Segment 1 Drivers Training Test Cheat Sheet

  1. Buckle Up Properly - Always wear your seat belt correctly to protect yourself in case of a crash. Ensure the shoulder belt crosses the middle of your chest and the lap belt sits snugly across your hips. Remember, seat belts are your best friend on every trip!
  2. Minimize Distractions - Avoid texting, eating, or fiddling with the radio while driving to keep your full attention on the road. Multitasking behind the wheel can turn a quick glance into a dangerous mistake. Stay focused and keep your hands on the wheel!
  3. Maintain Safe Following Distance - Use the four-second rule to keep a generous space between you and the car ahead. This buffer zone gives you enough time to react if traffic suddenly stops. It's like having your own personal safety bubble!
  4. Respect Speed Limits - Obey posted speed limits to lower the risk and severity of crashes. Speeding reduces your reaction time and increases stopping distance. Slow down and enjoy the ride safely!
  5. Sober Driving Only - Never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs - impaired driving is illegal and deadly. Even small amounts can impair judgment, coordination, and reaction times. Keep it sober, keep it safe!
  6. Use Appropriate Car Seats - Ensure children are in the correct car seats or boosters for their age, height, and weight. Proper installation and fitting can drastically reduce injury in a crash. Tiny passengers deserve top-notch protection!
  7. Follow Traffic Signs and Signals - Pay attention to stop signs, traffic lights, and road markings - they're there to guide you safely. Ignoring them can lead to confusion and collisions. Obeying the rules keeps everyone happy on the road!
  8. Avoid Driving Tired - Drowsiness impairs your reaction time and decision-making just like alcohol. If you feel sleepy, pull over for a quick nap or switch drivers. Fresh eyes are your ticket to safe driving!
  9. Adjust for Weather - Slow down and increase following distance in rain, fog, or snow to maintain control. Wet or icy roads can turn small bumps into big problems. Drive like a cautious snowbird to stay safe!
  10. Know GDL Laws - Understand your state's Graduated Driver Licensing rules - they're designed to help new drivers gain experience step by step. From permit stages to night restrictions, each phase builds your skills safely. Master the rules, then hit the road with confidence!
