Not enough to pass :-(

Ouch! While you were on a roll there for a few questions, you didn’t pass this time. But I know this test, and I think you’ll pass next time. Really.

1. Before beginning to drive downhill, you should:

Take your vehicle out of gear.

Shift into a lower gear.

Move into the left lane.

To avoid overusing your brakes, you should always shift into a lower gear before starting down a hill.

2. If you are being tailgated, you should:

Drive on the shoulder.

Pull off the roadway.

Drive faster.

Allow the vehicle to pass.

If you are being tailgated, it is best to allow more room to open up in front of your vehicle. This will help you avoid the need for sudden stops, which could result in the tailgater rear-ending you, and will make it easier for the tailgater to pass. Speeding up may only make things more dangerous by prompting the other driver to continue tailgating you at a higher speed.

3. When inspecting the interior of a bus, you should:

Assume all emergency exits work properly.

Loosen every seat.

Check all signaling devices.

Not waste time looking at the handrails and floor lining.

When inspecting the interior of a bus, you must make sure everything is safe and in proper working condition. Make sure all signaling devices, such as bathroom emergency buzzers, work properly.

4. When stopping:

The brake pedal should be pressed down gradually.

The brake pedal should be pushed down quickly.

The brake pedal should be pressed down repeatedly, but not held down continuously.

The amount of force required on the brake pedal will be the same each time you slow or stop.

Press the brake pedal down smoothly and gradually every time you slow or stop. The amount of brake pressure you need to apply depends on the speed of your vehicle and how quickly you need to stop.

5. When coming to a stop, you should apply the brake pedal by:

Pushing down gradually.

Pushing down quickly.

Pulling up gradually.

When stopping, you should push the brake pedal down gradually. Braking gradually will help you to maintain proper control of your vehicle.

6. If you doubt that you have enough space to safely drive under a bridge or sign, you should:

Drive faster.

Drive more slowly.

Drive on the shoulder.

If you are not certain that your vehicle will fit under overhead objects, you should slow down and take a different route, if possible.

7. Black ice is:

Usually thick.

Usually thin.

Not a hazard when driving.

Black ice is a layer of ice that is thin and clear enough for the road to be visible through it. The surface will look like a wet road. Always be alert to black ice if the road looks wet when the temperature is below freezing.

8. A vehicle inspection:

Is a waste of time.

Is helpful in identifying minor issues before they become major problems.

Should not be done by the driver.

Should be performed once a month.

A vehicle should be inspected before every trip to help ensure that any small mechanical issues are caught before they become more serious problems. It is better to discover a problem with your vehicle before a drive than after the drive has begun.

9. When driving, you should stop and take a break ____ to avoid becoming too tired.

Every half hour

To reduce the chances of becoming fatigued on a long trip, a driver should stop for a break at least once every two hours or 100 miles driven.

10. When backing, it is best to:

Rely only on the passenger’s side mirror.

Stop between 15 and 50 feet before the nearest track.
