Chapter 5 test, Managing Risk with the IPDE Process

Basic tools for low-risk driving might be

• good tires and a horn.

• fear of driving in inclement weather.

• good seeing habits and an ability to manage space.

• age and experience.

The IPDE Process is an organized system of

• Random behavior

• automatic responses.

• sensing and aticipating.

• seeing, thinking, and responding.

A space where you can drive without a restriction to your line of sight is called

• a car length.

• a closed zone.

• a clear space.

• an open zone.

A target area range is the

• first searching range.

• range of space you will travel in 12-15 seconds.

• area you need to identify changes in your line of sight.

• distance ahead of your vehicle where you evaluate your path of travel.

The area you can see around you is called

• field of vision.

• peripheral vision.

• selective seeing.

• path of travel.

What are the zones of the Zone Control System?

• left-front, left-rear, front, right-front, right-rear, and rear zones

• open, closed, target, identifying, and sight zones.

• 4-6 second, 8-10 second, 12-15 second, 20-30 second zones.

• central, peripheral, scanning fringe, and ground zones.

Choosing only those clues and events which pertain to your driving task is

• your minimum sight distance ahead.

• selective seeing.

• your field of vision

• an orderly visual search pattern

Searching for visual clues changes according to the driving environment. While driving on epen highways

• occasionally look far ahead.

• always look at the space closer than two seconds in front of your vehicle.

• never look into rearview mirrors because distractions will confuse your search

• search areas farther ahead than you do when driving in the city environment.

An intersection is a

• place to change lanes.

• low-risk area needing little attention.

• place to visit with a neighboring vehicle.

• high-risk area needing constant attention to your path of travel.

Searching for other roadway users includes identifying

• only those in motor vehicles.

• signs, signals, and roadway markings.

• users of different sizes and shapes.

• the characteristics of the roadway.
