What are three ways that drinking school impairs the ability to drive? - ✔✔Alcohol
impairs vision, judgement, and reaction time
According to Florida's implied consent law, if, during a traffic stop, you refuse to be tested for
the presence of alcohol or drugs in your system, your license will be suspended for -
✔✔One year
To develop good eye habits while driving, you should - ✔✔aim high, keep your eyes
moving, and get the big picture
Instrumentation - ✔✔In order to operate your vehicle safely, you must know the
functions and locations of all the interior mechanisms of your car.
The instrument panel contains the following gauges:
a Speedometer, which indicates speed in both miles and kilometers per hour.
a Tachometer, which indicates the engine rotation in revolutions per minute (RPMs).
an Odometer, which indicates the total number of miles your car has been driven since it
was manufactured.
a Fuel gauge, which shows the fuel level in your car's fuel tank.
an Oil gauge, which shows oil level.
Instrumentation - Warning Lights - ✔✔Warning lights are provided on your car's
instrument panel. They light up in case of a serious problem. There are three kinds of warning
lights:
,Oil Pressure Warning Light
Temperature Warning Light
Battery Low Warning Light
Temperature Warning Light/Gauge: This light activates when the engine temperature or the
radiator's coolant is too hot. In some vehicles, a needle gauge indicates the temperature rising
in the warning zone of HOT.
If this warning light goes on while you are driving, STOP as soon as possible at a safe place
and shut the engine off.
NEVER REMOVE THE RADIATOR CAP TO CHECK THE COOLANT LEVEL WHEN THE ENGINE IS
HOT. The coolant is at boiling temperature and under pressure. If the cap is released, the hot
coolant will release with pressure and can cause severe burns if you are standing too close.
Oil Pressure Warning Light: This light goes on when the engine oil is not circulating at the
required pressure. Some vehicles have an oil pressure gauge that reads LOW when the engine's
oil pressure drops. If you see an oil pressure warning while driving, STOP immediately at a safe
place and turn off the engine.
Battery Low Warning Light: When this light goes on or the battery gauge reads LOW, the power
needed for your car starter is limited.
Steering Wheel - ✔✔The steering wheel is located directly in front of the driver's seat.
Turning the steering wheel transmits force, which turns the wheels to determine the direction
of travel. Whichever way you turn the steering wheel, left or right, is the direction your car
will travel.
Most vehicles today have power steering that makes turning the wheel relatively easy. If you
have power steering and find it necessary to exert a lot of physical force to turn your wheel,
you should probably take your car to a mechanic.
,Ignition - ✔✔The ignition is located either on the side of the steering column or on the
dashboard. It is a multifunction switch, into which you insert your key and turn to energize
the electrical circuits and activate your starter motor.
Ignitions usually have three positions or "notches," which serve different purposes. You
turn your key clockwise to go to a higher position, and counter-clockwise to deactivate it.
The first position, which is closest to you, is the off position. The second position causes the
dashboard instruments to activate. The final position starts your engine.
Accelerator - ✔✔The accelerator is the far-right pedal located on the floor under
the steering wheel. This pedal controls the amount of gas being fed to the engine,
which determines the speed of the vehicle.
With your heel resting on the ground, use your right foot to push the accelerator.
Do not rev the engine. Push the accelerator gradually while your car speeds up.
Brakes - ✔✔The brake pedal is located on the floor to the left of the accelerator. When
pressed, it applies the brakes, causing the vehicle to slow down and/or stop. You must use your
right foot (heel on ground) to press the pedal and cause the brakes to engage. If your vehicle
has standard brakes, the pedal will move a little bit before it resists. If you have power brakes,
you do not need to apply as much pressure on the pedal to bring the car to a stop.
Parking Brakes - ✔✔The parking brake can be a pedal operated by your left foot, a
lever under the dashboard, or a lever to the right on the floor.
The parking (or hand) brake uses a cable directly connected to the brake mechanism to
bring the car to a stop if the regular hydraulic or air brake system fails. Most often, you'll use
it to keep your car in place when parked.
Gearshift - ✔✔The gearshift is either a lever protruding from the right side of the steering
column or a lever on the floor to the right of the driver. The gearshift changes gears to
maintain proper speed. It immobilizes the power train when parked.
, On cars with a manual transmission, the gear shift is actually a stick shift (a handle with a knob
at the top). When using a stick shift, you must learn to synchronize gear shifting with pushing
the clutch pedal, which prevents gear clashing when shifting, building up speed, or slowing
down.
Clutch - ✔✔The clutch pedal is found only in cars with manual transmission. The clutch
pedal is located on the floor to the left of the brake pedal. When pressed, it disengages the
clutch which eliminates the transmission of power from the engine to the transmission. When
released, it smoothly applies power through to the transmission. The clutch must be operated
with your left foot, again, with your heel resting on the ground.
Horn - ✔✔The horn is usually located in a pad at the center of your steering wheel, but in
some cars you'll find it as a button on the steering wheel, on the dash, or on the signal lever.
Make sure your horn is fully functioning and can be heard at a distance of 200 ft.
Mirrors - ✔✔Your vehicle is equipped with both rear view and side mirrors. Make sure your
mirrors are properly adjusted before driving. The rear view mirror is located at the top center of
your windshield. It is rectangle-shaped and allows you to see what is happening behind you.
You must be able to view the highway at least 200 ft to the rear.
The side mirrors are located on the car door exterior of your vehicle on either side and
allow you to view periphery traffic.
Lights - ✔✔Lights are important because they allow you to see your surroundings, give
others a way to see you, and indicate to other road users your next move. Cars are required
to have certain lighting fixtures, and these generally have luminosity regulations. Make sure
that your vehicle has these fixtures in place and that they are fully functional.
Vehicles must be equipped with low-beam as well as high-beam headlights. Low-beams must
be turned on when it gets dark or in any moment of low visibility due to bad weather.
Your vehicle must be equipped with:
High-beam headlights (bright lights). Objects 450 ft ahead should be visible with use.
