Chapter 7 "The Science of Driving"

*This chapter is all about:

*What are the laws of the road? We will look at how driver's are supposed to handle situations around busses, emergency vehicles, and among other things, Oregon's "Move Over" Law.

*We will look at how driver's handle curves and hills--drive line, lane position, speed control, zone control. Find Solve Control. We will learn how to keep the car in balance so we don't end up on "Dead Man's Curve"

*We will look at how much space we should have around our vehicle--following time and space.

*We will practice talking through safe driving with commentary. Find, Solve, Control.

Remember the main concepts from Chapter 6-Space Management. Lane Changes, timing our lights, and general space management.
