Question:1

What is the risk in braking while being forced to pull onto the “hard shoulder”?

The Vehicle may spin as a result of braking on different types of road surfaces that have different grades of friction.

Question:2

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.

An incoming vehicle driving in your opposite direction might appear on the lane to your left.

Disturbing a vehicle driving in the left lane.

Disturbing a vehicle driving behind you on your lane.

The required distance for stopping at a certain speed.

The distance covered by the vehicle from the beginning of braking until the vehicle stops.

The distance covered by the vehicle from the time that the driver identifies the risk ahead of him until the vehicle stops.

Category : Safety

Question:13

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,

Category : Safety

Question:14

How does driving on the right side of the road affect drivers field of vision?

Keeping to the right improves the field of vision of the drivers in the vehicles behind you.

Driving on the right reduces the view angle of those driving behind you.

There is no connection between driving on the right and the field of view.

The field of vision is not affected: A comfortable field of view can only be created by doubling the required distance between vehicles.

Category : Safety

Question:15

What risk is a driver facing while making a right turn?

There is no risk because all road users are aware of the law and know that it is prohibited to be on the right side of a vehicle that makes a right turn.

There is no problem because pedestrians and two-wheeler drivers should not enter into a gap created on the right of a vehicle that makes a right turn.

There is no risk during the turn, because the law permits two-wheelers and other vehicles to turn at the same time.

Two-wheelers might enter the gap to his right during the turn.
