There is no statutory restriction on the use of the high beam while driving.

Category : Safety

Question:14

What is the relation between the vehicles speed and the vehicle’s stopping distance?

The higher the vehicle’s speed is, the shorter is its stopping distance.

There is no relation between them. The stopping distance is constant and does not depend on the vehicle’s speed.

The slower the vehicle’s speed is, the longer is the braking distance.

The higher the vehicle’s speed is, the longer is its stopping distance.

Category : Safety

Question:15

What should a vehicle driver do in case of a strong side wind?

Slow down and adjust the driving speed to allow him to control the vehicle – .

He should avoid driving on roads with side winds, or he should otherwise stop on the “hard shoulders” until the wind fades.

Turn on the fog lights and continue driving normally.

Drive faster to avoid the side wind.

To improve our field of vision and our ability to respond to surprises on the road.

Category : Safety

Question:23

What is required in order to change lanes without causing any disturbance or risk?

The driver should only verify that he gives a signal with the winker while changing lanes.

The driver should give a timely signal from a sufficient distance, perform a peripheral check in all directions, and glance at the mirrors, before starting to change lanes.

The driver should communicate with other drivers and give a signal 3km before changing lanes.

The driver should give a signal with the winker and with the headlights while changing lanes.

Category : Safety

Question:24

What effect does keeping distance have on the driver’s field of vision?

Keeping distance has no connection to the driver’s field of vision.

Keeping distance affects the driver’s field of vision while driving in high speeds and during stormy weather conditions only.
