What should a driver do when an emergency vehicle is visual?
When approaching a stationary emergency vehicle using visual signals, yield, change to a lane away from the emergency vehicle, and proceed with caution. If a lane change is not possible, reduce speed and proceed with caution.
How can you minimize the effect of inertia on your body while driving?
Slow your vehicle by engaging a lower gear. Allow the vehicle to move regularly. Friction wears out your brakes and clutch. If used improperly, excessive wear to the brake pads and clutch can occur.
What are the three steps a good driver takes to increase space management and reduce risk?
Space management system (SEE) – a three-step process (search, evaluate, execute) that can help you understand what is going on in traffic and to be constantly planning and implementing a course of action. Space margin – the amount of space around a vehicle that separates it from possible sources of danger in traffic.
When listening to your car radio or other audio device you should?
When listening to your car radio, or other audio devices: A) You should keep the volume low enough to hear outside noises.
How does inertia affect the passengers in your vehicle?
When the car suddenly stops due to either braking or crashing, inertia will force the passengers or any other objects to keep moving forward. And since the force of inertia increases with the speed, the motion can varied from a light jerk to a more serious crash.
When you make turns the inertia of your vehicle goes to the?
When you make a turn, your car is subject to centrifugal force (inertia), which is pulling your car away from the direction you want to turn and into a straight line. In addition, all four wheels are pointed in slightly different directions, causing a “controlled skid” throughout the turn.
What are the 3 factors that increase risk while driving?
The three factors contributing to the degrees of risk while driving are the driver, the vehicle, and the roadway and the environment.

When you park next to a curb your wheels?
When you park alongside a curb on a level street, the front and back wheels must be parallel and within 18 inches of the curb. Park parallel to the street if there is no curb.
What are blind spots driving?
Blind spots are areas or zones on the road that cannot be seen by a driver while looking at rearview or side mirrors. The driver must turn his or her head in order to see a vehicle in one of these blind spots.
Can inertia affect a vehicle in motion?
Inertia keeps your vehicle moving until some force slows it down or stops it. This force can be your own action of applying a brake, the conditions of the road, an object on the road like fallen tree or, if the driver isn’t paying enough attention, even another vehicle.
What happens when a car hits a wall?
Most walls are less than 3 feet thick. If a car crashed into it at 65 mph, it would break the wall pretty badly, thus transferring much of its kinetic energy to moving chunks of the wall, and into breaking the cement bonds that holds the wall together. Conservation of energy is the first law of thermodynamics.
