| left turns on green | must yield to traffic coming from the opposite direction |
| a flashing yellow light means | you much slow down and watch for others. it is found at construction sights, intersections , and on some vehicles. |

| upon approaching an intersection where a policeman is directing traffic | do what the officer instructs you do do regardless of traffic signs |
| drivers turning left must | yield to drivers turning right or going straight |
| drivers entering a roundabout or traffic circle must | yield right of way to people inside the traffic circle |
| drivers on a minor road must | yield to drivers on a main road |
| At a 4-way, 3-way, or 2-way stop | the driver reaching the intersection and stopping first should go first |
| when two cars reach an uncontrolled intersection at the same time | the car on the right has the right-of-way |
| if there are three lanes in one directions | the middle lanes are for through traffic. the left lane is for drivers who want to pass or turn left. the right lane is for drivers who want to go through, who are entering, or want to turn right. |
| if a road has two lanes in one direction | the right lane has the smoothest traffic flow and the left is for passing and turning left |
| Remaining in in the left lane | on a limited access highway is illegal. |
| passing on the right | is dangerous, cars on the right are hard to see |
| if you are turning left from a street with two or more lanes | turn from the lane nearest the center line |
| if you are turning right from a street with two or more lanes | turn from the lane nearest the curb |
| the steps of a turnabout first 3 | Make sure your car can be seen for 500 feet in either direction. Stop just beyond a side street or driveway on the right. Check your rearview mirror to make sure no one is approaching from behind you. |
| steps of a turnabout last two | Signal before backing into the street. Back into the right lane, then signal before pulling back out when safe to do so. |

| if you are parked on a hill | turn your wheels so your vehicle will touch the curb if the vehicle begins moving. if there is no curb, turn your wheels so that your vehicle will roll off the road. |
| if parking on a public road move | as far away from traffic as possible. if there is a roadside shoulder, pull as far onto it as you can, if there is a curb pull as close to it as you can |
| if you are parked parallel on the right side of the street, | give a left turn signal and look over your left shoulder before pulling into traffic. |
| if you are parked parallel to the left hand side of a one way street | give a right rurn signal and look right before pulling onto the street |
| first step of parallel parking | stop smoothly two or three feet away from the car you will be parking behind, and signal the direction you will be backing |
| second step of parallel parking | turn the steering wheel sharply right and back slowly towards the center of the car behind you |
| third step of parallel parking | when clear of the car ahead, turn wheel sharp left and back slowly to the car behind. |

| on splippery roads leave a distance of | 4 or 5 seconds between you and the driver |
| you need a greater following distance | for heavy loads or large vehicles |

| an orange reflective triangle with a red border | is a slow moving vehicle symbol |
| any time you merge with other traffic you need | a space of six seconds |
| whenever you cross or enter traffic from a complete stop | you need a larger space to reach an appropriate driving speed |
| whenever you pass a vehicle on a two lane road at high way speeds of 50 to 55 mph | you need 10 to 12 seconds to complete a pass. this means you need a 10 to 12 second gap in the traffic to pass |
| you may pass if on the road there is | a broken yellow line on your side of the road |
