Unit 2 chapter 6 Flashcards
A person who is influenced by a strong emotion
should not drive until the emotion is under control.
When a strong emotion affects you, your chances of making a mistake
increase.
The emotion that occurs more often to more drivers is

can affect you driving task.
While driving a vehicle, the driver must be the leader of those in the vehicle because
the driver is responsible for the safety of the passengers

encourage the driver to let someone else drive.
Other roadway users can increase or decrease
your chances of having a collision.

The ability to see things clearly is
visual acuity.
A person with 20/40 visual acuity
must be twice as close to an object to see it as clearly as a person with 20/20 vision
Most people have a field of vision of
about 180 degrees
A narrow field of vision (140 degrees or less) is called
tunnel vision.
By using a following distance greater than three seconds and allowing additional clear distance ahead before passing, a driver can
compensate for poor depth perception
Night blindness means a driver
cannot see well when driving at night.
