Unit 1 chapter 4 Flashcards
When entering a traffic flow, look
to the left, the right, and center to judge available space
A beginning driver may tend to oversteer. This means the
driver turns the steering wheel too much.
Backing a vehicle requires skillful use of the
brake pedal.
A right turn hand signal is indicated by
the left arm and hand pointing up.
The hand signal to indicate slow or stop is
left arm and hand pointed downward.
Just before beginning any lane-change maneuver
Make a blind-spot check over your left shoulder.
Making proper turns depends on
steering and speed control.
Why should you place your had near the top of the steering wheel when backing?
to provide a balanced hand position
Always prepare to straighten your vehicle after a turn by
accelerating slightly and releasing the steering wheel.
Which statement is true?
a. Angle parking at the curb is safer than parallel parking.
b. Backing out of a perpendicular parking space is safer than backing into the space.
c. An angle parking space is the easiest type to get into
d. Parallel parking is the most dangerous of all parking types.
C.
For a right turn, start turning the steering wheel when
the front wheels are even with the curb.
Completing a turn requires that you
accelerate gently about halfway through the turn.
To back to the left, you
pull the steering wheel to the left.
When backing to the left, the front wheels move
far to the right of the rear wheels.
A turnabout maneuver is risky because
you cross or back into one or more lanes of traffic.
A turnabout is a maneuver for
turning your vehicle completely around.
Backing into a driveway or an alley on the right side
is the safest turnabout maneuver.
Why do you avoid parking in a space next to a a badly parked vehicle?
That driver might hit your vehicle upon leaving.
Angle parking begins with your vehicle
at least six feet from a row of parked vehicles
Use perpendicular parking to park
at a right angle to the curb.
When parallel parking on the right, turn the wheels sharply to the left when
your front bumper is even with the front vehicles rear bumper.
After completing a parallel parking maneuver, your vehicle should
be in the center of the parking space.
regardless of the hill you park on you should
set the parking break.
When parking uphill on the right side when there is a curb
steer left, shift to NEUTRAL, and roll back to the curb.
You are starting an automatic transmission vehicle on an uphill grade. If you use t he parking brake, you
release the parking brake after you feel the engine start to pull.
