Motorcycle
Due to their small size, drivers must use this defensive driving technique to ensure they see motorcycles, especially in their blind spots.
SMOG
When an emergency vehicle is approaching with lights and sirens, a driver must pull over to the right edge of the road and do this.
Stop
When approaching a crosswalk, drivers should scan the sides of the road and reduce their speed, a safety practice known as this.
This is the most critical time for drivers to be vigilant, as children are getting on or off the bus.
loading and unloading
A triangle-shaped road sign is universally used to indicate this action, giving priority to other vehicles.
Yield
This rule states that a car following a motorcycle should increase their typical following distance by at least this amount.
This state law requires a driver approaching a stopped emergency vehicle with flashing lights to move over a lane or slow down.
Move Over Law
A driver approaching a pedestrian guide dog or a person with this specific colored cane must always yield the right-of-way.
White Cane
When the bus uses yellow flashing lights, it indicates this, warning drivers that it is about to stop.
Impending Stop or Warning
The color of a regulatory sign that indicates prohibitions, such as "Do Not Enter" or "Wrong Way."
Red
A large piece of debris or a deep pothole that might not affect a car can cause a motorcycle rider to lose control due to this stability issue. (what is lost when this happens)
Traction Loss
When stopped at an intersection, the best place to check for emergency vehicles that may be approaching unseen is this
Rear view mirror
This defensive driving concept assumes that a child or an older adult pedestrian might suddenly move into the roadway without warning.
S I P D E or I P D E
In many states, you do not have to stop for a school bus if you are traveling in the opposite direction on a roadway that is separated by this.
Median or Barrier
When approaching an intersection with a flashing yellow light, a driver must do this before proceeding through.
Slow down and Proceed with caution
To help a motorcyclist see a potential hazard in a curve, they use this technique, which involves looking through the turn to their escape path.
target fixation
Once an emergency vehicle has passed, a driver must not follow closer than this distance, often measured in feet.
500 feet
In most states, pedestrians have the right-of-way in a crosswalk, and drivers must remain stopped until the pedestrian is no longer in this specific location.
drivers lane
Failing to stop for a school bus's flashing red lights often results in this type of penalty, which involves points against your license and a fine.
moving violation
This is the specific law that allows drivers to turn right on a red light after a full stop, unless a sign prohibits it.
Right turn on red
This is the term for the common, often fatal, accident scenario where a driver fails to see a motorcycle while turning left across traffic.
L-TAP
The law stating that if a vehicle cannot safely pull over to the right on a highway, the driver should slow down and create a path for the emergency vehicle to pass.
This driving technique minimizes the chance of a collision by providing the driver with more time to stop when a pedestrian is near.
reduction of speed
This section of the road around a school bus, extending 10 feet in all directions, is considered the most dangerous for children.
The five-sided, bright yellow-green sign, often featuring two silhouetted figures, is specifically used to warn drivers of this.
