Question 1

When driving in heavy rain, you should increase your following distance to at least:

In heavy rain, you should at least double the normal 2-second following distance to 4 seconds or more to account for reduced braking ability.

Question 2

What does 'hydroplaning' mean?

Accepted Answer

Tires losing contact with road due to water

Answer

Hydroplaning occurs when a layer of water builds up between the tires and the road, causing the vehicle to lose traction and float on the water surface.

Question 3

When backing out of a parking space, you should:

Turn and look through the rear window while also checking mirrors

Answer

When reversing, you should turn your body to look through the rear window directly while also checking your mirrors for a complete view of the area.

Question 4

If your accelerator pedal sticks while driving, you should first:

Accepted Answer

Shift into neutral and apply the brakes

Answer

Shifting into neutral disconnects the engine power from the wheels, allowing you to brake safely and pull over without losing steering control.

Question 5

What is the primary danger of driving with worn tire tread?

Reduced traction, especially on wet roads

Answer

Worn tread cannot channel water away from the contact patch, dramatically reducing grip and greatly increasing the risk of hydroplaning and skidding.
