48 Minimum Following Distance

49

Coast the corner at around 15mph Accelerate out of the turn Release pressure on the brake prior to reaching the curve

51 S.M.O.G. To do a safe lane changes, pay attention to S.M.O.G.! – Signal – Check your MIRRORS (inside and out) – Look OVER your shoulder (blind spot check) – Go (if clear)

52

53 No Open-Toed Shoes! Sandals and other open toed shoe styles can get stuck under the gas or brake pedal!

54 How to Handle 4-Way Stops Who ever gets there first, goes first! If two arrive at the same time, the car on the RIGHT has the RIGHT of way If two cars are across from each other, the turning car yields to the car going straight.

55

56 Your Mom Always Used to Say… Look both ways before crossing the street. It’s no different when you’re the driver! Look LEFT, RIGHT, and LEFT again before crossing traffic

57 Stopping Distance Stop far enough back so it’s possible to see the vehicles rear tires touching the pavement.

58 Protected vs. Unprotected Left Turn When you see this green arrow you have the right of way! When you see a green circle in a left turn lane, you can still turn left, but you must yield to oncoming traffic first.

THE END But don’t make this YOUR end – this is only the beginning of many, many great years and safe adventures behind the wheel of a vehicle. 59
