Ch 9 Basic Driving Skills

Moving from a Curb into Traffic and out of traffic to a curb Get in groups of 3-4 people. List the procedures for leaving a curb and entering traffic. List procedures for steering to the curb.

Driving Uphill As you drive uphill, your vehicle needs more power to keep moving at the same speed. How do you maintain your speed? Slowly increase the amount of pressure you are putting on the gas pedal. Continuously look at the speedometer make sure you are going the speed limit.

Driving Downhill As you drive downhill, your car will gain speed, so you need to decrease the engine power. Ease the pressure you are applying to the gas pedal, your car will begin to coast. If you start picking up too much speed, press the brake pedal lightly to slow down.

Mountain Driving The roads are curved and the grades may be steep. You need to use extra care to be able to control your vehicle under these conditions. Sharp curves, steep grades, and other vehicles limit how much of the road ahead you can see at one time. If this happens you should slow down. If necessary, tap your horn and flash your lights to warn approaching drivers. Pay attention to signs and pavement markings.

Effects of Weather and Altitude Rain, snow, haze, and fog are especially dangerous when you are driving in the mountains. High altitudes, the air contains less oxygen. This can make you feel short of breath and sleepy. Your heart may beat faster and you may get a headache. If any of the symptoms occur, change drivers, stop driving, or find a route as a lesser altitude, if possible. Mountain air also effects your vehicles engine. It heats up faster, and gas may vaporize in the fuel line, causing the engine to sputter and stall. Keep an eye on the temperature gauge.

Managing Visibility, Time, and Space When Changing Lanes. Two major phases: Advance Planning- Knowing where you are now, where you want to go, and what the road and traffic conditions are between the two. Making the change.

Advance Planning Visibility- Check your mirrors. Search ahead 20-30 seconds and to the side and rear. Are there other vehicles signaling to move into the lane you want to move to? Time- How fast will you be going? You may need to increase or decrease speed to change lanes. Space- Do you have room to make the move safely? Make sure there is a 3 second gap between vehicles that you can move into

Making the Change 1. Check your mirrors again. 2. Signal your intent to move left or right. 3. Check over your shoulder on the side next to the lane you want to enter for vehicle in your blind spot. 4. Adjust your speed. 5. Move only when you have the time and space to do so. 6. Steer smoothly into the next lane. Push-pull-feed steering is the best. 7. Turn off your signal once you have entered the lane.

Passing Another Vehicle and Being Passed Before you pass another vehicle, you need to know whether or not passing is legal. If passing is legal, you need to decide whether it makes sense to pass under existing traffic, weather, and road conditions. Decided your speed, the speed of the vehicle ahead of you, and the speed limit make it possible for you to pass safely.

How Do You Pass Another Vehicle PG 165 1. Check the path ahead, off-road areas, behind you, and the lane you want to enter. If you have any doubt, DO NOT pass If the way is clear, Signal. Flash your headlights, Use your left turn signal. 3. Check over your left shoulder for vehicles in your blind spot. Adjust your speed upward, and steer smoothly into the passing lane. (1/8th of a turn) 4. Accelerate firmly. 5. Check rearview mirror quickly. When you see both headlights of the vehicle you’ve passed in your rearview mirror, signal your intent to return to the right lane and steer gradually in that direction. 6. Turn off your signal, and maintain an appropriate speed.

If You Are Being Passed When you see you’re being passed, stay to the right in your lane. Regularly check your side view and review mirrors. Do not speed up: It is illegal to do so. Remain aware of the traffic situations around you.
