Tunnel vision Flashcards
What is tunnel vision in the context of driving ?
Tunnel vision causes the visual field to narrow with increasing speed, making it harder to see the full surroundings.
How can you avoid tunnel vision while driving ?
Adapt your speed, keep shifting your vision, and scan all parts of the road ahead.
What do road markings help clarify for drivers ?
Road markings clarify rules, warn of dangers, divide lanes, signal prohibitions, and separate vehicle lanes from cycle tracks or pedestrian ways.
What does a solid continuous line on the road indicate ?
A solid continuous line stands for prohibition, meaning you should not cross it.
What should you do before approaching a bend in the road ?
Reduce your speed before approaching the bend to avoid losing control due to centrifugal force.
Q: How do you apply the three-second rule to maintain a safe following distance?
Pick a roadside object, count “one thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three” as the leading car passes it, and ensure your car does not pass the object before you finish counting.
What should you be cautious of at construction sites?
Be careful of heavy equipment and workers, and be considerate to road workers.
What are the steps to take when changing lanes ?
Plan ahead, adapt your speed, scan the road, check mirrors, check blind spots, use indicators, and move smoothly into the other lane.
What is the correct procedure for overtaking another vehicle?
Check the road and mirrors, check the blind spot, turn on the indicator, check the road again, start overtaking, and return to the right lane when the overtaken vehicle is visible in the center view mirror.
From which side is overtaking allowed?
Overtaking is only allowed from the left side.
