Chapter 5 Sharing the Road
2
When following a large vehicle, stay out of its "blind spots". Position your vehicle so the driver can see it in the side mirrors. Pay close attention to turn signals, and give large vehicles plenty of room to maneuver and make turns. When following a truck at night DIM YOUR LIGHTS
3
Normal speeds for slow-moving vehicles may range from 5 mph to 20 mph. Slow-moving vehicles may make wide turns and may turn right or left at any time into unmarked entrances. Slower traffic must drive in the right-hand lane.
4
Drivers should always be prepared to yield the right-of way to pedestrians When crossing at any place other than a marked or unmarked crosswalk, pedestrians must give the right-of-way to drivers. Pedestrians must not walk on a roadway unless there is no sidewalk or shoulder next to it. Pedestrians should not stand on or next to a highway to ask drivers or passengers for money, business, or donations.
5
Children often forget the dangers of playing near traffic. Some are not old enough to realize the risks of playing in or crossing the streets. Watch for signs that mark special hazard areas such as school zones, bus stops, playgrounds, parks and schools Be extremely watchful when backing in or out of a driveway when children are near.
6
Same as with the cars, allow at least 3-4 seconds following distance when behind a motorcycle! When your automobile is being passed by a motorcycle, you should maintain your lane position and speed. Allow the motorcycle to complete the maneuver and assume proper lane position as quickly as possible
7
On most roadways, bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as other roadway users Bicyclists are prohibited on limited-access highways, expressways and certain other marked roadways. If a motorist is turning right and a bicyclist is approaching on the right, let the bicyclist go through the intersection first before making a right turn.
