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 to much
Backing a vehicle requires skillful use of the
break 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
check to see that the roadway ahead has no obstructions, make a blind spot check over your left shoulder.
Making proper turns depends on
steering and speed control
Why should you place your hand near the top of the steering wheel when backing
to begin pulling the wheel down while releasing your other hand
Always prepare to straighten your vehicle after a turn by
accelerating slightly and releasing the steering wheel
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 badly parked vehicle
that driver might hit you vehicle up 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 vehicle's 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 brake
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 the parking brake, you
release the parking brake after you feel the engine start to pull
