Israel Driving Theory Test

Question:1

When are we required to keep a more-than-customary distance from the vehicle driving in front of us?

When driving in low speed on an urban road.

When trucks or other heavy vehicles are in front of us.

Question:2

Select the correct sentence:

Keeping distance is only required to keep distance while driving in high speeds, and when a heavy vehicle or a bus drives in front.

Keeping distance is only required when the driver is very tired and his responses are not quick enough.

Keeping distance prevents traffic congestion which damages road infrastructures.

By keeping proper distance, an overtaking vehicle can enter the space in front.

Question:3

What is the risk in shifting gears while driving a heavy vehicle down a steep descent?

There is no risk in shifting gears, and gears are not so important, as long as one of them is operated.

Shifting gears while driving down a steep descent is not dangerous.

There is no danger. By shifting from low gear to high gear while driving on a steep descent, the vehicle can drive faster.

There is a risk that the gear would not shift and the vehicle would stay in neutral gear.

Question:4

What is a driver always required to do when another vehicle “sits on his tail”?

Question:6

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

Question:13

What are the reasons for a vehicle skidding on a road?

Late and sudden braking and the presence of elements that prevent traction on the road’s surface.

Roads with a high coefficient of friction.

Driver tiredness.

Tires that are not worn out cause vehicle skidding.

Category : Safety

Question:14

What are you required to do when you see that the overtaking silver vehicle intends to return to the right lane?

Deviate to the left lane and overtake the vehicle in front.

Allow it to return safely and without disturbance.

Drive faster in the right lane and overtake the driver before he deviates to the right.

Honk to warn and deter the driver who deviates to the right.

Category : Safety

Question:15

How can we minimize the risk of brake loss while driving on a mountain road?

It is advisable to use the brakes without utilizing the engine’s braking power.

Drive in anappropriate (low) gear and avoid excessive use of the brakes.

Don’t use the brakes much and stay on high gear.

Do not change gears along the mountain road.

Question:17

What is the advantage of driving at a low speed during dangerous situations?

The driver’s reacting time is longer and he has enough time for making the right decisions.

The driver’s reacting, braking and stopping times are all longer, and therefore safety is improved.

The drrivers quicker reaction, braking and stopping times are all shorter.

The driver’s reacting time is longer and is sufficient for stopping.
