D. Depends on the mechanical skill of the driver. Explanation : You must obey the posted speed limit, or, if no limit is posted, drive no faster than 55 mph (88 km/h). the legal limit on an icy or foggy expressway might be 55 mph (88 km/h), but the safe speed to drive would be much lower.

After entering the entrance ramp, you should move into the acceleration lane. This is the lane that runs alongside the main roadway. In the acceleration lane, you can adjust your speed to the speed of the expressway traffic until it is safe for you to merge into traffic.

slow or stop before entering the acceleration lane or expressway. should plan for fuel, food, and rest. a minimum of three seconds. the lane will be closed farther ahead.

What is the proper way to enter an expressway from the entrance ramp? go down the ramp and cross over to the traffic lane as soon as possible. use the acceleration lane to blend into the traffic. go down to the bottom of the ramp and stop until it is safe to enter the expressway.

What are 4 possible problems you may have entering an expressway? 3) Excessive traffic at rush hour makes acceleration hard, just follow flow of traffic avoid stopping on ramp, people behind you may be checking the sides for gaps and run into you.

That’s an absolute positive yes driving tests can get postponed and canceled if it’s raining outside if it makes conditions dangerous and taking a test to get a driver’s license when you aren’t experienced in driving that’s a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

A as rule of thumb it is recommended that you decrease your speed by a third during wet conditions. Let’s do the math; If you’re driving the speed limit down I-10 to get into Houston at 65 mph normally, then during wet conditions you should drive 43 mph. Speed in wet conditions affect stopping and braking distance too.

Did You Know? You should reduce your speed by 1/3 on wet roads and by 1/2 or more on snow packed roads (i.e., if you would normally be traveling at a speed of 60 mph on dry pavement, then on a wet road you should reduce your speed to 40 mph, and on a snow-packed road you should reduce your speed to 30 mph).

Changes in visibility, traction, and space are the three major highway conditions that require you to adjust speed. Your speed affects the distance you can see ahead along your projected path of travel.

When the driver behind you wants to pass, you should slow down so that there is enough room in front of your vehicle for the other driver to complete their pass. This will allow them to complete the passing maneuver in less time and more easily.

Leave a safe distance of not less than three (3) feet between the vehicle and the bicyclist and maintain such clearance until safely past the bicycle. Leave a safe distance when passing the bicycle, and maintain clearance until safely past the overtaken bicycle.

The 20 Most Dangerous Cities for Cyclists

• Arlington, Texas.
• Lafayette, Louisiana.
• Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
• San Antonio, Texas.
• Modesto, California.
• Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
• Phoenix, Arizona. Annual bike fatalities per 100K commuters: 201.
• Miami, Florida. Annual bike fatalities per 100K commuters: 193.

The general rule is that vehicles cannot pass on the right—but if the drivers to your left are traveling at a slower speed than you are, you don’t have to slow down to avoid passing them.

Answer: C, Bicyclists have a right to be on the road, so it is not appropriate to tell them to get off the road or onto a sidewalk. Further, shouting, yelling, throwing objects, or honking horns is dangerous. It may startle the cyclist and cause an accident.

Don’t Honk Your Horn Cyclists, however, have the same rights as other motorists and must be treated as so. Startling a cyclist could cause them to lose control of their bicycle and crash. Cyclists may tense up in their neck and shoulders, which impinges their handling of the vehicle.

“If a driver is riding besides or behind a cyclist, honking his horn, that’s aggressive,” he said. Sure enough, D.C. law says: “Do not use your horn to alert a motorist, cyclist or pedestrian of your approach in a non-emergency situation.” The law doesn’t specify what emergency situation would warrant to use of a horn.

Also, while cyclists don’t mind a quick beep from a distance back to let them know that a car is coming past soon, a long beep is a very offensive noise.

The current rule reads: “You should… never ride more than two abreast, and ride in single file on narrow or busy roads and when riding round bends”. Just as with proposed new rules relating to cyclists’ road positioning, riding two abreast can help discourage dangerous overtaking.

Cyclists have the same rights on the road as everyone else. This means that you must give way to them if you are turning left or right; remember, lane splitting is perfectly legal and so you must take account of the fact that they may be approaching on either side of your car and moving faster than you at that point.

The majority of riders can average a speed of about 15 mph on a one hour ride. A good speed for a beginner is 10 mph, but you should be able to get to 15 mph pretty quickly. If you start training every once in a while, you could get your average up to 18 mph, but training on a regular basis could get you to 22 mph.

Most cyclists can achieve 10-12 mph average very quickly with limited training. More experienced, short-medium distance (say 20-30 miles): average 15-16 mph. Reasonable experience, medium (say 40 miles): average around 16-19 mph.

25-28 mph

40mph downhill is not particularly fast or dangerous on a bicycle.
