Mopeds and Bicycles on the side of the road rely on you to be watching carefully for potential problems ahead. Even if they are parked you could still hit them.
Hitting parked cars and bikes can be a nightmare. The roads are another element in the Highway Transportation System. You have to know how to change your driving for all of these different types of roads. Also the roads with pavement can get cracked, due to ice and wear on them. These roads can get icy or slippery very quickly, especially at the start of a storm.
Night Driving also changes these roads significantly and requires even more attention. As a driver, your job is to anticipate what pedestrians will do. Do this by looking seconds ahead and scanning the entire road, including sidewalks. Driving is a social experience and you still need to respect the other drivers. Communicate on who should go at the stop sign if it was a tie and other things.
These measures should include equipment, procedures, and protection designed to minimize exposures to hazardous chemicals, such as: Laboratory hoods.
Ventilation is a very common control measure for toxic materials. Well-designed and well-maintained ventilation systems remove toxic vapours, fumes, mists or airborne dusts from the workplace before workers are exposed.
Removing the contaminated air reduces the hazard of toxic materials…. How do you minimize a hazard, separate multiple hazards, and compromise space?
You first minimize a hazard by putting space between yourself and the hazard. You separate hazards by adjusting your speed to deal with one hazard at a time. You compromise space by giving more space to the greater hazard. What are some examples of HTS breakdowns? Steering wheel and break failure, running out of fuel, leaving lights on, collisions, traffic, injury and death. What three major elements should you always look for in any driving environment? Roadway features and changing conditions.
Traffic controls in every situations. Identify traffic controls as soon as possible. The result of wheel slip is that the tires spin quickly on the surface of the road without gaining any actual grip, so the vehicle does not accelerate. The task of driving is a social task because drivers must interact with each other. Stress, fear, anxiety, and other emotional states of mind can and will impair your driving ability. Distraction—not paying attention—is the number one cause of car collisions.
Unlike highways which are controlled-access or limited access roadways, interstates are restricted access roadways that go across state boundaries to connect different states. Highways serve major centers of metropolitan areas including major cities and towns, whereas interstates connect different states together.
Traffic on freeway moves faster as compared to the highway but the speed limit is restricted between 80KMph to 90KMph. Shuffle steering, also known as the push-pull method, involves pulling down on one side of the steering wheel with one hand while pushing up with the other hand on the opposite side.
Both hands work on moving the wheel, with one hand crossing over the other to continue the turn. Distracted driving is the number one cause of driver errors. The Smith System of driving is about reducing collisions, preventing injuries and saving lives. Each principle is designed to reduce the risks involved in driving by teaching drivers to anticipate dangerous situations.
By driving defensively, traffic-related injuries are reduced, even in adverse weather conditions. Ten seconds of idling can burn more fuel than turning off and restarting the engine. Road conditions that are minor annoyances to you can pose major hazards to motorcyclists. Gravel, potholes or slippery surfaces, and grooved pavement can cause motorcyclists to change speed or direction suddenly. Good searching habits and the ability to manage space on the roadway are two basic tools for-low risk driving.
Risk factors can be contributed by the driver, by the vehicle, by the roadway and environment. What is the main thing you should try to predict while driving? You should predict when and where possible points of conflict may develop.
What action should you take at a stop sign? You may decide to change speed, change direction, or decide to communicate.
