Unit 3 chapter 12 Flashcards
In reduced visibility conditions, you need to work especially hard to gather visual information because
you need more time to respond to hazards
How can you keep the inside of your vehicle windows clear after you have cleared them in high humidity or rainy conditions?
Use the defroster or air conditioner.
If you are driving into sun glare from bright sunlight, you can reduce the glare and eyestrain by
using sunglasses and the sun visor
To give yourself more time for the IPDE Process at night,
look beyond the range of your headlights
When driving at night with no other vehicles present, use the
high-beam headlights
If an oncoming driver fails to use low-beam headlights after you switch to your low-beam headlights, you should
slow down and glance at the right edge of the roadway
If the oncoming driver at night at night fails to use low-beam headlights, you can attempt to reduce glare by
frequently looking ahead with quick glances
When you headlights shine into fog
light is reflected back by water particles
If you stop on the shoulder of the road in heavy fog, warn other drivers that you are not moving by
using emergency flashers
To help others see you during heavy rain, use your
low-beam headlights
When driving in snow, you should use
low-beam headlights and reduce speed
Rain tends to make roadways the slickest
as the rain begins to fall
hydroplaning occurs when your tires
lose contact with the road
If you must drive through deep water,
apply light brake pressure through the water
If windows ice up and traction conditions are especially hazardous, it might be best to
not drive at all.
