What items will be checked before you take the driving test (7)

Tires, brake light, directional signals, brakes, steering, horn or mirror

Your car must have how many braking systems that will be able to do what

Two braking systems. Each must be able to stop the car alone. The parking or emergency brake should be strong enough to hold the car on any hill. Your brakes must be able to stop your car within a certain distance

What is perception distance

how far your vehicle travels, in ideal conditions; from the time your eyes see a hazard until your brain recognizes it. The average perception time for an alert driver is ? second to 1 second.

What is reaction distance

how far you will continue to travel, in ideal conditions; before you physically hit the brakes, in response to a hazard seen ahead. The average driver has a reaction time of ? second to 1 second. At 50 mph this accounts for 55 feet traveled.

What is a braking distance

how far your vehicle will travel, in ideal conditions; while you are braking. At 50 mph on dry pavement with good brakes, it can take about 158 feet.

What is the total stopping distance

the total minimum distance your vehicle has traveled, in ideal conditions; with everything considered, including perception distance, reaction distance and braking distance, until you can bring your vehicle to a complete stop. At 50 mph, your vehicle will travel a minimum of 268 feet. The faster you drive the greater the impact or striking power of your vehicle. When you double your speed from 20 to 40 mph the impact is 4 times greater.
The braking distance is also 4 times longer. Triple the speed from 20 to 60 mph and the impact and braking distance is 9 times greater. At 60 mph, your stopping distance is greater than that of a football field. Increase the speed to 80 mph and the impact and braking distance are 16 times greater than at 20 mph. High speeds greatly increase the severity of crashes and stopping distances. By slowing down, you can reduce braking distance.

If moving to the curb to stop your vehicle you

check mirrors for traffic to the rear, check over your shoulder and signal intention. Release accelerator to allow vehicle to slow, pivot your foot to the brake pedal and press brake pedal with steady pressure for a smooth stop, move to within 12 inches of the curb. If stopping at a stop sign or traffic signal light, stop behind the stop line or crosswalk as appropriate.

If moving to the curb to stop your vehicle with manual transmission you

If you have a vehicle with manual transmission, always slow down using the brake pedal first before pressing down the clutch. Brake to a smooth stop then shift into first or the proper gear when stopped.

What are some of the common various systems used to remove the keys from the ignition

The "Transmission Park" System
Shift the transmission into the "park" position. Turn the key to LOCK and remove.
The "Two Hand Button" System
This system requires two hands. Depress button below the steering column. Turn key to the LOCK and remove.
The "Lever" System
Depress lever located near the ignition. Turn key to LOCK and remove.
The "One Hand Button" System
Depress button located near the ignition. Turn key to LOCK and remove.
The "Push In" System
Turn key OFF, push in. Turn key to LOCK and remove. The "Turn and Remove" System
Turn key to LOCK and remove.

What lights must your car have

Bright (high-beam) headlights which show objects 450 feet ahead.
Dimmed (low-beam) headlights which show objects 150 feet ahead.
Two red taillights mounted on the rear, visible from 1,000 feet.
A white light that makes the license plate visible from 50 feet (The plate must be kept clean).
Two red stoplights. They must be seen from 300 feet in the daytime, and must come on when the foot brake is pressed.

All vehicles must have at least

● All vehicles, including animal-drawn vehicles, must have at least one white light visible from a distance of not less than 1,000 feet to the front. They must also have two red lights visible from a distance of not less than 1,000 feet to the rear, or one red light visible to the rear for a distance of 1,000 feet and two red reflectors visible from all distances from 600 feet to 1,000 feet.

Your horn must be heard from a distance of

200 feet

Your vehicle must have at least one rearview mirror which gives a view of the highway at least how many feet to the rear.

200 feet

What are the bumper height requirements

Cars with a net weight of less than 2,500 pounds - 22 inches front and rear.
Cars 2,500 pounds or more but less than 3,500 pounds - 24 inches front; 26 inches rear.
Cars 3,500 pounds or more - 27 inches front; 29 inches rear.
Trucks under 2,000 pounds - 24 inches front; 26 inches rear.
Trucks 2,000 pounds or more but less than 3,000 pounds - 27 inches front; 29 inches rear.
Trucks 3,000 pounds or more but not more than 5,000 pounds - 28 inches front; 30 inches rear.

You may not have this equipment on your vehicle

Red or blue emergency lights. These are for emergency and law enforcement vehicles only.
A siren, bell or whistle.
A very loud muffler or one that lets out smoke.
Signs, posters or stickers on the windshield or windows (except those required by law).
A television which the driver can see.
More than two spotlights, cowl or fender lights, fog lights (in front), or other extra lights (in front).
Headsets worn by driver while operating a vehicle.

It must not be more than how many feet long unless you are towing poles, pipes, machinery, or other objects that cannot be easily taken apart.

15

If a chain, rope, or cable is used as the towing connection, you must have a

white flag at least 12 inches square attached to it.

What do anti brakes prevent

Anti-lock brakes prevent skidding and allow drivers to steer during an emergency braking situation. ABS can help improve vehicle stability (avoiding spinouts), steering ability (directing the car where the driver wants it to go) and stopping capability (distance needed to stop the vehicle).

What do drivers with ABS need to do

Drivers with ABS need to press down hard on the brake pedal, hold it and steer out of danger. In an emergency situation, the ABS automatically pumps the brakes at a faster rate than the driver could. Drivers should be aware that removing steady pressure from the brake pedal or pumping the brakes will disengage or "turn off" the ABS.

Vehicles can be equipped with two different types of ABS:

Four-wheel on passenger cars and some light trucks. Always remember to brake hard and steer. It is important to keep firm and constant pressure on the brake pedal while stopping.
Rear-wheel-only on some light trucks. It prevents the rear wheels from locking up so that the back end of the vehicle does not skid sideways. The front wheels can still lock up and the driver will lose steering control if this happens. In this situation, the driver should let up on the brake pedal with just enough pressure to allow the front wheel to start rolling again to regain control. When the driver feels that he has regained steering control, the brake pedal should again be firmly engaged.

If you accept employment or engage in a trade, profession or occupation in Florida or if you enroll your children to be educated in a public school in Florida, the vehicle you own must have a

Florida registration certificate and license plate. You must obtain the registration certificate and license plate within 10 days after beginning employment or enrollment.

What is the stopping distance at 20 mph?

At 20 mph during perception and reaction time, a vehicle will travel 45 feet (30 feet per second x 1.5 seconds). Once the brakes are applied, it takes approximately 19 feet to come to a stop, for a total distance of 64 feet.

When you double your speed from 20 to 40 mph What is the braking distance?

This means speeding increases your stopping distance and force of impact. Double your speed from 20 to 40 mph your braking distance and force of impact are 4 times greater. Triple your speed from 20 to 60 mph and your braking distance and impact are 9 times greater.

What is the stopping distance for a car on a dry surface at 50 mph at 60 mph?

Time to Stop - Your Car.

What is your total stopping distance?

Total Stopping Distance is the sum of the perception distance, reaction distance and braking distance. Once a driver perceives a need to slow or stop, a small amount of time passes. The time it takes to react and come into the correct braking position is the reaction distance.
