Lesson 4 Review

1. Before entering a vehicle, you should inspect the outside of your vehicle and
the area around it. You should keep an eye to the following guidelines: load
packages and passengers from the curbside, look carefully for approaching
traffic, walk around the front of the vehicle facing oncoming traffic so that
you can see it, wait for a break in traffic before opening the door.
2. Once you are inside the vehicle, you should close and lock all doors, adjust
the seat so that you can clearly see the roadway and comfortably reach the
floor pedals and other vehicle controls, adjust the head restraint and have
 other passengers adjust theirs, adjust the rearview mirror, adjust the left and
right side view mirrors, and fasten your seatbelt.
3. It is important to check the surrounding area of your vehicle to be safe. For
example, looking for children nearby can prevent a fatal accident that could
harm/kill a child.
