Assiment due 7/26/07

List 8 areas where it is illegal to pass another vehicle and give a reason why you think it is unsafe to pass in these areas. This is a type 2 writing


  1. A hillcerst because you u cannot see what is coming.



  2. A curve because you still cannot see what is coming.



  3. A railroad crossing because if a train came then you dont know what or how fast the train is coming at you



  4. Intersetions is an unsafe because there is cars moving st hte intersection and you could hit one.



  5. Tunnels are a bad palce to pass because they are narrow.



  6. A bridge is a bad place to pass because you could hit the guard reail and go off the bridge.



  7. no passing zones because the sign said so.



  8. oncoming traffic because there isn't enough room to pass with a car coming you dont have the space and or time.


Using the power point 9.02 I would like you to explain the time and space needs for passing another vehicle. You are traveling at 60 mph and the car you are about to pass is going 40 mph. you will need to multiply each speed by 1.5 in order to find the feet per second that each car is traveling. Please explain how long it will take you to pass the vehicle, the number of feet that you will travel in each of the three parts of the passing maneuver. the total feet and time it will take, and compare that to the length of a football field which is 300 feet long. This is a type 2 writing. Remember to use the 9.02 power point to find the information you will need to solve the question



Type-2 The time and sapce that somone needs for passing. If the car traveling at 60 mph it is covering 90 feet, if the car that is going to pass you is going 40 mph then it is covering 60 feet per second, it would take you 10 seconds to pass the car going 40. the car going 60 mph it will take that person 15 sec. to pass the car going 40 mph, which will make it travel at the lenth of three foot ball feleids.
