Assess merging, passing, and speed/space management.

Multiple Choice

#

Primary goal when merging from an on-ramp:

Match speed to traffic flow for smooth integration

Stop at ramp end then accelerate

Enter at low speed to save fuel

Signal only after entering

Speed match reduces disruption.

#

Safe completion of a pass occurs when:

You can see the passed vehicle's front in your mirror

Your rear bumper aligns with its front bumper

You accelerate 10 mph above limit

You drift back gradually without signaling

Mirror confirmation ensures space.

#

Increasing following distance at high speed primarily:

Expands reaction & braking time

Improves audio quality

Reduces tire wear instantly

Prevents lane changes

More distance for hazards.

#

Frequent lane weaving often:

Raises collision risk

Improves fuel economy

Guarantees faster arrival in all cases

Enhances tire traction

More conflict points.

#

Before passing you should:

Signal and check mirrors & shoulder

Honk continuously

Turn off headlights

Increase gap behind

Signals + observation prevent surprises.

True / False

#

Stopping at ramp end to merge is generally discouraged unless traffic forces it.

True

False

Disrupts flow if unnecessary.

#

Left lane is primarily for passing where "keep right" rules apply.

True

False

Promotes efficient flow.

#

Highway scanning should extend farther ahead than city driving.

True

False

More distance = earlier hazard detection.

#

Re-entering lane before seeing vehicle in mirror is acceptable.

False

True

Could cut off vehicle.

#

Abrupt braking is preferable to gradual deceleration for signaling slowdowns.

False

True

Smooth decel conveys predictability.

Scenario / Think & Reveal

1. Ramp merging: traffic dense, gap forming slowly. Strategy?

Adjust speed to align with gap, signal early, avoid stopping unless necessary.

2. Vehicle tailgating you at posted speed. Options?

Maintain speed, increase forward gap, change lanes when safe to let tailgater pass.

3. Passing attempt: oncoming lane view limited by curve. Action?

Delay pass until full sight distance; safety overrides speed.

4. Spot congestion forming ahead (brake lights). What early adjustments?

Ease off throttle, increase gap, communicate with gentle braking if needed.

5. After pass, you see vehicle's headlights in mirror but space tight. What do you do?

Wait to widen gap further before signaling and returning.
