driving 101 learner's permit

Always set your emergency brake when parking your vehicle.

true

What car position is this?

downhill - Turn the vehicle's wheels to the right so that the front of the tire is up against the curb. Turn away from the curb. turn toward the side of the road

What car position is this?

uphill - Turn the vehicle's front wheels to the left so that the back of the front right tire rests against the curb. Turn away from the curb

• Be sure to set use your emergency brake before you exit your car.

What car position is this?

no curb- uphill or downhill. turn the wheels so the car will roll away from the center of the road if the brakes fail.

what does the stop sign and red light mean?

complete stop at crosswalks and intersections.

what does the yield sign mean?

to give way. never insist on taking the right of way.

If an oncoming vehicle has started to turn left in front of you

Slow or stop your car to prevent a collision.

If you plan to pass another vehicle, you should:

Not assume the other driver will make space for you to return to your lane.

What should you do at an intersection with a red signal light?

Stop before entering, wait for the green light before proceeding.

You are driving slowly in the fast lane of a freeway and there is traffic behind you in your lane. The driver behind you wishes to drive faster. You should:

Change lanes to the right when safe to do so.

Driving defensively is when you

Keep your eyes moving to look for possible hazards.

Low gears are used to overcome gravity while driving uphill and downhill.

true

When you are driving uphill, the force of gravity is working

against you, making you go slower so you need to accelerate

When you drive downhill, the force of gravity

makes you go faster so you need to press the brakes more. Gravity increases your stopping distance.

In a stick shift car, the driver who is parking their vehicle on a downhill should park

in reverse gear.

In a stick shift, if the driver is parking their vehicle on an uphill they should use their

first gear.

• If the driver is driving an automatic transmission vehicle, they must park in the parked position.

• They must use their parking brake and aim their tires at the curb.

true

lower gears provide more torque and acceleration

Momentum is the force of a moving object. The momentum of an object is proportional to its weight and speed.

true

The loss of traction in a stop or turn can be avoided by

• Driving slower

• Properly using your brakes

avoid brake and clutch wear

• Do not ride your brakes

• Do not drive with your clutch partially engaged (depressed)

• Use your lower gears to slow the vehicle on downhill grades (downshift). Improper lubrication of your engine and transmission will cause excessive friction, which will result in mechanical failure.

The operator of a motor vehicle must reduce their speed when entering into a curve due to

Centrifugal Force

Low gears are used to overcome gravity while driving uphill and downhill

true

what does this sign mean?

there is danger ahead because vehicles will be coming toward you. It is usually found on a freeway off-ramp.

what does a yellow line signify?

separate traffic going in opposite directions.

what does a white line signify?

separate traffic going in the same direction.

The steering wheel is connected to and controls the wheels by the axle.

true

on a steep hill, the car facing downhill must yield to the right of way by backing up until the vehicle going upil’ll can pass

true

If two vehicles enter an intersection from different directions at the same time and the intersection is controlled by stop signs in all directions or the signal light is not working, the driver on the right has the right of way.

true

Never stop at an intersection. If you are in an intersection and see an emergency vehicle, continue through the intersection and then drive to the right as soon as possible and stop.

true

• It is required for vehicles that are traveling slower than the other vehicles (5 vehicles) traveling on the same road in the same direction to use the designated turnouts and allow traffic to clear before proceeding.
