This is the longest chapter in the manual, spanning everything from hand position and speed limits to yielding, roundabouts, following distance, sharing the road, and dangerous driving behaviors like aggressive, distracted, drowsy, and impaired driving. Expect a large share of exam questions to draw from here.
A few core skills anchor most of the chapter: keeping a safe following distance (count 2 to 4 seconds behind the car ahead depending on your speed), knowing who yields at intersections and roundabouts, and signaling turns and lane changes well before you make them.
The chapter also covers how to handle emergency vehicles, stopped school buses, bad weather, and what to do at a crash scene. A common mistake is assuming the driver on the left always yields — actually, whoever reaches an uncontrolled intersection first goes first; the left-right yield rule only applies when two vehicles arrive at the same time.
Who has the right-of-way at an intersection with no signs, when two cars arrive at the same time?⌄
The driver on the right goes first; the driver on the left must yield.
When should I increase my following distance?⌄
Behind large vehicles, motorcycles, or bicycles, in bad weather or heavy traffic, when exiting an expressway, or when someone is tailgating you.
What must I do when a school bus stops with its red lights flashing?⌄
Stop and remain stopped, from any direction, until all people are clear and the bus moves again (unless you're separated by a median or barrier).
