Stopping and reactions scenario of one of four is important to drive at a speed that will allow you to stop at a safe distance from anything. Because of inattention, poor visibility or low visibility conditions, you may travel some distance towards a dangerous situation before you see it. Even after you see an object in your path, you may go an additional distance before recognizing it as a hazard which will require you to stop.
In the event the legal speed sign is missing, the speed limit 100 kilometers on pave portions of the trans Canada highway, 80 kilometers on other paved highways, 60 kilometers on gravel roads and 50 kilometers through out settlements or school zones.
Scenario two of four, reaction distance is the distance of vehicle travels after you move your foot from the accelerator to the break to suddenly stop. The time it takes three quarters of a second to stop on the breaks after seeing danger is know as reaction time. In three fourths of a second, your vehicle traveling at 50 kilometers will go ten meters about two car lengths before you can even start to apply the breaks.
Scenario three of four, breaks bring a vehicle to a stop. How far it travels before stopping depends on one—speed, two—condition of the breaks, three—condition of the tires, four—nature, five—condition of the road. It also depends on weathered vehicle is on a level road or traveling up or down a hill. At a speed of 30 kilometers, the average breaking distance is about ten meters and the stopping distance is the sum of the reaction distance and the breaking distance about 20 meters.
Scenario four of four is operating a manual transmission. Press the accelerator to speed up the engine a little and let the clutch hit slowly until the point of contact or friction is felt. Slowly let the clutch pedal up and accelerate lately at the same time. When the vehicle has reached about 15kph, to press the clutch release the accelerator, push the gear shift to neutral and onto the second gear. Release the clutch slowly and gently press the accelerator, repeat this procedure for changing to high gears.
Lights, scenario one of three, lights are required from one half hour before sunset to one half hour after sunrise and at any time when visibility prevents you form seeing persons and vehicles clearly at a distance of 150 meters or less.
Scenario two of three, use high beam lights only when driving in the open country without other cars near by. If you meet or follow another vehicle you must dim your light within 150 meters of that vehicle. Use low beam lights when approaching other cars, when you are driving by street light, in fog and within 100 meters of another vehicle.
Scenario three of three, at night the glaring headlights of on coming cars or the reflection of lights from behind and your rear view mirror can seriously reduce your vision. The glare from headlights causes the pupil of the eye to contract and it takes about seven seconds for the pupil to recover and readjust to be sensitive the less intense light. During this time, you maybe temporarily blinded, if you were traveling at 90 kilometers for those seven second you would have gone 125 meters while you had absolutely no vision.
To avoid the effects of glare, direct your vision away from headlights by looking to the right edge of the roadway. To cut glare from the rear adjust your mirror or use a day light mirror.
Well that is it, we are all done, congratulations on completing the theory section of the rules of the road drivers education program. This is what happens next, you will need to complete a rules of the road quiz. The quiz will be based on information covered during your online training.
Also, we look forward to your feedback, please provide us with your opinion on what you liked and disliked about the training. Upon obtaining a passing grade, you will be presented with a certificate of completion by email. You can use this certificate to prove you are ready to become a responsible driver. Again thank you for participating.
