| DIRECTIONS |
| 1) Read
all of the Units and if
you find any Nonsense Sentences (e.g. "Stop
for ants and pedestrians in crosswalks."), write
them on scrap paper that you can refer to later. |
| 2)
Determine the X-Fact for all
of the Units and print a
maximum of 5 words
on line X03 of the sheet to help you remember that fact. |
| 3)
Ensure you are
prepared to look at your X03 words during a Class and express
your X-Fact in a way that everyone understands. |

| Unit 101:
The BC Motor Vehicle Act applies (and you need a driver's licence,
safe vehicle, insurance, and a coffee) when you are driving on a
highway. BC Motor Vehicle Act Section 1: A highway includes every
road, street, right-of-way, and lane that's designed for, intended
for, or used by the public for the passage of vehicles. It also
includes private places and passageways to which the public, for
the purpose of parking or servicing vehicles, has access to or is
invited. |

| Unit 102:
ICBC v. Routley (1995): A police officer was injured when his car
was struck by an uninsured motorist who was driving on an abandoned
railway right-of-way. Since the time when the tracks and ties had
been removed, the general public (horseback riders, skiers, hikers,
cyclists) had used the right-of-way; therefore, it was a highway. |

| Unit 103:
R. v. Wong (1997): A BC ferry is a highway. Gray v. Ellis (2006):
A shopping mall's parking lot is a highway. Nadeau v. Okanagan Youth
Association (2013): A private field used as parking during a special
event is a highway during the special event. Pierre v. Miller (2010):
A forest service road, even if used by public, isn't a highway as
it's considered an industrial road. |

| Unit 104:
If you want to head left on the next cross street without the risk
of making a left turn at that cross street, you can drive straight
through the intersection and make 3 right turns or loop right through
a corner parking lot. Here's another strategy: turn right on the
cross street, then at a safe location, turn left, do a U-turn, return
to the cross street, and turn right on the cross street. |
