Lane Positioning
These are certain limits you have to obey on the road. The numbers will differ depending where you are
What is the Speed Limit?
This occurs when you suddenly accelerate or deaccelerate and makes your vehicle shift its weight
What is Pitch?

What is Momentum?
This is what you can see down the road while driving?
This type of steering is used to turn right
When selecting lane positioning, you need to make sure the area you pick is....
This type of acceleration is used when passing or merging into higher speed traffic?

What is paracentral vision?
Your hands should be at this position on the steering wheel
What is 8 and 4?
Lane position 1 places the vehicle here in the lane
What is the Center?
This causes the weight of the vehicle to shift from side to side
What is Roll?
This is the energy an object possesses due to its speed, or velocity (v) and its mass (m) : KE = 0.5 ∙ m ∙ v2
What is Kinetic Energy?
This type of vision gets affected by fatigue, drugs, and speed first
What is peripheral vision?
When backing up a trailer, your hand should be here on the steering wheel
What is the bottom?
Lane position 2 places the vehicle here in the lane

When braking, these levels get amplified on the driver/passenger. (think of jets, fast cars, fast crashes)
What is G Force?
What is focal vision?
When backing straight backwards, your hand should be here on the steering wheel
What is on the top of the steering wheel?
Lane position 3 places the vehicle here in the lane
What is to the right?
This is when the vehicle's rear tires lose traction and weight shifts to only one side (places emphasis on the rear tires)
What is Yaw?
This is an object’s tendency to resist any change in its state of motion
What is Inertia?
This is how many seconds your visual lead time should be
What is 20 seconds?
This type of steering is used when going less than 15 MPH
What is Hand over Hand?
