1. The best way to park the vehicle on a slope is to:
-
Put on the handbrake firmly.
-
Put on the handbrake firmly, place a support under one of the wheels and secure it by engaging a gear (first or reverse).
2. How can somebody secure a passenger vehicle with a mechanic gear-box against rolling on a downhill?
-
By putting on the handbrake and engaging the reverse.
-
By putting the gear into neutral.
-
By putting on the handbrake only.
3. What dangers are created due to aquaplaning?
-
The steering-wheel becomes “heavy” (it will not turn easily).
-
You cannot steer the vehicle through the steering-wheel and brake safely.
-
The vehicle develops a higher speed.
4. You are accelerating your car very harshly and it starts skidding. The first thing you should do is to:
-
Brake softly.
-
Brake harshly.
-
Release the accelerator.
5. Why must safety distance be longer when it starts raining?
-
It is very likely that due to the dirt existing on the road a dangerous layer of sludge may be created on the road, which may increase braking distance.
-
Braking distance is reduced.
-
Visibility is increased.
6. Frozen roads are often more slippery:
-
When the snow starts thawing.
-
When it starts snowing.
-
At the beginning of spring.
7. After a long dry spell a road may be more slippery:
-
When it stops raining.
-
When it starts raining.
-
After a two-hour raining.
8. You feel that the rear wheels of your car are sliding to the right. In order to correct this sliding you should:
-
Turn the steering-wheel to the left.
-
Brake and hold the steering-wheel firmly.
-
Turn the steering-wheel to the right.
9. You are moving in a straight road at a high speed. Which part of the car will lower if you slow down abruptly?
-
None.
-
The front part.
-
The rear part.
10. On a long downhill it is preferable that you should:
-
Change into a lower gear so as to take advantage of engine “braking”.
-
Brake continually.
-
Drive having engaged the neutral.
11. The panes of your vehicle have ice. What should you do before starting?
-
Remove the ice from the windscreen.
-
Clean the ice from all panes.
-
For driving within a city, it suffices to clean only the ice from the part of the pane which is in front of the driver’s seat.
12. What should you check, among others, in a passenger car with a towed caravan, before starting?
-
Whether rear visibility through the mirrors is sufficient.
-
Whether the towed caravan has all the necessary equipment.
13. Even in the day-time you must drive with the dipped headlights on:
-
When visibility is insufficient due to the dirty windscreen.
-
When visibility is insufficient due to a rainfall or fog or snowfall.
14. In order to avoid aquaplaning:
-
Drive at a reduced speed.
-
Drive in a high gear.
15. In case of a heavy rain, you should switch on:
-
The side lights only.
-
The rear fog lights.
-
The dipped headlights and the front fog lights.
16. The ice:
-
Is formed mainly in mountainous areas, on bridges and near water currents.
-
Is formed mainly in foggy days.
-
Has usually been distributed uniformly on the road.
17. Outside a residential area you should switch on the dipped headlights also in the day-time:
-
To overtake.
-
In a tunnel.
18. The tyre grip on a wet road is reduced when compared to a dry road, by:
19. You are driving in a motorway. It is raining, therefore, visibility is reduced. You should:
-
Switch on your lights.
-
Switch on the hazard warning lights.
-
Not use the lights.
20. Aquaplaning occurs:
-
When you throw road water to the other users.
-
When your vehicle slips on a layer of road water.
21. If a driver moving in the opposite direction dazzles you having their headlights on full beam:
-
You should switch on your full beam headlights as well.
-
You should slow down and drive looking at the right side.
22. What should you do when tyre grip on the road is reduced?
-
Slow down and avoid abrupt movements through the steering-wheel.
-
Restrict the speed of your car to 50 km/h.
23. You are turning from a well-lit street to another which is not lit. What should you be careful about in this case?
-
The speed must be adjusted to different visibility conditions.
-
The eyes adjust immediately to different lighting conditions.
-
Obstacles on the edges of the road are recognised easier than before.
24. Which hours must you have the dipped headlights of your car on when moving?
-
From 7 in the evening till 6 in the morning.
-
From sunrise to sunset.
-
Half an hour after sunset and up to half an hour before sunrise.
25. It is foggy and you are driving in a motorway having a visibility of 40 m. What speed must you not exceed?
-
70 km/h.
-
50 km/h.
-
90 km/h.
26. In the day-time you should use your lights:
-
When reversing.
-
When visibility is insufficient.
-
When driving in country roads.
27. Every time you overtake a vehicle in the night-time and you are allowed to switch on the full beam headlights, you should do this:
-
Just before moving to the left.
-
When you are on the same level with it.
-
When you are on the left and before reaching its level.
28. What should you do if in the day-time you enter an underground passage which has insufficient light?
-
Use the light warnings.
-
Switch on the dipped headlights.
-
Switch on the side lights.
29. Why should you drive with at least the dipped headlights on even in the day-time, when visibility is obstructed significantly by a fog, rainfall or snowfall?
-
So that you become visible in good time by the other road users.
-
So that you are able to move at a very high speed.
30. Can you drive with headlights on full beam in an unlit residential area?
