After reading this Information Sheet, you should be able to:
1. Identify the different traffic signs and road markers; and
2. Explain each meaning to perform driving light vehicle.
Introduction:
In the previous lesson, you learned different traffic signs and road markers and its
corresponded meaning. The importance of observing and following of those signs. Traffic
rules and regulations/ordinances and techniques and skills in good and safe driving. Traffic
signs or road signs are signs erected at the side of or above roads to give instructions or
provide information to road users. A sign usually on the side of a street or highway bearing
symbols or words of warning or direction to motorists or pedestrians and often having a
characteristic shape. Road Markers or Road markings and road lines can be found along the
road or across the road to provide awareness to hazards, to give drivers rules or for
Signs that inform road users of traffic laws and regulations which, if disregarded will
constitute an offense.
It is important to know that you must follow the rules that are displayed by the
regulatory signs because they are presenting you the traffic laws.
1. Priority Signs Stop Sign Driver must come to a complete stop at the limit line,
crosswalk, or before the intersection.
• Yield Sign You must slow and stop if necessary, and give the right of way to the
vehicles in the cross traffic path; proceed only when it is safe.
2. Direction Signs These signs indicate the only direction(s) in which the motorist is
obliged to follow.
• Keep Right Signs Indicate that the vehicles must keep to right side to avoid a divider
or an obstacle.
• Keep Left Signs Indicate that the vehicles must keep to left side to avoid a divider or
anobstacle.
One-Way Signs Marks a one-way street; arrow points in the direction that the traffic
flows
• . Two-way Sign A two-way street is a street that allows vehicles to travel in both
directions.
5. Parking Signs
• State who is allowed to park in the area and when, and may specify where parking is
never permitted. These signs may specifically advise where:
You are permitted or not permitted to park.
You are not permitted to park except on certain days or holidays.
You are not permitted to park between certain hours.
You are only permitted for a certain duration.
You are only permitted if you have impaired mobility and have a valid
Disabled Person (DP) Parking Placard or DP License Plates.
You are only permitted to park if you are a USPS driver that is delivering
mail.
You are only permitted to park if you are making a delivery.
6. Miscellaneous Signs
• No Blowing of Horn Blowing your horn should be done only for a reasonable traffic
warning, and reasonable means to warn other road to keep them from doing
something dangerous, not to reprimand them for doing a dangerous act.
• No Parking Sign A "No Parking" sign means you can't park, but you can drop off or
pick up passengers or goods without leaving your vehicle (i.e. you must be within
three meters of your vehicle).
• Importance of Obeying Traffic Laws. Traffic laws are designed to protect you and
other drivers on the road. Why is road safety education important? Children and
young people are at significant risk on our roads. Road safety education plays an
important role in shaping the attitudes and behaviors of children and young people
– ensuring they become responsible drivers, passengers, pedestrians and cyclists.
Road Markings Road markings are a traffic sign in the form and design of a marking on the
surface of the road. They have the same standing as upright signs. Road users must obey
these road markings. The diagrams below show the most common types of road marking
and what they mean. ROAD MARKINGS Single or double continuous white lines along the
center of the road WHAT THEY MEAN All traffic must keep to the left of the line (except in
an emergency or for access).
Longer white lines / warning lines along the center of the road
These warning lines alert drivers to hazards such as restricted vision, approach to a
junction, approach to a roundabout, a hill, crests, bends and continuous white line
ahead.
Short broken white lines along the center of the road

Introduction:
In the previous you learned, traffic rules and regulations with accordance in concerned
traffic authorities. Traffic violations and penalties. Proper attire for all PUV (Public Utility
Vehicle). And Defensive driving techniques Traffic rules and regulations are rules designed
to expedite the flow of traffic and prevent collisions. Traffic laws are the laws which govern
traffic and regulate vehicles, while rules of the road are both the laws and the informal
rules that may have developed over time to facilitate the orderly and timely flow of traffic.
The Importance of Obeying Traffic Laws Traffic laws are designed to protect you and other
drivers on the road. If we do not follow them, we are not only putting ourselves at risk but
also innocent bystanders and drivers. By knowing the rules of the road, practicing good
driving skills and generally taking care as a road user, you help play a vital role in
preventing a crash. You will also be making road safety policies more effective. Many
factors play a role in road safety including following the speed limits that are posted and
making sure safety equipment is properly installed and used.
A. Road obstruction
B. Illegal terminal
C. Wearing of safety belts
D. Observing the Unified Vehicle Volume Reduction Scheme
E. Driving license/registration/franchise/Official receipt and certificate of

COMMON ERRORS IN DRIVING Travelling from one place to another without committing
any error and getting involved in an accident mean “perfect driving”. To achieve a good
record in efficient driving, here are some tips to avoid errors.
1. Traffic Violations Any traffic violation you committed, whether serious or not, do not try
to fix the traffic enforcer because this will make you immune to any traffic violations you
committed. One of the main cause of accident is disregarding traffic signs. Any traffic sign
installed to a particular place should be followed to avoid untoward incidents. To be able to
become a professional and responsible driver, you should know and learn to obey all traffic
signs. Always try to learn all the existing and new signs, rules, and regulations, especially
those signs installed on delicate areas.
2. Misuse of Vehicle Misuse of vehicle shorter its life. Some accidents are cause by misuse
of mechanical components. Checking of oil and tire pressure must be done before using the

Learning Objectives:
1. Identify various qualifications and attitudes of a driver, road courtesy, driver’s code of
ethics and;
2. Explain each meaning to perform driving of light vehicle in accordance with industry.
Introduction:
Driving etiquette relates to the general courtesy rules which communities expect the
operators of vehicles to follow while driving. Good driving etiquette typically involves
being courteous and staying alert which varies by vehicle, situation, and location (etiquette
for driving an F1 car involves different rules than etiquette for driving an RV). Failure to
adhere to this behavior can lead to increased risk of road collisions, trauma and road rage.
Driving etiquette can extend beyond in-vehicle actions. "When a courteous driver scrapes
the fender or inflicts minor damage to a parked car without its owner present, he leaves a
note giving his name, his telephone number, and the name of the insurance company. If the
owner is present, the courteous driver exchanges insurance information politely and
contacts the proper authorities right away without incident". Breaches in driving etiquette
can often be addressed amiably with a simple and immediate expression of apology. The
general guiding principle behind driver etiquette is "one good turn deserves another". It is
considered vital that everyone adheres to good driving etiquette. Speeding and aggressive
driving, both examples of poor driving etiquette, have been cited as negative factors related
to rural highways. Drivers need education about driving etiquette to prevent them getting
into accidents.
A. DIVING ATTITUDES Improving and maintaining good behaviors and attitudes to driving
are key components to enhancing the safety of our roads. As we become more and more
aware of our own driving behaviors, we can work on improving our attitudes, which, in
turn, will instill positive change in all the drivers in our driving community.
A Defensive Driver Must Be able to keep a safe driving record. Have a positive
1. Attitude A defensive driver must develop and demonstrate an attitude that road
users. Recognizes that other road users will make mistakes. Knows no journey is so
urgent that a safe speed can be maintained. Driving is a skill which requires the
application of good techniques. Believes that safe driving requires an alert mind at all
times.
2. Behavior An ideal defensive driver: Always wear a seat-belt. Keeps within the
advisory speed limit. Constantly scans the road for potential hazard. Signals his
intentions at all times. Shows courtesy at all times.The factors affecting the behavior of
the driver are the following alcohol, drugs, and fatigue.
Right Mental Attitude A defensive driver always maintains a safe caution of distance in
front and behind his vehicles by:
2. Adopting a positive and skilled mental approachSearch – The road seen ahead,
around and rear of the vehicles. Identify – The potential and immediate hazard on the
road. Predict – The actions of other road users. Decide – What to do to avoid an unsafe
situation.
1. Concentration • Standard of vision, hearing and health all have a bearing on the
amount of concentration. • The driver must adjust the speed of his vehicle on the
degree of concentration he is able to apply.
2. Driving Plans and Decisions • Driving plans should be made on the correct
assessment of the changing scene both ahead or to the rear of the vehicle. • Driving
plans should enable the driver to make decisions in a methodical manner. • Plans and
decisions are combination of what can be seen, what cannot be seen circumstances
which are expected to rise, allowances for the mistakes of other road users.
CHECK VEHICLE REGULARLY. MAINTAIN FIT FOR USE. KEEP YOUSELF IN GOOD
HEALTH PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY. SHOW CARE, COURTESYFOR OTHER ROAD
USERS. WHILE DRIVING USE SEAT BELTS BE ALERT ABOUT THE ERRORS OF OTHER
DRIVERS. NEVER MIX DRINKING AND DRIVING. START EARLY, DRIVE SLOWLY, REACH
SAFELY. DO NOT OVER SPEED OR OVER LOAD YOUR VEHICLE. GIVE SIGNAL BEFORE
TURNING, BRAKING & STOPPI NG. SLOW DOWN WHILE NEARISNG TURNINGS,
JUNCTIONS AND CROSS ROADS. DO NOT PARK VEHICLE IN PROHIBITED AND NO
PARKING AREAS DO NOT OVER TAKE DANGEROUSLY. AT NIGHT DIP YOUR LIGHTS TO
ON COMING, FRINTT GOING VEHICLE. DO NOT HORN UNNECESSARILY. NEVER HORN
IN SILENT ZONES. KEEP SAFE FOLLOWING DISTANCE. ‘MORE SPEED MORE GAP’. IN
ROUND ABOUTS GIVE WAY FOR VEHICLES IN YOUR RIGHT. RESPECT SIGNALS. NEVER
JUMP TRAFFIC SIGNALS. ALWAYS KEEP THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS WITH YOU. GIVE
WAY TO AMBULANCE, FIRE ENGINES & VIP CARRIAGES. DURING ACCIDENT DO NOT
RUN AWAY, INFORM POLICE KEEP YOURSELF CALM HAPPY WHILE DRIVING
Overtaking 2.Firstly, ignore any oncoming traffic as it is your right to drive on the
wrong side of the road once you have flashed your lights (if they work). Next swerve
out quickly to ensure you surprise anyone arrogant enough to be trying to overtake you
at the time. If this method fails due to too much oncoming traffic simply revert to
overtaking on curb side.
Responsibility. 3. In these examples under normal conditions the blue car would most
likely be responsible for the collision but there are special circumstances, if the person
driving the green car happens to be a foreigner then unquestionably the responsibility
relies entirely on the green car. If questioned as to how this could be possible simply
reply "If you were not in my country I would not have crashed into you."
Foreign Relations. 6. If you are in car B. and a foreigner is driving car A. this is the
perfect opportunity to make some cash. Once car A. enters the intersection drive into it
ensuring moderate damage to both vehicles. Once the driving exits his vehicle begin
yelling about how badly damaged it is and quote him a repair price many times what is
required. For the most profit aim for the expensive vehicles to maximize the potential
quote.
Road Crossings. 7. In this situation the driver of the blue car should slow but not stop to
ensure the pedestrian has an extra incentive to move quickly and as for the driver of the
green car he should accelerate to get past the pedestrian and not get stuck in the same
situation the blue car is in.
First Come First Served. 8. Giving way is a sign of weakness so at every possible chance
ensure you make it through the intersection with aggressive driving. Additionally, this
will ensure you get to where you are going allowing for more time to be spent doing
absolutely nothing.
Parking. 9. When parking we encourage creative thinking, treat it like a puzzle. Try to
insert as many vehicles in an area as possible and if necessary mount the curb or park
in an intersection.
Parking. 10. These lines were the only way we could convince foreigners it was safe to
cross the road but feel free to park over them and ignore them completely when
driving.
Driving Test. 11. In the Philippines we have discovered a way to streamline the process
of getting a full license and everyone seems happy with the results. Really we can't see
any down side to the new process.
Signs. 12. Originally these read "Local's parking only" and "No foreigner parking" but
these were decided to be controversial and were replaced with the same effect.
Give Way. 14. Feel free to completely ignore this sign it is simply to confuse stupid
foreigners.
Speed Hump. 15. Originally used to warn of approaching speed bumps but it was
decided to discontinue its use after discovering the sheer volume required.
Lost. 16. If you see this sign on the side of the road you have clearly taken a wrong turn.
Heavy vehicles Crossing. 17. Warning this area has frequent carabao traffic both
crossing the road and as a mode of transportation. Be prepared to spend a great deal of
time blocked by one while you pointlessly honk your horn.
Rest Area. 18. Keep your eyes out for this sign; they are a great location for family
holidays and get-togethers. They are also good for new bamboo housing areas as CR’s
and furniture are already supplied.
Road Work. 19. Road works ahead so begin slowing down now. As you get closer slow
to an absolute crawl so you can get a better view of all the workers doing nothing. If the
work is particularly interesting feel free to stop in the middle of the road and exit your
vehicle for an optimal view.
Cell Phones. 20. All drivers must be well trained in the art of texting on mobile phones
while driving.
Seat Belts. 21 Seat belts should never be worn and if possible even removed.
Drink Driving. 22. Studies have found drunk drivers get to their location quicker. We
recommend a bottle of red horse before driving to assist with traffic flow.
Over Loading. 23. To help keep traffic to a minimum we recommend putting as many
people into one vehicle as possible. Roofs and bumpers are also another good location
for stacking passengers.
Speeding. 25. Speed limits are determined by your paint job and muffler. The fancier
your paint work and louder your exhaust the faster you can go. Disclaimer All preceding
rules are pure speculation as no LTO officer could be found that had learned to drive or
would agree to follow any set down rules.
F. Drivers Attitude Behavior If the driver remains calm and respectful toward the
difficult passenger it may de-escalate the situation and reduce the risk of physical and
verbal assaults.
3. Managing emotions Life can be stressful. On the work front, ambitious goals,
disagreements with colleagues, and large workloads can create pressure. On the home
front, stresses from relationship challenges, financial strains, and work-life balance
issues can often trickle over into the workplace. The best drivers are those who have
learned how to manage these stresses and any negative emotional displays that may
come as a result of them. While self-awareness enables them to recognize when they
are irritable, anxious, or feeling threatened, for example, their ability to regulate these
emotions helps them to maintain their composure, and prevent any behaviors they
might later regret.
4. Listening skills Drivers, who despite these challenges, exhibit strong listening skills
have a number of advantages. They can be more efficient, because they are better able
to absorb and utilize the information to which they are exposed. They can develop
greater empathy, because by being receptive to what others are saying, they are better
able to understand what’s important to them. They build stronger relationships,
because others respond positively when they feel they are being heard.

LEARNING EXPERIENCES
Learning Objectives:
Introduction: In this previous lesson, you learned different job responsibilities of a traffic
enforcers and how to practice knowledge and skills on how to respect traffic enforcers by
giving a situation in terms of violation in connection to license. A traffic enforcer is
someone who enforcers traffic rules and safety standards. At times they may also be called
highway patrol officer. They detailed within neighborhoods or local police station or any
nearby posts. These days, there are even imaginative and creative traffic enforcers who do
different gimmicks to catch the attention of the people on the road and make them follow
rules and traffic regulations cheerfully as with the dancing traffic police. It may also be a
way to ease the stress and tension while on the road especially during traffic and rush
hours. Respect Treating people in a positive manner that acknowledges them for who they
are and/or what they are doing. Being treated or treating an individual in a dignified
manner. Respect is earned and is never just given. BUT, you must give respect to receive
respect. Meaning when you interact with an individual you treat them with dignity and in a
respectful manner as this shows your character as a person. And the respect will be
reciprocated. You must always behave in a respectful manner as this reflects on you, your
character, integrity and values of who you are as a person. No one owes you respect until
you have earned it, so there is no such thing as I will give it after they give it to me first.
That attitude is a disrespectful action to anyone you interact with as it insinuates that you
do not trust them to act accordingly, and implies that they "owe" you respect before you

Tens of millions of traffic tickets are issued each year, raking in big revenue for state and
local coffers. For the motorist, even one speeding ticket can raise your insurance premiums
for several years, and multiple violations can push your rates through the roof. Fortunately,
many tickets can be avoided with by following a few simple guidelines.
1. Drive Safely
2. Avoid admissions of guilt (or don't). • When the officer asks you if you know why you
were pulled over, never admit to anything if you intend to later fight the ticket. If you do
get a ticket, your admission can be used against you in court. • If you think you might get
away with a warning, you can try being completely honest. The officer may appreciate your
honesty and be more likely to let you off with a warning. It’s a tough choice to make, but do
your best to analyze the situation and the officer’s demeanor, and hopefully you’ll make the
right decision.
3. Contest a ticket. • If you can’t avoid a ticket, consider fighting it through the legal
system. Sometimes, just showing up indicates you are more responsible than other
motorists. Dress well, and be prepared to argue your side of the case without emotion and
with as much supporting material as you can provide. Depending on the judge and the

Be careful with trying to flirt your way out of a ticket. Some officers will play along, while
others will be offended and come down harsher on you for this gamble. Being rude,
obnoxious or demanding never helps. Be respectful. Try to chat with the officer and be
polite. The best way to avoid getting a ticket is to drive within the law. Do not threaten the
police officer with comments such as "I’ll see you in court." Be aware that in most
jurisdictions, going 15 mph (24 km/h) over the speed limit not only counts as speeding,
but qualifies you for a significantly more expensive reckless driving citation.
