unit 3

The chance of a collision is greatest at

An intersection

Once in an intersection

You may not make any Lane changes

When turning your last check is

For a controlled Zone

An intersection that has signals or signs to assign the right away is called

Controlled intersection

You allow others to go first when you

Yield

A through street is created when you stop or yield signs are on

2 corners of the intersecting Street

You intend to turn left at an intersection. Others will yield the right-of-way to you for a left turn only when your

Left turn arrow is green

A light that has just turned green is

A fresh green light

An intersection with a left turn light a green arrow or a delayed green light has

A protected left-turn

Turning right on red after stopping is permitted

Unless an sign prohibits it

You plan to cross an intersection but your vision is blocked by parked Vehicles you should look

Left, right, and a head as you creep forward

Controlled Railroad crossing is identified by

Flashing red lights and a crossing gate

Generally uncontrolled intersections are found in

Residential areas

Refer to the figure above to answer a question 14 when you are near an uncontrolled intersection at a location 2 shown in the diagram which way should you look first

To the left

As you approach an uncontrolled intersection you identify a pedestrian who has entered the intersection you must

The pedestrian go first

The sign for a railroad crossing is

Round, yellow sign

An uncontrolled railroad crossing usually has

A crossbuck and a round, yellow sign

When following a bus across a railroad crossing, you should

Prepare for it to stop

You have the right of way at an intersection

Only when other drivers give it to you

Traffic signs and signals show who

Should yield the right-of-way

You must yield the right-of-way

at traffic signs

Traffic is moving at 30 miles per hour on a street you plan to cross. How large a gap in each direction should you have?

About two-thirds of a block

Turning right and accelerating to 30 miles per hour takes about

6 seconds

When you cross a through street from a stop sign, you must judge the size of the

Gapps in the traffic from each Direction

When turning right and joining traffic, the faster traffic is moving the

Larger the Gap must be

What makes it difficult for the vehicle drivers to judge a motorcycle speed and distance

The motorcycles smaller size

An oncoming motorcyclist is signaling for a left turn. Vehicle driver preparing to turn left in front of the motorcycle should complete the turn only after the motorcycle has

Started in the path of a left turn

Why are motorcyclist often to see behind your vehicle

The relatively small size of the motorcycle is lost in your blind spot area

To protect a tailgating motorcyclist while following another vehicle you should

Increase your following distance

When a motorcyclist is overtaking you you should

Maintain speed and Lane position

As the driver of a vehicle you should

Flash your lights at a cyclist so he or she will move over

A motorcycle with balance and stability depend on

The riders skill and experience

If the motorcyclist applies the front brake too hard the

Front brake can lock up and cause loss of control

A motorcyclist might have more difficulty stopping than a vehicle driver because

Motorcycles require use of separate brakes for the front and rear

Death or injury to a motorcyclist often results because the motorcyclist

Lacks protective equipment

In terms of traction, the worst time for a motorcyclist is

Immediately after a rain start

How should a motorcyclist cross railroad tracks

As close to the right as possible

Motorcyclist can make themselves more visible at night by

Putting reflective tape on their helmet and clothing

To avoid traction reducing conditions motorcycle and scooter riders

Change lane position

Mopeds are restricted from

High-speed roadways

Mopeds might not be able to keep up with traffic flow because

They do not accelerate as quickly as a vehicle or motorcycle

The pedestrians most at risk are

Children and older persons

Why are there many collisions involving pedestrians occurring at intersections and crosswalks in business districts

Many pedestrians assume that drivers will yield the right-of-way to anyone in the crosswalk

When a person leaves a vehicle he or she becomes

Pedestrian

Most states require that when a school bus is stopped to load or unload passengers on a two-way street others

in both directions stop

If any emergency vehicle is approaching and a heavy traffic you should

Pull as far right as possible

Why should you stay out of the open space to the right of a truck that is turning

They make very wide right turns

Low speed vehicles are required to

License plates and safety features such as turn signals, windshield, and seatbelts

What happens when you pass a large truck during rain or snow

Both traction and visibility r decreased

In reduced visibility conditions you need to work hard to gather visual in4mation because

You need more time to respond to hazards

How can you keep the inside of your vehicle Windows clear after you have cleared them in high humidity or rain conditions

Use the defroster or an air conditioner

If you are driving it into sun glare from bright sunlight you can reduce glare and I

Using sunglasses in the sun visor

To give yourself more time for the ipde process at night

Look beyond the range of your headlights

When driving

High beam headlights

If an oncoming driver fails to use low-beam headlights after you switch to your low beam headlights

Slow down and glanced at the right edge of the road

If the oncoming driver at night fails to use the low-beam headlights you can attempt to reduce glare by

Frequently looking ahead with quick glances

When your headlights shine into fog

Light is reflected back by water particles

If you stop on the shoulder of the road in heavy fog and other drivers that you are not moving by

Using emergency flashers

To help others see you during Heavy Rain use your

Low beam headlights

When driving in snow you should use

Low beam headlights and reduce speed

Rain tends to make the roadways the slickest

As the rain begins to fall

Hydroplaning occurs when your tires

Please contact with the road

If you must drive through deep water

Apply light brake pressure through the water

If windows are up and traction conditions are especially hazardous it might be best to

Not drive at all

Why can a bridge surface freeze before adjoining Road surfaces

Cold air circulates above and below the bridge road surface

Black ice

Is thin sheets of invisible ice

You are in a front wheel skid if you

Tend to go straight

If the rear of your Vehicle skids to the right you should

Stare straight ahead

Controlled braking is a technique of

Manually applying your brakes for a quick stop

in high wind situations

Steering can be difficult

If the vehicle's temperature light comes on turning the air conditioner off May

Help cool the engine

Never remove a radiator cap on hot engine because

The hot liquid inside can scold you

When driving in the winter you should

Make an extra effort to use the ipde process

If you have a leak in your vehicle's exhaust system you should experience

A buildup of carbon monoxide gas
