- Presentation No.5: Lane Changes, Passing and Parking
- Activity – blind areas around a vehicle. Take the class to the parking lot and a driver education car parked with a lot of room around it. Use chalk to draw around each tire. This will show them how small the “footprint” of each tire really is. Have a student sit in the driver’s seat of the car. Other students circle the car and back up until the student driver can see everyone’s feet. Use chalk and draw a circle around the car right at the feet of all the students surrounding the car. Have the students move so the driver ed. car can park elsewhere while the class analyzes the footprints and size of the blind “area” around this vehicle. Discuss what needs to be done to reduce risk while driving or parking knowing this large blind area exists. How can you make a lane change knowing this blind area exists?
