A - Need a longer stopping distance

When traveling on rural roadways at higher speeds, remember you will______.?

At higher speeds than what?

When I was crusing on CA-62 I was running between 50 & 55 mph.
On Several non-freeway streets in Los Angeles it is common to exceed 60 mph.

I get 70mpg rural, <50mpg city, so the first answer is wrong.
Don't do "hand-over-hand steering" on a motorcycle, second answer is wrong.
I'm going slower, third answer is wrong.
My peripheal vision does not depend on where I am, last answer is wrong.

A stupid question with no correct answer offered. Obviously from some course you are taking, so you really ought to study your course material and give them the wrong answer they are expecting as "correct."

Travelling with equipment?

First thing I would reccomend is getting yourself a good camera backpack such as the ones made by lowepro. You want something that will not only be able to carry your camera, lenses and film, but your tripod as well. Tripods no matter how light they are, are cumbersome and after a while get heavy. Also, the size of your camera backpack will determine how many lenses you can bring, but if the case is that you get a small pack then stick with taking zoom lenses and not your fixed focal length lenses.
With regards to how much film to bring, just remember you are going to Ireland, not a third world country, so you will have access to photo stores and film. However, I would bring at least a minimum 30 rolls. In terms of color or black and white, this again really depends upon how you are printing your images. If you are printing digitally i.e., you have your negatives scanned. For this reason I would suggest color. I would also be sure to bring some high speed film as well, perhaps 800 iso or higher. Depending on where you go you may not be able to use a tripod, and for this reason have yourself some high speed film in case you are somewhere like a castle where the ambient lighting is minimal.
Anyhow hope this sort of helps out . One more thing, always bring your photo equiptment on the plane as carry-on, do not check it in. Also, if you do bring high speed film, when you go through the airport screening be sure to tell them you have high speed film and that you want your equiptment to be manually inspected. They will understand your concern and will check the film manually instead of sending it through the x-ray machine.

Can a person travel 106km in half an hour by car on a highway road?

Not possible on Indian roads. Not even on 6–8 laner yamuna express highway. Not even on Noida F1 racing track.106km in one hour is difficult but possible. However covering same distance in half the time seems impossible. One need to travel at an avg. speed of 220km per hr and given the condition there is no break, no traffic, no signals, etc.However, I have driven my car at 170kmph for almost 40min on Yamuna expressway and it was not so difficult. And I saw many cars crossing me.So this target of 220 would only be possible in the extreme rare case given the right car (bmw or Audi), conditional low traffic, no signals and alert driver.

Can you travel the USA without the use of interstate highways? Google Maps has a check box for avoiding highways but it makes you take the biggest roundabout way possible.

Yes you can avoid the Interstate Highway System and still get around at a fairly decent clip… just not as fast as you could on the Interstate.The US Highway System - the one with the black and white shields instead of the red, white, and blue shields of the Interstate - has a robust network of highways that predate the Interstate system.Many of these US Highways parallel a nearby Interstate. The example above, US Highway 40, parallels Interstate 70 throughout most of the country - although there are occasions where they are the same road, which is also not uncommon.Instead of being exclusively limited access highways with on and off ramps, US Highways can be any type of road from a high speed limited access all the way to the local downtown main street.If you use this method, it will be a bit slower, but you will get to see more typical US communities.As an example of the reduction in speed, there is a US Highway in my community and the same US Highway in my sister’s town 400 miles away. When I take the Interstate System, I spend 6.5 hours on the road. If I just used the US Highway that connects both our towns, it would take me 8.5 hours.

Why is nearly every car on the California highway running at 70~75 mph, and some even at 80 and higher while the upper limit is 65 mph? Which speed is appropriate?

I have spent a great deal of my life driving California’s highways and freeways. I always go with traffic, unless I am in a hurry.Then I am watching every on ramp, overpass, in the sky,and in traffic for a CHP patrol car or airplane.There are many different situations and types of highway, but in every case, if you are holding up the majority of traffic, you are going too slow. On multi-lane freeways you basically choose your lane as to how fast you are traveling and how far your exit is. The traffic in L.A. is constantly over the posted speed limits by 20 mph. However, If you are in the northern Sacramento Valley somewhere you will be within the posted limit by five or ten miles an hour max. Whenever I have spent any amount of time in L.A. traffic I always have to tone it down when driving elsewhere in the state. I always find myself in sort of shock after I’ve been in Northern California for any length of time and drive to the L.A. area. Everyone down there drives like they are on fire. However, it only takes a day before I am comfortable hammering down the freeways again.Interstate 5 is it’s own realm of traveling. The left lane is almost always going 80+ unless there is a CHP in the area. I remember traveling I-5 with my father many years ago, in Tule fog. (Tule fog /ˈtuːliː/ is a thick ground fog that settles in the San Joaquin Valley and Sacramento Valley areas of California's Great Central Valley. Tule fog forms from late fall through early spring (California's rainy season) after the first significant rainfall. The official time frame for tule fog to form is from November 1 to March 31. This phenomenon is named after the tule grass wetlands (tulares) of the Central Valley. Tule fog is the leading cause of weather-related accidents in California.) We were bumper to bumper at 75 mph+. You couldn’t see shit, and my dad was half scared, amazed and challenged. He was just laughing at the absurdity of it all. We got through, but I will never forget that. If anyone had made any kind of mistake there would’ve been a huge pile-up.You get a feel for what is safe, and what is just out of hand. Different parts of this state require different kinds of driving. What is appropriate is dependent on where you are, the weather, your individual driving skills, and what type of highway, road or freeway you are driving on. California drivers, for the most part, are some of the best in the world. They have to be to survive on some of the highways here. Happy motoring!
