Question:26

How would a strong side-wind affect the movement of the tall truck?

The wind pushes to divert the truck, and the truck driver would be forced to slow down and overcome the lateral force that pushes him to the side.

Question:27

In your opinion, is the truck positioned correctly within the curve?

When driving on a sharp curve, it is required to stay in it as shortly as possible; hence his position is correct.

In sharp curves it is necessary to “cut” through the curve, in order to reduce the centrifugal force (the force that acts on the vehicle while it turns).

When there is no other vehicle in the curve it is possible to be positioned anywhere within it.

No, the truck driver is not keeping to the right of the road and his position presents a risk to any vehicle coming from the opposite direction.

Category : Safety

Question:28

How is the required distance for overtaking determined?

It only depends on the driving speed of the overtaken vehicle and not of the overtaking one.

It only depends on the driving speed of the overtaking vehicle and not of the overtaken one.

It corresponds to the speed limit in that road section.

Question:29

What effect does driving whilst keeping proper distance from the vehicle in front has on the vehicle’s fuel consumption and wear?

It is required to keep a proper distance to prevent accidents only, and it has no effect on the vehicle’s wear or fuel consumption.

The shorter is the distance kept from the vehicle in front, the lower are both brake wear and fuel consumption.

In order to keep proper distance from the vehicle in front you are required to constantly use the brakes, and therefore it causes quick brake wear.

When proper distance is kept – brake wear and engine fuel consumption are reduced,
