Basic Control Tasks Start, Steer, Target, and Stop NV Driver Education Curriculum Unit 3: The Driving Task Presentation 3 of 7

Preparing to Starting the Vehicle Check/set parking brake Shift lever in P = PARK (or N = NUETRAL) Right foot on brake pedal (heel on floor) Left foot on “dead pedal” P R N D L Brake image taken by CCSD Teen image from: http://www.roadwise.biz/index.php?page=informations Retrieved: 12/08/09 Gear image from: http://consumerguideauto.howstuffworks.com/2010-ford-fusion-4.htm?photo=1732618&perspective=interior Retrieved: 12/03/09

Ignition Switch Accessory: On: Off / Lock: Start: Can be used to run accessories (lights, radio, ect.) without running engine On: Position of key when engine is running Off / Lock: Position of key when engine is off. Steering wheel and shift lever are locked into position Start: Position of key to start engine, release when engine starts Image taken by CCSD Retrieved: 12/08/09

Starting the Vehicle Key in ignition, turn to start Release the key as soon as the engine starts to avoid damage to the starter Check the gauges, warning lights, and fuel supply Turn on headlights (some automatic) Key image from: http://credit-blog.creditfyi.com/tag/missed-car-payments Dash image from: http://reviews.carreview.com/blog/2008-honda-fit-sport-review-small-on-the-outside-but-incredibly-big-on-the-inside/ Retrieved: 12/08/09

Hand Position for Steering Image steering wheel as a clock Place hands at 9 and 3 o’clock or 8 and 4 Avoid injury if air bag deploys Keep knuckles and thumbs on the outside of the rim Reduce injury in collision Clock image from: http://www.bossbrains.com/free/ Car image from: http://www.emsresponder.com/article/article.jsp?id=4390 Retrieved: 12/08/09

Hand Position on Wheel Video See 60 Second Driver video Hand Position on Steering Wheel http://www.mpi.mb.ca/English/dr_tips/driver_position.html (0:60) Always preview video before showing to students Check content Check availability 60 Second Driver image from: http://www.mpi.mb.ca/English/dr_tips/60sec.html Retrieved: 01/21/10 Click on web address to access video clips *Suggest full screen viewing

Hand-to-Hand Steering Also called the push-pull (slide) method Hands move in an up and down motion (on sides of wheel) sliding along the wheel Hands do not cross, body stays balanced Left Hand: Pushes Up (right turn) Right Hand: Pulls Down (right turn) Image From: http://www.jimsautoparts.com/intertrim.htm Retrieved: 12/08/09 Have student simulate the motion, turning a book (steering wheel) in front of them.

Hand-to-Hand Steering Method Hand-to-Hand Video See ADTSEA video Steering (Hand-to-Hand, then Hand-over-hand) http://www.adtsea.org/videos/Watch.aspx?VideoID=fc07329b-743a-44e3-ae10-f9d2c0be1e1c (0:42) NO sound See LearnerdriverTV video (UK) Steering Method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YraKhQ6Fhjw&feature=related (0:32) See DriverEdGuru video Hand-to-Hand Steering Method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kB_ewkm9zGo&feature=related (0:15) Always preview video before showing to students Check content Check availability YouTube image from: http://www.youtube.com/ ADTSEA image from: http://www.adtsea.org/adtsea/ Retrieved: 01/21/10 Click on web address to access video clips *Suggest full screen viewing NOTE: Some on - Check access

Hand-over-Hand Method Hand-over-hand steering is best used when needing to make tight turns or to make quick steering actions to correct a skid. Provides maximum movement of the steering wheel in a short period of time. Images taken by CCSD

Hand-over-hand Steering Method Hand-over-Hand Video See DriverEdGuru video Hand-over-hand Steering Method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16SoOOfftkE (0:18) Always preview video before showing to students Check content Check availability Click on web address to access video clips *Suggest full screen viewing NOTE: Some on - Check access

Hand-over-Hand Steering Best with speeds below 15 mph (i.e. U-turn) Hands cross at top of steering wheel One hand releases wheel Maximum movement in short period of time Left Hand: Pulls down, then reaches up beyond 12 o’clock and continues to pull down (left turn) Right Hand: Pushes up, beyond 12 o’clock (left turn) Image From: http://www.jimsautoparts.com/intertrim.htm Retrieved: 12/08/09 Have student simulate the motion, turning a book (steering wheel) in front of them.

Preparing to Move from Stopped Position Side Head Check Blind Spot Check Side Mirror Check Front Window Check Rearview Mirror Check Foot firmly on brake (heel on floor) Shift into proper gear R = REVERSE D = DRIVE = OVERDRIVE Check traffic (forward, rear, & sides) Signal D Image from: http://www.worldautosguide.com/2009/06/ford-mustangs-glass-roof-option.html Retrieved: 12/08/09

Putting the Vehicle in Motion Side Head Check Blind Spot Check Side Mirror Check Front Window Check Rearview Mirror Check Release parking brake Check traffic again (forward, rear, & sides) Select gap in traffic flow Move to open lane use progressive acceleration Image from: http://www.worldautosguide.com/2009/06/ford-mustangs-glass-roof-option.html Retrieved: 12/08/09

Entering Traffic When ready take foot off brake Press accelerator smoothly Steer into intended path of travel Cancel turn signal Accelerate to speed of traffic flow Image from: http://gaytravel.about.com/od/gaydestinationgalleries/ig/Las-Vegas-Photo-Gallery/Strip-at-Tropicana-Avenue.htm Retrieved: 12/08/09

Acceleration Techniques Progressive Acceleration (gradually gain speed) Squeeze accelerator gradually and progressively to pickup speed Thrust Acceleration (maximum speed increase without losing traction) Firmly push accelerator to quickly pick up speed REMEMBER: Keep heel on floor Pivot foot over the accelerator Image taken by CCSD

Targeting Targets help you steer A target is a fixed object far out in the distance in the center of the path of travel A target serves as an aiming point Targeting helps you plan ahead Image from: http://www.wfrc.org/cms/image_library/ImageLibrary/Street%20Scale/7/details/Street_Scale_-_Park_City__6_.htm Retrieved: 12/08/09

Targeting is a Visual Function Targeting requires focused vision Maintain an open line of sight From target to front of vehicle Use fringe vision (central vision) Image from: htthttp://minnesota.publicradio.org/display/web/2009/11/04/ash-borer-battle/ Retrieved: 12/08/09

Reference vehicle to roadway position Using References Reference vehicle to roadway position Placement within lane Placement to front and rear Placement to the side Image from: http://www.wfrc.org/cms/image_library/ImageLibrary/Street%20Scale/4/details/Street_Scale_-_Salt_Lake_City__4_.htm Retrieved: 12/08/09

Brake Control Braking Point - Point at which the brakes begin to work and slow vehicle Constant Braking Pressure - Apply constant “squeezing” pressure to pedal Normal Smooth Stop – Smooth stop, releasing brake pressure one or two seconds before vehicle comes to complete stop Audi image from: http://www.audi-forums.com/b6-forum/50644-aftermarket-l-e-d.html Mustang image from: http://hackedgadgets.com/2007/08/03/top-5-break-light-hacks/ Retrieved: 12/08/09

Braking Techniques Release the Accelerator (slows the vehicle) Controlled Braking (smooth, steady braking) Apply smooth, steady, squeezing pressure to brake pedal Ease off brake few seconds before stopping for a smooth stop Image from: http://www.ehow.com/how_2188533_replace-brake-lights-ford.html Retrieved: 12/08/09

Other Braking Techniques Threshold Braking (maximum brake pressure without lockup) Apply steady, maximum pressure without lockup Release brake pressure slowly for smooth stop Trail Braking (used when turning to maintain balance and steering) When entering curve or turn, use controlled braking prior to steering movement As enter turn, ease off brake and maintain slight braking pressure until halfway through, then accelerate out of turn.

Crash Reduction Tip Nearly 30% of all reported collisions are rear-end crashes. To reduce your chance of being struck from behind, tap the brake pedal (several times) before actually slowing your vehicle to alert any following driver of your intentions.

Did You Know? Francis W. Davis invented power steering in 1925. It was first used successfully in World War II military vehicles. Chrysler was the first car manufacturer to introduce power steering on a popular vehicle in 1951.
