Passing Score 16

1. Rust around wheel nuts may mean:

It rained recently.

The nuts are loose.

The nuts are too tight.

It is important to inspect your tires before every drive. Rust around wheel nuts may indicate that they are loose.

2. When making tight maneuvers, it is important for a driver to:

Open their door for a better look.

Use their mirrors.

Flash their headlights.

While regular mirror checks should always be part of your driving routine, you should make a particular point of checking the mirrors when changing lanes, turning, merging, or making tight maneuvers.

3. When you double your speed from 20 to 40 mph, your vehicle's braking distance will become ____ times longer.

Two

Three

Four

If you double your speed, your braking distance will become four times longer. Similarly, the impact your vehicle would have in the case of a collision will also multiply by four.

4. The person responsible for the safe transport of cargo is the driver.

True

False

The driver of a vehicle is responsible for the safe transport of its cargo, regardless of who loaded the vehicle.

5. When you must travel down a grade, when should you switch into a lower gear?

Before beginning the grade

After you have already started the grade

As far down the grade as possible

At the bottom of the grade

Before starting down a hill, you should shift into a lower gear. This will help get your vehicle to a speed that you can control without having to use your brakes too much.

6. Black ice is usually very thick.

True

False

Black ice is a layer of ice that is thin and clear enough for the road to be visible through it. This makes the road look as if it is merely wet.

7. Distracted driving:

Always comes as a result of physical distraction, not mental distraction.

Can be elevated by pre-programming radio stations.

Can be avoided by eating while driving.

Can be avoided by not engaging in complex conversations while driving.

To reduce the risk of distraction, do not engage in complex or emotionally intense conversations while driving. Pre-programming radio stations before your trip and avoiding eating, drinking, or smoking while at the wheel can also help you avoid becoming distracted while driving. Remember that mental distractions that take your attention away from the task of driving can be just as dangerous as physical distractions.
