In stop-and-go traffic, the safest practice is to:
Answer: Keep enough space to see the rear tires of the car ahead
Leaving space lets you maneuver and avoid rear-ending if traffic stops suddenly.
What is the main danger of a vehicle's blind spot?
Answer: Another vehicle may be hidden from view
Blind spots can hide vehicles that mirrors don't show, so a head check is essential.
When parking uphill with a curb, which way should you turn your front wheels?
Answer: Away from the curb
Turning wheels away from the curb uphill lets the car roll back into the curb if brakes fail.
What does a flashing red traffic signal mean?
Answer: Stop, then proceed when safe
A flashing red light functions like a stop sign: stop, then go when it is safe.
Why is texting while driving especially dangerous?
Answer: It combines visual, manual, and cognitive distraction
Texting takes your eyes, hands, and mind off driving all at once.
When driving at night, you should reduce your speed because:
Answer: Your visibility and reaction distance are reduced
Limited nighttime visibility means you need more time to react to hazards.
What should you do if your brakes suddenly fail while driving?
Answer: Pump the brakes and downshift to slow down
Pumping the brakes may restore pressure, and downshifting uses engine braking to slow the car.
