Starting up at Intersection Right Ans - Look left, right, and left
When Stopped in Traffic Right Ans - When stopped in traffic, a car length of
space is required from the vehicle ahead. This will allow enough space to pull
your car around the vehicle ahead if it should stall and will give you an instant
cushion if it should make a turn
Count 1-2-3 After Vehicle Ahead Has Started to Move Right Ans - This step
is to be followed when stopped at an intersection behind another vehicle.
4-6 Seconds Following Time for Speeds Under 30 mph, 6-8 Seconds for Speeds
Over 30 mph Right Ans - This is to keep you from getting a fixation on the
car ahead and to allow time to obtain and hold the proper eye-lead time.
8-15 Seconds Eye-Lead Time Right Ans - This is the best way to keep your
eyes ahead of your wheels and is the depth at which your eyes should be
focused most of the time.
Scan Steering Wheels Right Ans - Look and see whether or not cars at the
curb are occupied. This is the only time they are a threat. If they are occupied
the driver is probably about to exit from the car or pull out from the curb.
Stale Green Lights Right Ans - The point of decision is an imaginary line
that you set up between your vehicle and the crosswalk when you are
approaching an intersection with a stale green light. Since you are not sure of
the light, you must be sure of the point behind which you will stop if the light
should start to change. This helps you get the big picture.
