Question:5

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,

Question:11

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

You are driving a heavy truck down a steep and long descent. When should you shift to an appropriate low gear?

The gears are insignificant for slowing down, but you must use the speed retarders intelligently.

There is no need to shift to low gear. You should shift to high gear and regulate your speed with the speed retarder, to increase safety.

You should shift to low gear towards the end of the descent.

You should shift to low gear at the beginning of the descent.

Question:13

What are you required to ensure, among other things, before lifting the car in order to change a wheel?

That the handbrake is released until the wheel is taken off and a new wheel is installed.

That the handbrake is released throughout the change of the wheels.

That the car will not move.

There is no connection between the hand (parking) brake and the need to change a wheel.
