TRAFFIC SENS
ICON Scenario description for LEVEL2
28. FLY OVERS
Do not try to overtake on a flyover or a bridge.
Wait for your turn to cross a narrow flyover/bridge and police barricades.
29. UPHILL DRIVING
As a rule of thumb, pass other vehicles when driving uphill only when absolutely necessary. If, for instance, a
vehicle is driving so slow that it’s affecting your ability to ascend, signal that you’re passing them with your turn
indicator. Overtake them only if you can clearly see far enough ahead to complete the pass. Do not overtake
hastily. Passing on a hill or curve is legal only if there’s at least 500 ft. (150 m) of visibility. For others, it’s advised
to overtake another vehicle only if you can see 1⁄3 mi (0.54 km) ahead.
30. DRIVING IN RAIN
Slow down. Your vehicle’s reaction time is much slower when it is raining. Reduced speed is imperative in rainy
weather. Turning on your vehicle’s headlights will increase both your own visibility and other drivers’ ability to see
your car on the road.
Use your windshield wipers. Turn off cruise control.
Maintain a long distance from other vehicles and avoid heavy braking.
Watch out for standing water. Driving through standing water can cause your car to hydroplane, or skid
across the surface of the road.
