Topic overview

This chapter walks through the full driving task, from getting ready to drive (vehicle checks, backing up, blind spots) through the physics of stopping (perception, reaction, and braking distance) to the everyday decisions that keep you safe: following distance, intersections and right-of-way, roundabouts, entering and leaving limited-access highways, parking, passing, speed limits, and turning.

The most-tested ideas are the four-second following distance rule (and when to increase it), how doubling or tripling your speed multiplies braking distance and crash force rather than just adding to it, the Move Over law for stopped emergency and service vehicles, and the specific situations where passing is never allowed (blind hills and curves, near intersections and railroad crossings, and where lines say not to).

A common mistake is believing in a "speed buffer" that lets you drive a little over the limit — Florida law allows no such cushion. Another is treating right-of-way as something you can take rather than something the other driver must yield; at an open or uncontrolled intersection, know exactly which situations require you to yield before you even start moving.

How much following distance should I keep behind the vehicle ahead of me?

At least four seconds under normal conditions, and more when it's raining, visibility is low, you're being passed, or you're carrying a heavy load — all of these make stopping take longer.

What does the Move Over law require me to do?

When you approach a stopped law enforcement, emergency, tow, utility, or disabled vehicle with its warning lights on, move out of the lane closest to it if you safely can; if you can't change lanes, slow down well below the posted speed limit as you pass.

Where is passing another vehicle never allowed?

Where a solid line is on your side, in no-passing zones, on hills or curves where you can't see far enough ahead, within 100 feet of an intersection, bridge, or railroad crossing, and when a school bus is stopped with its signals out.

- The pedal touches the floor when pressed
- The vehicle pulls to one side when braking
- The brakes make a loud squealing noise
