Dallah Test Driving Techniques 2

Question 1

What is the proper technique for making a U-turn on a Saudi road?

Accepted Answer

Only make U-turns where permitted by signs, ensure the road is clear in both directions, signal, and turn when safe

Answer

U-turns should only be made where permitted (look for U-turn signs or breaks in median barriers). Check for oncoming and following traffic, signal your intention, and complete the turn only when you can do so safely without obstructing traffic.

Question 2

When driving downhill on a steep Saudi mountain road, what gear should you use?

Accepted Answer

A lower gear to use engine braking and reduce strain on the brake system

Answer

Using a lower gear on steep descents provides engine braking, which slows the vehicle and reduces reliance on the braking system. Over-using brakes on long descents can cause brake fade (overheating), leading to brake failure.

Question 3

What is the correct action if your vehicle starts to skid on a Saudi road?

Accepted Answer

Ease off the accelerator, avoid sudden braking, and steer gently in the direction you want the car to go

Answer

If skidding, release the accelerator, avoid braking suddenly (which worsens the skid), and gently steer in the direction you want the front of the car to go. This technique helps regain traction and control.

Question 4

What should you do when approaching a school zone during school hours in Saudi Arabia?

Accepted Answer

Reduce speed to the posted school zone limit, watch for children, and be prepared to stop

Answer

School zones require reduced speed (typically 30-40 km/h), heightened awareness of children who may enter the road unexpectedly, and readiness to stop. Speed reductions apply during posted school hours.

Question 5

How should you adjust your driving in extremely hot Saudi weather conditions?

Accepted Answer

Monitor tire pressure (heat increases pressure), watch for tire blowouts, stay hydrated, and be aware that road surfaces may soften

Answer

Extreme heat (45°C+) affects both vehicle and driver. Tires can overheat and blow out, road surfaces may soften, engine cooling systems are stressed, and driver fatigue increases. Regular breaks, proper tire maintenance, and hydration are essential.
