How much distance should you allow between you and the vehicle in front of you when it is raining heavily?
Watch your speed and leave plenty of room – a gap of at least four seconds – between you and the car in front. Even if you’re driving with rain tyres, your stopping distances will be greater than on dry roads. If someone’s driving close on your tail, let them pass. It’s better to have them in front of you than behind.
How many seconds should you look ahead when driving in the city?
Proper Scanning: A general rule of thumb is to scan ahead 12-15 seconds in all environments, 1-11⁄2 blocks in city environments and 1⁄4 mile in highway environments. Blind spots and mirrors should be checked every 3-5 seconds before and after changing lanes.
How far should you be from vulnerable users in seconds?
In a city, 10 to 15 seconds is one block. On the highway, 10 to 15 seconds is about a quarter mile. When road conditions are less than ideal, or when you are traveling at particularly fast speeds, you should increase the area of the roadway that you scan to 20 to 30 seconds ahead of your vehicle.
What is the recommended minimum following distance for commercial vehicles in poor weather?
The easiest way to judge a safe gap is to use the two-second rule. By keeping a minimum of a two second time gap in front of your vehicle (double in poor weather) you will create space in which to react to any emergency that happens ahead. In wet weather or on poor road surfaces you should double this gap.
How do you find out how many seconds of following distance you currently have while driving?
1. How do you find out how many seconds of following distance space you have? To know how much space you have, wait until the vehicle ahead passes a shadow on the road, a pavement marking, or some other clear landmark.
Why is risk more controlled in intermediate driving environments?
Risk is more controlled in intermediate driving environments because there is less of an opportunity to change speed or vehicle position. Nice work! You just studied 25 terms! Now up your study game with Learn mode.
What’s the minimum following interval you should maintain?
• The minimum following interval you should maintain under ideal condition is 3 seconds. • When a vehicle is tailgating, you should slow gradually and move to the right side of the lane or roadway. • In 2005, 23% of drivers ages 15 to 20 who died in motor vehicle crashes had a BAC level of 0.08% g/dl or higher.
Is the risk inherent to the driving task?
HOWEVER, FOR MOST DRIVERS, RISK IS UNDESIRABLE AND EXPENSIVE. THEREFORE, PRUDENT DRIVERS MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO CONTROL, AND WHEN POSSIBLE, REDUCE THE RISK. AS YOU KNOW, A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF RISK IS INHERENT TO THE DRIVING TASK.
How many lines are on the driving risk control response form?
BEFORE THE START OF THE PROGRAM, YOU WERE GIVEN A STUDENT WORKBOOK THAT CONTAINS THE DRIVING RISK CONTROL RESPONSE FORM LIKE THE ONE SHOWN ON THE SCREEN. NOTE THAT THE FORM HAS 25 “AGREE — DISAGREE” RESPONSE LINES.
