How should mothers take their newborn infants home from the
hospital?
![Page 7: Delaware State Driver’s Education Study Guide Section 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e375503460f94b26f7e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Mothers may not take their
newborn infants home from the hospital in their
arms. They must use an infant
seat.
![Page 8: Delaware State Driver’s Education Study Guide Section 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e375503460f94b26f7e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
How does a driver check their “blind spot”?
![Page 9: Delaware State Driver’s Education Study Guide Section 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e375503460f94b26f7e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
For a driver to see in their “blind spot”, they should check over
their shoulder.
![Page 10: Delaware State Driver’s Education Study Guide Section 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e375503460f94b26f7e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What is the Delaware Law requirement for all passengers in
the car?
![Page 11: Delaware State Driver’s Education Study Guide Section 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e375503460f94b26f7e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Delaware Law requires all passengers to wear a seatbelt.
![Page 12: Delaware State Driver’s Education Study Guide Section 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e375503460f94b26f7e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What will well adjusted seatbelts do for you?
![Page 13: Delaware State Driver’s Education Study Guide Section 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e375503460f94b26f7e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Well adjusted seatbelts will:
1. keep drivers alert on long trips.2. keep drivers in the car during crashes.3. help drivers control their cars in emergencies by holding them behind the wheel.
![Page 14: Delaware State Driver’s Education Study Guide Section 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e375503460f94b26f7e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Delaware Law states that drivers must use their turn signals how far in advance before turning?
![Page 15: Delaware State Driver’s Education Study Guide Section 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e375503460f94b26f7e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Delaware Law states that drivers must use their turn signals at least
300 feet before turning.
![Page 16: Delaware State Driver’s Education Study Guide Section 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e375503460f94b26f7e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Good drivers look and search how far in advance of where they
are driving?
![Page 17: Delaware State Driver’s Education Study Guide Section 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e375503460f94b26f7e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Good drivers look and search about 10 to 12 seconds ahead.
This is the Visual Search Pattern.
![Page 18: Delaware State Driver’s Education Study Guide Section 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e375503460f94b26f7e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
How do good drivers check the dashboard gauges and mirrors?
![Page 19: Delaware State Driver’s Education Study Guide Section 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e375503460f94b26f7e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Good drivers use their eyes to check the dashboard gauges and
mirrors by using quick eye glances (movements).
![Page 20: Delaware State Driver’s Education Study Guide Section 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e375503460f94b26f7e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
How do you properly adjust your outside mirrors’ view?
![Page 21: Delaware State Driver’s Education Study Guide Section 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e375503460f94b26f7e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Properly adjusting your outside mirrors’ view to see a little of the side of your car will give you a reference point to see how close
another car is to you.
![Page 22: Delaware State Driver’s Education Study Guide Section 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e375503460f94b26f7e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
When backing a car, how do you turn the steering wheel to go in
the direction you want the rear of the car to go?
![Page 23: Delaware State Driver’s Education Study Guide Section 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e375503460f94b26f7e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
When backing a car, turn the steering wheel in the direction
you want the rear of the car to go.
If backing to the right, turn to the right. If backing to the left, turn
to the left.
![Page 24: Delaware State Driver’s Education Study Guide Section 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e375503460f94b26f7e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

If your car begins to skid, you should steer in the direction you
want the car to go.
![Page 26: Delaware State Driver’s Education Study Guide Section 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e375503460f94b26f7e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

![Page 27: Delaware State Driver’s Education Study Guide Section 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e375503460f94b26f7e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The best way to see while backing your car straight is to
look directly out the rear window.
![Page 28: Delaware State Driver’s Education Study Guide Section 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e375503460f94b26f7e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Braking too hard without anti-lock brakes (ABS) can cause the
wheels to lock (control problems).
![Page 30: Delaware State Driver’s Education Study Guide Section 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e375503460f94b26f7e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

![Page 38: Delaware State Driver’s Education Study Guide Section 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e375503460f94b26f7e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
What are some factors that determine the amount of friction
(traction) for car control?
![Page 39: Delaware State Driver’s Education Study Guide Section 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e375503460f94b26f7e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
The amount of friction (traction) for car control depends on the condition of:1. The brakes2. The tires3. The road surface
![Page 40: Delaware State Driver’s Education Study Guide Section 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e375503460f94b26f7e/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

![Page 43: Delaware State Driver’s Education Study Guide Section 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e375503460f94b26f7e/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
The best way to prevent hydroplaning (losing traction on
a wet road) is to slow down.
![Page 44: Delaware State Driver’s Education Study Guide Section 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e375503460f94b26f7e/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

If you hear a noise when applying brakes, you should:
• Brakes may be faulty and in need of repair
• If brakes fail, slowly apply the emergency brake.
– The emergency brake is a cable to apply the rear brakes manually
![Page 46: Delaware State Driver’s Education Study Guide Section 5](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e375503460f94b26f7e/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
