Zorluk: KolayDefensive Driving and Hazard Anticipation

When a traffic signal turns green, a defensive driver should scan left, right, and left again before entering the intersection to verify that cross traffic has come to a complete stop.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

True. Defensive drivers must visually verify that the intersection is clear of cross traffic before proceeding, even when given a green signal.
The statement is true because defensive driving requires verifying that cross traffic has yielded or stopped before entering an intersection, regardless of signal indication.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify potential intersection hazards upon receiving a green signal.
Cross-traffic vehicles may fail to stop for a newly turned red light.
Red-light runners pose a high risk of broadside (T-bone) collisions at intersections.
2
Apply proper defensive scanning procedures.
Look left, right, and left again to confirm all lanes of cross traffic are stopped or stopping.
Traffic approaching from the left crosses your path first, making it the highest immediate priority before entering the intersection.
