G2 Emergency Situations and Defensive Driving

Question 1

If your brakes suddenly fail while driving in Ontario, what is the FIRST action you should take?

Accepted Answer

Pump the brake pedal rapidly to build up pressure

Answer

Pumping the brake pedal rapidly can restore hydraulic pressure in non-ABS vehicles and may regain some braking ability.

Question 2

What does defensive driving primarily involve in Ontario?

Accepted Answer

Anticipating the actions of others and preparing for hazards in advance

Answer

Defensive driving means staying alert, scanning ahead, and anticipating potential dangers so you can react safely before a crisis occurs.

Question 3

If you experience a tire blowout at highway speed in Ontario, you should:

Accepted Answer

Grip the wheel firmly, ease off the gas, and steer straight to slow gradually

Answer

Gripping the wheel and gradually reducing speed prevents loss of control; hard braking or sharp steering can cause a dangerous skid or rollover.

Question 4

When should Ontario G2 drivers use their hazard lights while driving?

Accepted Answer

Only when the vehicle is stopped or moving very slowly due to an emergency

Answer

Hazard lights should be used when a vehicle is stopped or barely moving and poses a danger to other traffic, not as a substitute for turn signals while driving.

Question 5

What is the safest following distance a G2 driver should maintain in good conditions in Ontario?

Accepted Answer

3 seconds

Answer

A minimum 3-second following distance gives drivers time to perceive a hazard and brake safely before reaching the vehicle ahead.
