What do you do when….

Changing Lanes• Moving from right-hand lane to

left-hand lane–turn your head to check traffic behind

you and on your left (BLIND SPOT) –Give the left turn signal–See car you’re passing in review mirror–then carefully move into the left lane.

Parking• Uphill–Up, up and away–Away from the curb–Roll into the curb to stop

• Downhill–Down and in– Tires into the curb–Roll into the curb to stop

Sharing the Road with….Trucks• stay out of its "blind spots".• Large vehicles make wide right

turns.• Size and weight affect a

vehicle’s ability to maneuver and stop.

• Passing – flash lights (night)– Driver will help staying far right– Don’t stay next to large trucks

Motorcycles• Same rights and responsibilities• 50 % of all motorcycle collisions

occur at intersections• Most common cause of collisions

is the failure to detect and recognize motorcycles in traffic

• Do not share the lane

• Allow at least three to four seconds following distance to move in case of emergency

• Can stop in a shorter distance than a car.

• React differently to traffic, weather and road conditions than cars (wind, pot holes, gravel)

Motorcycles (continued)

Bicycles

• Travel in the same direction as vehicles • Drivers must yield the right-of-way as they

would to another car• After parking and before opening vehicle

doors check for bicyclists .• When making a right turn and a bike is

approaching – Bike goes first.
