When Predicting A Point Of Conflict You Predict

basic tools for low-risk driving might be

good seeing habits and an ability to manage space

the area you can see around you is called

field of vision

how can you prepare yourself to deal with the worst possible actions of othe HTS users

assume others will make mistakes

when you use the predict step in the IPDE process you

judge where possible points of conflict may occur

an instersection is a

high risk area where the management of your path of travel needs constant attention

when braking in an emergency stop, you should

avoid the locking brakes

you should practice your orderly visual search pattern

as a passenger in a vehicle

to compromise space means to

give more space to the greater hazard

what is happening in your zones, what could happen, and how the change could affect you are involved in

predicting in the IPDE process

when you accelerate and steer at the same time, you are

executing a combination of actions

searching for visual clues and changes according to the driving enviroment. While driving on open highways,

search aread farther ahead than you do when driving in the city enviroment

searching for specific driving related clues

may cause you to be distracted

to aim high in steering means

you look ahead 12-15 seconds into your target area as you drive

how many searching ranges ineed to be evaluated in your path of travel

three

scanning means to

glance quickly and continually

you minimize a hazard when you

put more distance between yourself and the hazard

risk factors contributed by the roadway and the enviroment might include

construction, sharp curve, snow, or ice

searching for other roadway users includes identifying

uses of different sizes and shapes

when you identify that a roadway is narrowing from a multilane to a single lane, you should

move into the through lane as soon as possible

while driving on a rural highway, a tire goes flat. After pulling to the side of the roadway you should communicate with others by

turning on emergency flashers

when you tap your brake pedal, what messafe are you giving other drivers

i am planning to slow or stop

when you look far ahed as you drive, you are

aiming high in steering

executing in the IPDE process primarily involves

physical skills

when you compromise space you

put more distance between yourseld and the hazard

a target area range is the

first searching range

making driving judgements involves

measuring, comparing, and evaluating a traffic situation

the process of searching critical areas of the traffic enviroment in a regular sequence

an orderly visual search pattern

the IPDE process is an organized system of

seeing, thinking, and responding

when you apply the IPDE process you may decide to

change speed, change direction,and communicate with others

a space cushion is

an open area of space all around a vehicle

what is the smith system

an organized method to help drivers develop good seeing habits

the best clue that a roadway is changing from multilane to single

a warning sign

the best way to send and receive messages to and from other roadway users is to

communicate by using your lights and or horn

you separate hazards when you adjust

speed

when you must handle several hazards at the same time, the best tactice is to

adjust speed to separate the hazards

when you interpret the information you have identified, you

predict

when predicting a point of conflict, you predict

where your path might cross with another

choosing only those clues and events that pertain to your driving task

selective seeing

you are going to change direction, therefore you must

leave yourself an out

a space where you can drive without restriction to your line of sight called

an open zone

as you suddenly stop the vehicles, you should

check for vehicles to the rear

how many zones of space surrounding your vehicle are incorporated in the zone control system

six

as you drive on a residential street, you spot the following clues: a parked vehicle with front wheels turned toward the street and a person sititng behind the wheel. you should

predict that the vehicle may enter your path

if you lock the brakes when braking suddenly, you

lose steering ability

you compromise space when you

cannot separate or minimize hazards

the gripping power between the tires of the roadwat surface is

traction

searching critical areas in a regular sequence is called

orderly visual search pattern

what is probably one of the most importatn factors in maintaining control of your vehicle

speed

look for what overhead, in the center, or the corner of an intersection

light signals
