Category : Safety

Question:2

Is it enough to signal only when you begin to drive?

Yes, when starting to drive we can make do with just signaling. Then, when we need to merge with traffic, we will have time to look around.

No, signaling doesn’t give you any right. You need to make sure that you look around correctly in addition to signaling.

Yes, unnecessary actions, besides the required signaling, waste precious time and create unnecessary tensions.

Yes, when we start to drive we are lawfully obliged to signal. It is the responsibility of other road users to be careful.

You might end up in a lane that you are not allowed to be in.

Risk of hitting a vehicle that you didn’t see before deviating.

It is risky when the deviation takes too long.

Category : Safety

Question:15

What are the components of the stopping distance?

The sum of the braking distance and the gap from the vehicle in front.

The average of the driver’s braking distance and reaction distance.

The sum of the reaction time and of the braking distance.

The sum of the decision distance and the execution distance of a reasonable driver.

Category : Safety

Vehicles are parked adjacently to each other and pedestrians cannot cross between them.

There is no risk in the following roadway.

Sudden appearance of pedestrians or children from between the parked cars.

Traffic policeman writes tickets to drivers who parked on the right of the roadway,

Category : Safety

Question:17

Driving at dark with the high beam turned on might:

Waste electricity.

Blind (dazzle) other drivers.

Spoil the battery.

Impair the driver’s vision.

Category : Safety

Question:18

A panoramic mirror:

Is hard to adjust.

Does not correctly reflect the distance of the objects seen in it.

Is very flexible.

Is very expensive.

Category : Safety

Question:19

What is the advantage of driving on the right side of the road?

You are not preventing other vehicles from overtaking

There is no advantage in keeping to the right side while driving.

It is easier to see the incoming traffic from your opposite direction.

It allows an increased response time while overtaking.

Category : Safety

Question:20

What is the order of actions to be taken in order to stop or park?

Check if it is permitted; make a peripheral check and slow down carefully.

The order of actions before parking is of no significance.

Slow down, deviate, stop and signal.

Slow down, allow the vehicle coming from the opposite direction to pass undisturbed, and then overtake the parked vehicle.

Signal with your headlight to the vehicle coming from the opposite direction and swerve quickly to the opposite lane, before it arrives

Category : Safety

Question:22

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:24

What characterizes a state of driving in which proper distance from the vehicle in front is kept?

Driving that requires constant distance adjustments, according to the road’s conditions, and which is exhausting for the driver.

Less stressed and relaxed driving, which doesn’t cause tiredness, and prevents risks.

Keeping distance has no effect on the character of driving.

A state of driving which encourages other drivers to enter into the distance which is kept in front.

Category : Safety

Question:25

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:26

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:27

When is it permitted to pass more than one vehicle during one overtaking maneuver?

It is permitted in a straight and level roadway only, and prohibited in any other type of road.

Never: You are lawfully obliged to overtake only one vehicle during an overtaking maneuver, and to return to the right lane.

When overtaking is not restricted, and there is enough space in the overtaking lane for safe completion of the overtaking maneuver.

It is permitted when you overtake small vehicles only, and prohibited when you overtake big vehicles.

Category : Safety

Question:28

Is it obligatory to use an appropriate lower gear on every steep descent?

No.

Only on steep descents of at least one kilometer.

Yes.

Only when a “descent ahead” sign is placed at the beginning of the descent.
