1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Frozen roads are often more slippery:
-
When the snow starts thawing.
-
When it starts snowing.
-
At the beginning of spring.
5. After a long dry spell a road may be more slippery:
-
When it stops raining.
-
When it starts raining.
-
After a two-hour raining.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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).
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. Outside a residential area you should switch on the dipped headlights also in the day-time:
-
To overtake.
-
In a tunnel.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. In the day-time you should use your lights:
-
When reversing.
-
When visibility is insufficient.
-
When driving in country roads.
19. 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.
20. 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.
21. 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.
22. Can you drive with headlights on full beam in an unlit residential area?
23. 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.
24. 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.
25. 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.
26. In order to avoid aquaplaning:
-
Drive at a reduced speed.
-
Drive in a high gear.
27. 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.
28. The tyre grip on a wet road is reduced when compared to a dry road, by:
29. Aquaplaning occurs:
-
When you throw road water to the other users.
-
When your vehicle slips on a layer of road water.
30. 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.
