Primary Local Driving Topic: Transitioning From Small Streets to SH 146
Morgan's Point provides a useful example of why local driving and highway driving should be practiced separately.
On a smaller city street, a driver can usually focus on nearby intersections and traffic. Once the trip reaches SH 146, the driver must think farther ahead. Lane changes, turning movements, pedestrians, cyclists, and higher traffic speeds require more advance planning.
Students should practice checking mirrors frequently, maintaining space from larger vehicles, and identifying their intended route before reaching major intersections.
