[QUOTE="hillmillenia, post: 1119908, member: 46931"] 10 POINT COMMENTARY 1. STARTING UP AT INTERSECTION look left, right, and left. check rear view mirrors. 2. WHEN STOPPED IN TRAFFIC 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 an instant cushion if it should make a turn. 3. COUNT ONE-TWO-THREE AFTER VEHICLE AHEAD HAS STARTED TO MOVE this step is to be followed when stopped at an intersection behind another vehicle. check rear view mirrors. 4. FOUR TO SIX SECONDS FOLLOWING TIME FOR SPEEDS UNDER 30 MPH, 6-8 SECONDS FOR SPEEDS OVER 30 MPH 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. 5. EIGHT TO TWELVE SECONDS EYE-LEAD TIME 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. 6. SCAN STEERING WHEELS 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. 7. STALE GREEN LIGHTS 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. 8. EYE CONTACT when you must depend on anyone along the edge of your driving path to stay put until you are past the danger point, it is imperative that you get their attention. the horn and lights are your communication tools when you do not have eye contact. proper use of the horn to express a friendly message seems in many instances to be a lost art. only when you have eye contact can you expect the other person to react in a resonably predictable manner to avoid a dangerous situation. 9. PULLING FROM CURB glance over left shoulder when pulling from curb. 10. USE OF MIRRORS as a rule of mirrors, once ever 5-8 seconds. 5 SEEING HABITS AIM HIGH IN STEERING How do you do it? you pick an imaginary target centered in the lane of travel well ahead and aim for it. when you throw a baseball you aim for the catcher's mitt. when throwing darts you aim at the dartboard. What does it do for you? it centers your vehicle in the traffic lane and helps you find a safe path on turns. The key phrase to remember: "find a safe path well ahead" GET THE BIG PICTURE How do you do it? determine how wide and deep it is and what's in it. identify objects and ground hazards. What does it do for you? it keeps you away from billboards and provides for smooth stops and turns, and buy's time. The key phrase to remember: "stay back and see it all" KEEP YOUR EYES MOVING How do you do it? move your eyes to the front every 2 seconds and to the rear every 5-8 seconds. What does it do for you? it keeps you alive at intersections and keeps your eyes ahead of your vehicle. The key phrase to remember: "scan, don't stare LEAVE YOURSELF AN OUT How do you do it? have an escape route and take the path of least resistence. What does it do for you? it provides space on all four sides, especially in front. The key phrase to remember: be prepared, expect the unexpected" MAKE SURE THEY SEE YOU How do you do it? communicate in traffic using your horns, lights, and signals. What does it do for you? it establishes eye-to-eye contact. The key phrase to remember: don't gamble, use your horn, lights, and signals" that's exactly what i was given at school to remember for school next time. study up pt'ers :) [/QUOTE]
