escaping quickly. If you are one of the individuals that are concerned about being trapped in a vehicle in the event of fire or going into the water, then plan ahead. Carry a hammer to break out a window. Carry a knife so that you can cut your self out of the seat belt if it does not immediately release. There are even companies today that market a tool that has a cutting device and a hammer all built into one product. If you decide to carry a hammer, knife or a specially made tool, make sure that you can reach it in the event of a collision. Remember that you may not be able to reach the glove compartment if you are embedded into the vehicle itself. "I don't need it. In case of a collision, I can brace myself with my hands." At 35 miles per hour, the force of impact on you and your passengers is brutal. There's no way your arms and legs can brace you against that kind of collision. The speed and force are too great. The force of impact of just 10 mph is equivalent to the force of catching a 200-pound bag of cement from a first story window. You may think that you are strong enough to brace yourself, but there are many strong individuals that can testify that they were not able to brace themselves in a collision. If
the force at 10 mph is equal to catching a 200 pound bag of cement from a first story window, imagine what the force would be like at 70 mph! "Most people would be offended if I asked them to put on a seat belt in my car." Polls show that the overwhelming majority of passengers would willingly put their own belts on if only you, the driver, would ask them. Before you say they would never listen to you, try asking passengers to put on a seat belt for the next three weeks. Prove it to yourself that most people will respect your concern for their safety. "I just don't believe it will happen to me." Every one of us can expect to be in a collision once every ten years. For one out of 20 of us, it will be a serious collision. For one out of every 60 children born today, it will be fatal. No one likes to think about being involved in a collision, yet it happens everyday to ordinary people and since you cannot control the actions of other drivers, this is the reason to be properly secured every time you enter a vehicle. "Well, I only need to wear seat belts when I have to go on long trips, or at high speeds."
yourself against someone else's poor judgment and bad driving. It is a sad fact of driving in America, but there are those who fail to consider the safety of others when they operate their vehicles. If every driver stopped to consider how their driving behavior might affect others, there could possibly be far fewer collisions. "I don't want to be trapped in by a safety belt. It's better to be thrown free in a collision." Being thrown free is 25 times more dangerous...25 times more lethal. If you're wearing your belt, you're far more likely to be conscious after a collision to free yourself and help your passengers. Safety belts can keep you from:
There is a telephone number given in the course for individuals desiring information about pedal extensions. True There are three factors that affect the force of impact.
This is the time necessary to decide which if any responses to make and to mentally program the movement. Response selection slows under choice reaction time when there are multiple possible signals. Movement Time (MT) This is the time that once a response is selected, the responder must perform the required muscle movement. Several factors affect movement times. In general, more complex movements require longer movement times. Practice can lower movement times. Device Response Time his is the time that mechanical devices take to actuate, even after the responder has acted. For example, a driver stepping on the brake pedal does not stop the car immediately. Instead, the stopping is a function of physical forces of gravity and friction. 1 0 factors that affect reaction time expectation Urgency Cognitive load Stimulus-Response Compatibility Psychological refractory period Age
Gender Nature of the signal Visibility Response complexity expectation Reaction times are greatly affected by whether the driver is alert to the need to brake. Expectation can be divided into three classes. The expected class is when the driver is alert and aware of the possibility of the need to brake. This gives the best possible reaction time possible. The unexpected class is when the driver detects a common road signal, such as the car ahead braking, and then decides to take action. The unexpected class has a slower reaction time. The surprise class occurs when a driver encounters a very unusual circumstance, such as a pedestrian crossing the road. There is extra time required to interpret the hazard and determine a response. This class slows reaction time to the greatest extent. urgency. People brake faster when there is an urgency, because the time for a collision is briefer. This occurs when a driver is traveling fast and/or the obstacle is near when first observed. cognitive load
right. The steer-right response will occur more slowly because it immediately followed the steer-left action. Age There is little doubt that reaction time slows with age. Yet, some studies find that older drivers compensate for slower reaction times with greater experience and the tendency to drive slower. Gender Although data is not entirely clear, it seems likely that females respond slightly slower than males at any age Nature of the signal The brain does not react as quickly to light intensity as quickly as it does movement or light color. Therefore, when a vehicle ahead stops at night, it takes longer for the brain to determine if the brake lights are activated or the red lights are only the illuminated tail-lights. Also, movement of an object toward or away from a driver is more difficult to distinguish than movement across their path. visibility Reaction time increases in poor visibility. Yet, at night, the recognition of vehicle lights can actually increase reaction time. During the day with bright sunlight, reaction time can be longer due to the lack of recognition of vehicle lights.
response complexity The more complex the muscle response action is, the longer the reaction time is. For example, braking requires lifting the foot from the accelerator and placing it upon the brake pedal and then depressing it. This is far more complicated than turning the steering wheel. It takes the brain longer to respond to the complex braking maneuver than to turn the steering wheel. The greater the speed, the greater the stopping distance. TRUE SPDE S canning, P redicting, D eciding, and E xecuting. Head o collision Most serious type of collision what is an intersection? an intersection means the area embraced within the prolongation or connection of the lateral curb lines, or if none, the lateral boundary lines of the roadways of two highways that join one another at, or approximately at, right angles, or the area within which vehicles traveling on different highways joining at any other angle may come in conflict. Where do a majority of collisions in the US occur? Intersections
