Question:10

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:12

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:13

How can you reduce the effect of being blinded by a vehicle approaching from your opposite direction?

By properly adjusting the headlights beam, and flickering to the driver in front.

Question:14

What characterizes the following road?

Question:15

What is the required conduct of a driver that exits a dirt road and intends to enter a paved road?

He should enter the paved road: A vehicle exiting a dirt road has priority over vehicles driving on a paved road.

He should give way to all vehicles on the paved road, from right and left, and then enter the road.

He should honk, blink his lights and enter the paved road.

Question:16

When visibility on the road is poor, the driver should:

Slow down, adjust his speed to the visibility conditions and turn-on his dipped beam.

On a two-way road – slow down; and on a one-way road – continue driving normally.
