADETS

3 8. Diagram the prper path f travel fr perpendicular parking. Yu shuld apprach the perpendicular parking space apprximately _5-7_ feet away. When perpendicular parking, yur target shuld be _the center f the parking space. Yur reference pint fr beginning t steer is when the side view mirrr appears t align with the first line f the parking space. Yu shuld use _hand-t-hand steering fr this maneuver. 9. Diagram the prper path f travel fr parallel parking. A parallel parking space shuld be at least 5 feet lnger than yur The starting psitin fr parallel parking is abut 3 feet next t the vehicle parked in frnt f the space. The reference pint fr beginning a parallel parking maneuver is t stp when yur back bumper is even with the back bumper f the vehicle parked in frnt f the space. The reference pint fr determining when t change steering directin frm right t left while parallel parking n the right is when the driver can see the right headlight f the vehicle parked behind in the side view mirrr. 10. Diagram which way the wheels shuld be turned when parking. Uphill with a curb Uphill withut a curb Dwnhill with a curb 7 VADETS

4 Mdule 5 Tpic 1 Prcessing Infrmatin 1. A driver needs time, space and visibility t safely perate a. A vehicle needs time, space and tractin t safely perfrm driving maneuvers. 3. Gd searching technique requires the ability t knw _hw_, when, where t search, and what t search fr. 4. Name each f the three visin areas and tell what each is used fr peripheral used t detect mtin and clr changes. fcal used t identify distinct bjects 3. central used t judge distance and determine psitin_ 5. Explain the statement: The eyes dn t tell the brain what they see the brain tells the eyes what t lk fr as it relates t the search prcess. Searching is the prcess f lking fr ptential hazards while driving. The brain must be prgrammed t lk fr specific infrmatin. If the brain is nt prgrammed t search effectively, the eyes simply scan the area and respnd t the mst clrful and/r mving bjects. 6. Fill in the crrect time interval fr each f the fllwing: Time interval sec. Explanatin This fllwing interval is usually inadequate. It will nly allw a driver t steer t avid a cllisin. This is the recmmended minimum fllwing interval. This 4 sec. allws time t brake r change psitin. 8-1 sec. Needed t identify an alternate path f travel this far ahead f the 1-15 sec. Needed t identify bjects that require an alternate path f travel. 4-8 sec. Needed t search the immediate path f travel. This time interval shuld prvide time t stp n dry radways. Needed t search \ ahead f the vehicle t evaluate the intended 0-30 sec. path f travel. This shuld als be yur target area. 8 VADETS

Highway cnditins Traffic Cntrls Mtr Vehicles Nn-Mtrized Users Radway tractin Unmarked Camper Bicycles intersectins Shulders Signs SUV Animals Affixed bjects Curves Signals Mtrcycles Pedestrians Slpes Wind Radway markings Trucks Skatebarders Glare A Shrt Rad Trip It lks like I will be driving in mderate traffic tday. My last lessn wasn t t bad. There was nt much traffic and I was able t cncentrate n targeting and turning. Tday, I think we will be wrking n space management and lane psitin. My instructr says he likes cmmentary driving t make sure I see all f the ptential driving risks. Instructr: During the last lessn, yu were able t cncentrate n centering and turning the Tday we will begin wrking n yur ability t establish and maintain adequate space arund yur Student: I ve never driven in a lt f traffic befre. I m a little nervus. I remember mst f what we talked abut in the classrm. Instructr: Dn t wrry, just keep plenty f space between yur vehicle and the ther vehicles and yu ll be fine. We will begin by driving dwn the Bulevard and practice the SEEiT space management system. Can yu tell me what SEEiT stands fr? Student: Yes. S_earch E valuate E_xecute_ i_n_ T_ime. Instructr: Gd. Nw while yu are driving, I want yu t use cmmentary driving t let me knw where yu are searching, what yu are evaluating and what yur best chices fr executing will be. Student: I m searching my intended path f travel _0_ secnds ahead. I see a red light. It has been red fr a while. Maybe if I reduce my speed, it will be green when we get there. Gd! I judged that crrectly. Nw, there is sme cnstructin up ahead n the right. I think I will mve t LP t give myself mre space. I just checked my rearview mirrr and nticed there is a truck behind me. I need t increase the space in frnt f my vehicle s I wn t have t brake suddenly. The vehicle in frnt f me has his emergency flashers n and is mving slwly. Let me check mirrrs and _blindzne_ t see if I can safely change psitins. The left mirrr is clear and I still need t make a quick headcheck befre changing lanes. All clear. Nw I will signal, recheck traffic and mve gradually_ t the ther lane. 9 VADETS
