Question:6

How are you required to conduct yourself according to the occurrence that is depicted in the following picture?

The fruits on the road are of no significance to you.

The vehicle might slip while braking, as a result of the fruits on the road, only when the roadway is wet from rain; hence, you don’t need to slow down.

The fruits on the roadway cannot cause the vehicle to lose its grip of the roadway; hence, you don’t need to slow down.

Slow down and drive carefully. The road’s conditions, e.g. the fruits on the road, prevent a good grip on the road.

Question:7

What is the best way to reduce the dangers whilst driving in reverse?

By taking a proper and continuous all round view and by driving slowly.

By driving fast and finishing the drive backwards as quickly as possible.

By turning on the vehicle’s lights.

By letting all the passengers off the vehicle while driving backwards.

Question:8

What effect does keeping distance have on the driver’s field of vision?

Keeping distance has no connection to the driver’s field of vision.

Keeping distance affects the driver’s field of vision while driving in high speeds and during stormy weather conditions only.

The greater is the distance we keep from the vehicle in front, the better is our field of vision.

Keeping distance affects the driver’s field of vision during traffic congestion only (“traffic jams”).

Question:9

Why are you required to be more careful while driving after dark?

The duty of care only applies under conditions of fog and rain.

The duty of care applies only in case of blinding.

Because visibility (seeing and being seen) is limited.

Honk loudly and continuously and swerve left, to avoid hitting the opening door.

Category : Safety

Question:13

How would you get the attention of the overtaken vehicle’s driver while overtaking on a freeway (motorway)?

Use the horn for as long as you are passing him. It is important that he doesnt ignore you.

You are permitted, if it is necessary, to use the horn briefly before passing, .

During day light, turn on the vehicle’s parking lights.

If required, signal to him with the vehicle’s four direction indicators.

Question:14

Continuous braking on a winding descent can cause:

Over heating and weaker braking than normal.

Over heating and stronger braking than normal.

Cooling of the breaks and weak braking.

Continuous braking has no negative affect.

Question:15

How should one drive on a flooded road?

Drive fast on high gear.

Drive slowly in low gear.

Question:16

How can a correct grip of the steering wheel help to control the vehicle and to keep it stable?

The way you grip the wheel is only important in sharp turns and curves, when the vehicle moves in high speed.

Correct wheel grip is only important in big and heavy vehicles such as trucks and buses.

In a new-model vehicle, the way we hold the steering wheel is important while driving in sharp curves.

A correct grip of the steering wheel allows precise turning of the wheel, thus allowing control at all times.

Question:17

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:18

In your opinion, why was a continuous line marked on the roadway?

Because of the limited field of vision ahead.

Because of the tree lines on both sides of the roadway.

Because there is a bus-stop bay on the right side of the roadway.

Because the roadway is narrow.

Question:19

When a driver approaches a narrow bridge, he should:

Cross the bridge as quickly as possible, to allow vehicles coming from the opposite direction to pass it without delays.

Slow down while approaching and crossing the bridge.

Stop before the bridge for safety reasons and then cross it quickly.

Drive faster only while approaching the bridge, and drive slowly on the bridge – in order to enhance safety.

Category : Safety

Question:20

How can we prevent our vehicle from skidding?

By holding the steering wheel firmly with both hands, and by driving at a similar speed to that of other vehicles on the road.

By driving reasonably and using the brakes in a gentle manner.

By stepping firmly and continuously on the brake pedal.

By turning the steering wheel right, to stabilize the vehicle.

Category : Safety

Question:21

What problem faces a vehicle driver who is driving at a high speed?

His response time is decreased, and thus his driving becomes more dangerous.

There is no problem at all: Research work has proven that in high speeds driving is more calm and relaxed.

The driver has very little time to properly respond to road events.

The drivers response time is significantly lengthened.

You must use another person to guide you.

You must use another person to guide you on highways..

You must use another person to guide you during "lighting up time".

Question:24

When is a vehicle affected by centrifugal force?

While driving in a straight line, even when the road is horizontal.

While driving around curves and turns.

While driving straight in steep uphill climbs.

While driving straight in steep descents.

From the moment the driver steps on the brake pedal until the vehicle makes a complete stop.

From the moment the driver identifies the danger ahead until the moment he begins to react to the danger.

From the initial reaction until the end of the vehicle’s braking.

From the moment the driver identifies the risk ahead until the vehicle makes a complete stop.

Category : Safety

Question:26

Which of the vehicles displayed in the picture is not parked correctly?

The vehicle parked while the pedestrian crossing is behind it.

Both of them are not lawfully parked.

Question:27

What is the purpose of the “hard shoulder” on freeways?

It is an escape place in case of danger.

It is a place to stop and talk on the cellular phone,

It is a place for parking and stopping for the purpose of driver refreshment.

It is a lane used for overtaking restricted vehicles, which illegally drive in the right lane

Category : Safety

Question:28

In order to avoid hitting a vehicle that makes a sudden stop in front of you:

Keep your foot on the brake pedal so that you can also stop if needed.

Try to overtake it so it will be behind you.

Always keep sufficient distance from the vehicle in front .

Stop immediately upon noticing the brake lights of the vehicle in front, regardless of your distance from him.

Category : Safety

Question:29

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:30

What are the risks of driving continuously for many hours?

Engine power decreases, and that reduces the braking capacity.

Severe tiredness and a tendency to fall asleep.

A healthy driver faces no danger in driving continuously for many hours.

Heating and accelerated wear and tear of the front tires.
